Pelosi and Schumer played Trump like the cheap fiddle he is. They PWNed him and left him there with egg all over his face. Schumer's grin demonstrates that he knew exactly what they had accomplished.

They let Donwald Trump himself.

He actually believes that. In his former life, he could walk all over people, but now he's in over his head. Deeply over his head.

It's catching up to him now. He believed that Cohen, for example, would back him up no matter what happened, so he insulted Cohen in public, not realizing that he was dissing a man who had the keys to Trump's own jail cell.

Trump is a stupid, stupid, arrogant man. At one time, he may have had his way in things, but that time is long over for him. His competence is gone, but his arrogance remains. That's not a good combination.

he was doing fine spending other people's money, stiffing contractors and vendors, beating down property taxes, hiring undocumented workers, hanging with the mob(s)......ah, the good old days.

But no, he had to let himself get wound up by that nasty black fella who made fun of him at the dinner and run for POTUS. Out of his league, class, and domain now hes's going dooooowwwwn for the count.

Imagine how much fun it would be to be an invisible guest at what's left of the dRump family at their holiday dinners. I'm thinking the old man is not going to be spoken about in a kindly manner.

It's telling that he was enraged without them resorting to childishly calling him names. Straight talk is enough to flummox and derange him.

I saw a clip of Sen. Schumer getting tearful, and it choked me up. Trumpsky and his ilk must have enjoyed his pain.

10. He really thinks this is "The President's Apprentice" reality show
Wed Dec 12, 2018, 02:28 PM
Dec 2018

That's the only explanation I can think of for why this would happen. Trump's experience on The Apprentice was completely irrelevant but he doesn't get it. The producers and show runners on The Apprentice geared the entire show to play up to his (few) strengths and play down his (many) liabilities. One of the major weaknesses on that show was that Trump couldn't follow a script. He couldn't even read one, let along follow it. He just made everything up on the spot and all the other actors had to play along with him. He was constantly saying and doing the wrong things, but the show runners just edited his mistakes out later.

There are so many stories of this happening over the years he did the show, it's clear that he never understood what was really happening. Well now there are no producers, editors and show runners, and he's still screwing everything up. But there's nobody to jump in and save his butt. Now America is seeing what a f*ckup he really is. This will continue and it will get worse, until he's finally removed from office.

WELL SAID!

I still say I want to see him leave the WH "King George" style. Foaming in a straight jacket on a gurney going to the "special" prison for loonies.

He would most likely be screaming epithets somewhere between gibberish and all his other special words...covefe! Smockin!....

with a media ambush. They were not made aware that TV cameras would be on hand. After Trump got his ass handed to hem he claims we was set up.
