Take cheer when Trump is being publicly sullen and insulting

It means he can’t even pretend to be happy. He’s probably really chapped that he looks like a loser right now. Every day he’s lashing out in a rage. He’s tweeting insults at Macron while being a guest there. He’s refusing to honor our own WWI fallen soldiers. He fired Sessions too quickly (probably because of losing his cool with Jim Acosta the day before), and his public appearances show him scowling and in a bad mood.

That’s not the visage of a winner.

Which means we’re winning this time.

No.

Self interest is the only "feeling" he has. When you are the ONLY worthy living thing, you do not voluntarily check out. He will never suicide.

Hell, one of the reasons his heart pitter-pattered for Dr. Candy-Man was Dr. Candy telling him he could live to 200! He wants to believe that, to the very depth of his being, he wants to believe that. He believes he is entitled to it.

He's been told I sure what a Dem controlled House really means. He thought the last 2 years were uncomfortable. That's a sunny, warm day on the golf course compared to what's coming. And as we keep picking up the too close to call seats in the House and Senate, it's insult to injury. Add Muller as a cherry on top. He's f'd and he knows it.

similar to when a baby has gas pains, and what looks like a smile is really the kid trying to let loose with one.

Same with Trump. He often looks like that soon after finishing an entire side of beef by himself, only he's a much bigger baby, so it looks like he's smiling but he's really just trying to explode with a big one. That's why you rarely see anyone standing with 25 feet of him immediately after lunch or dinner.
