He is getting power drunk. The look on his face. the way he carries himself. He thinks he is the most powerful man in the world and can do anything he wants.
He isn't the most powerful person but he sure manages to do whatever he wants.

And, unfortunately, nothing has really happened that should make him think otherwise.

(9,426 posts)He is still as ugly as a mud fence, too. Orange peel skin, shapeless frame, no chin, baggy pants. He is repulsive. A joke worldwide. Unfortunately, he and his "kids" are burning through the Treasury as though is it their right. Horrible family.

Mc Mike
(9,114 posts)He's also been rage tweeting dozens of tweets, which shows how scared the coward is.
He also always claims he's winning and he's won, even after the 'fake news' reports that he's been completely rebuffed and defeated on whatever issue he 'won' on.
In short, fuck that bloated blubbering fascist.

He has to know that no one really wants anything to do with him. Only total deplorables accept his invitations. World leaders find they have other prior engagements. Sports teams turn down visits.
It all seems to go right over his head. He just goes to Mir a lago where he can play king of the mountain.

(18,869 posts)No one knows what the hell to do with Trump . He just openly and flagrantly ignores the rule of law. We haven't ever run into anything like this before. Not in my lifetime anyway.

(4,490 posts)Nothing in our system really accounts for more than half of one of the Congressional chambers just deciding the law is irrelevant, while a traitor is occupying the Presidency. As much as I like the Constitution, it's still just a piece of paper. If enough people decide it's worth about as much as toilet paper, that's what happens. We aren't quite there yet, but we've been heading there for awhile now, and we're on the brink.
Luckily, 2018 has shown that our democratic institutions aren't completely compromised, even if the Republicans have corrupted it significantly to their advantage.

(33,956 posts)And the Democrats would have to become lawless to fight this.
However, if the Democrats become lawless, the republicans will turn into the law and order party overnight and because they have the political power, would annihilate the Democrats for doing the same thing they did.
They have the courts, the Justice department, et al.
We are in deep shit and I almost think that the Democrats are afraid to show the American people how much trouble we are really in.

Ilsa
(61,695 posts)Not just because of his emotional state, but because so many of the sane people that were in the administration are gone now. He's surrounded mostly by extremists, incompetents, and bigots. They'd love to see him go hyperbolic on both foreign and domestic policies, in practice as much as in ideas.
gulliver

watoos
(7,142 posts)for him to get reelected, Democrats stay home instead of voting. If we don't get demoralized, if we stay enthused about voting him out of office, he can't win.
Trump beat Hillary because his base voted and Democrats didn't. All that Trump is going to have in 2020 is his base and that isn't enough to win if Democrats vote like we did in 2018.

(28,341 posts)to drop and start controlling his every interaction with the press. Allow me to explain.
I think Vladdy tells Trump he needs to be tougher on the media, he is the ruler and he should not allow them to treat him so shamefully. He should not tolerate them saying such false lies about him. He deserves more respect, he won, and so on and so on. Trump, of course, is a fucking idiot, so he thinks to himself "Yeah! enough with those bastards. They should all be writing about how great I am" and that's when he starts to shout at them for being "rude" and comes up with gems like yesterday's "it's not the FREE press if they write things I don't like" argument.
