When Nixon was cracking up we heard

he was walking the halls talking to portraits.

We didn’t see him until the night he went on TV to resign. He looked run down and tired.

I am not seeing evidence in trump’s face that he is cracking up.

The reports and his actions show something is going on.

But the only people talking about firing people is the MSM as if they want it to happen.

Nixon was drinking a lot, which probably contributed to his tired appearance. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2018 #1

Trump doesn't drink. But I think he looks pretty bad - his skin is baggy and rough and his eyes are even more beady and puffy than usual. Some level of rage is his normal state, so he's used to it, but by all accounts he's much ragier than is normal, even for him. Perpetual rage is very bad for a person's health.

And I'm happy to see that it's taking a toll. (Nope, I don't feel guilty for wishing ill upon him. Not one bit.)

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath.

Nixon was more a like a smart white collar criminal.

For him, this may be viewed as some sick game...as long as he’s in this situation, he might as well see how much he can get away with.

Karma sucks.

May he feel the same way we all did the day after the election. And by all of us, I mean collectively, not individually.
