breaking: he is enraged




"BREAKING: GOP consultant tells me Trump is “absolutely enraged” by the news coverage of his meeting with Pelosi and Schumer today. Trump apparently blames Pence for not speaking up. He thinks Pence “lost it for him.” And he wishes he never held the meeting, calling it a “set up.”

People on DU do not typically refer to undocumented immigrants or workers as "illegals".

I am sure that Trump or someone in association with him has a financial stake in the building of the wall. Just as important however, is the symbolism. If there is an actual section of wall that Trump is able to build, he will go stand in front of it, put his name around it, and claim it as an ultimate victory against his opponents.

How many years of combined experience in politics do you think they have? He was really stupid to try this stunt. I guess he's been believing his own lies about Democrats. Then the reality slapped him in the face!

Turns out that trap outsmarted the trapper, turned right around and ensnared Mr. gutbrain-in-chief himself.

And maybe if you hadn't terrified Pence into a catatonic stupor by making him sit within 10' of a woman who wasn't "Mother," he'd have spoken up. But maybe not. Anyhow, you fucked up by making the yuge mistake of thinking you could outwit Chuck 'n' Nancy.

He's always enraged, fuming, yelling, ranting according to the purveyors of palace intrigue based on so-called anonymous WH sources.

It's all he's got, it's all he's focused on - distraction via the news cycle.

It's old and boring.

and insist it be on camera.
Let's face it trump (and pence in his silence) got his ass kicked on public TV. He thought he was going to "put" Nancy in her "place" and, based on past interactions, thought Chuck would cower. He thought wrong and got a little taste of what's to come.
This man is truly scared.
Get 'em Nancy.

went off script and never asked for Pence's thoughts on anything. That is pure Trump. Why in the hell would you make the VP of the USA come out and sit on this stage and say NOTHING? Unless you meant to humiliate and diminish him. This was nothing more than Trump's ego getting him to go nertz. Whoever set this thing up is an idiot and I thank him or her.

an orange, mush-brained man-child and a spineless, fundy, half-an-asshole. They spank you raw in front of the cameras.

Oh, and keep pissing off your elf-on-a-shelf VP, Trump. Hopefully, he'll tell you, in the most biblical way imaginable, to go fuck yourself when the day comes that you ask him for a pardon.

It's a set-up he'll always lose. He doesn't know jack shit about government. Pelosi and Schumer have been in the thick of it for most of their professional lives. Trump is like a baseball player who has neither a bat nor a glove, and whose only skill is arguing with the umpire. You can drag out the game, but you'll never score.

At the same time, weirdest thing I’ve seen in a while with Nancy and Chuck turning to the camera/ press and talking about him and the situation as if he weren’t there, 😹, good move on their part, with pence zombie just sitting there😹

His worst public moment out of the gazillion or so was the putin meeting where he was so obviously beholden to and terrified of putin.

They ripped out his liver and gave it to him in a sandwich, while smiling convivially at the camera.

If I was Trump after that meeting, the first stop would be the bathroom, where I could check to see if I still had both balls.
