Like 90% of Trump's tweets sound to me exactly like a badly written action movie villain just as the climactic scene turns in the hero's favor.

"YOU CANNOT STOP ME! SEIZE HIM!"

Sometimes I hear the more articulate among his supporters spin, and they're very good at it. Being a person who tries to think critically, I occaisionally ask myself "Is it possible I'm reading Trump wrong? Could he be not quite as terrible as I think?"

Then I read one of these tweets.

I think Trump was upset that the President of Finland did not flatter him. Niinisto praised the value of American democracy and that it should be cherished and protected and continued. But he said what you have developed over decades or longer. I think Trump expected to be hailed the champion of democracy and was disappointed that he was not singled out as solely responsible for the success of American democracy to date.

I'm disappointed that there were no questions about Finns raking the forest. I imagine that could have give Trump a stroke. It looked like he was on the verge of one during the whole event. It's too bad someone didn't tip him over the edge.

Trump supporters don't care because the people being shot aren't white. Everyone knows that all Trump voters are bigots.

Mississippi, there is a VERY important election for Governor on November 5th. I need you to Get Out and Vote for our Great Republican nominee, @TateReeves. Tate is strong on Crime, tough on Illegal Immigration, and will protect your Second Amendment....

Has anyone noticed that ever since Rudy was subpoened for his so called documents he has fallen silent?
 
A Third of Voters Who Oppose Impeachment Are Worried About Backlash for Democrats, New Poll Suggests

A new YouGov Blue poll for the Progressive Change Institute, the nonprofit polling arm of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, lends insight into both of these crucial questions. The poll, released Wednesday morning, found that other polls undercount support for Democrats moving forward on an impeachment inquiry. It also revealed that a third of voters who oppose impeachment actually agree that Trump committed high crimes, but are concerned that it would hurt Democrats politically. And a majority of the voters who support an impeachment inquiry said Democrats should proceed “boldly and decisively,” with all members voting within the next month.

Overall, the poll suggests that voters are roughly split, with 49 percent supporting impeachment and 43 percent opposing it. This dovetails with recent Monmouth University and Quinnipiac polls, which show strengthening support for impeachment. But the YouGov poll shows that those opposed to impeachment may be concerned about political ramifications for Democrats.

So the yes/no on proceeding with impeachment is followed by a significant tranche who believe this President is a criminal, but the strategic concerns worry them more.
 
I bet the Finnish President needed a good shot of Finlandia Vodka after seeing the meltdown by Trump at close range.

Just was talking on the phone with my sister who is a practicing attorney, about that.
She said she is sure Rudy's legal advisors gave him the standard advice;if you are indicted or issued a subpoena or any legal summons, keep your mouth shut. Don't talk about it. It will only hurt you.

You may not be tired of winning but you most certainly will be tired of hearing this endlessly until November of next year .... and maybe quite a while afterward.

I have a sick feeling even if he loses, Donnie will claim the election was stolen and therefore invalid, and will refuse to vacate the office.
And all hell will break loose.

I worry about him pulling that, but as soon as a new president is sworn in Trump is a private citizen. And trespassing.

I've been saying that as a likely outcome for a couple of months.

There is no way he will accept defeat and will absolutely scream FAKE!!11! He will call it a crooked election result and will not leave.

I can't wait!
 
Is it just me? I can't bear any more listening to this psychotic unhinged moron's rants. We're going to have to hear this nutjob rage for another year.

Children and people with diminished mental capacity can easily convince themselves to believe in something that is objectively false. Heck, one need not even have a mental defect or disorder to do it.

So I have to ask, why do you say that he knows his inauguration crowd was thin? He has even said,” from where I was standing it looked like a million people.” President Trump has an almost super-human ability to believe that he is right and all objective evidence is wrong.

Let's put it this way, he fluctuates between conceit & bravado and serious insecurity. Which one do you think is his actual beliefs? I imagine he himself fluctuates between the two.

Ladewig said:
Again, I strongly disagree. I assert that he has convinced himself that he ran a perfect campaign and it was his charm, his keen understanding of how to influence people, and his genius-level grasp of national and world affairs that produced his perfect landslide victory. She is right when she concludes that the president cannot stand people saying the victory wasn’t legitimate. But it is not because he knows it wasn’t, but rather because he doesn’t want that rumor to spread. The president believes he is perfect and understands that his life becomes easier if everyone just acknowledge it.

That looks like Trump apologetics mixed with admissions he's a pathologic narcissist.

We have a gazillion page discussion on Trump's mental health or lack thereof if you want to join us over there.

What you are missing, (discussed in the mental illness thread) is the fact Trump acts on impulse. You seem to think his actions are more calculated than that.

As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP, intended to take away the Power of the....

....People, their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military, Border Wall, and their God-given rights as a Citizen of The United States of America!

The 15 minute tirade wasn't enough. This is going to go on for months.
