His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[7

Never to admit a fault or wrong; never to accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

As long as the media does not report the truth like Fox News he loves them then.

outlet. The real fake news.

A Twitter tweet? Powell isn't running for anything...A lot of rethugs are going to be coming out against him...he'll be spending his bunker time putting out juvenile tweets 24/7.. Folks just need to get out and vote in Nov

we are going to get to vote, count the votes, vote by mail

SIGH

no , we are NOT going to be able to do that and we BETTER make contingency plans

Hitler was defeated by the war. Trump has no such problem.

Hitler's judgment deteriorated over time. Trump is ... more extreme, but somehow stronger.

It's like we have to convince him everything is fine just long enough to steal the country back from his grasp.

There are many madmen around him. Similar personality types. Who want to rid society of those who don't agree with them.

There are contingency plans? Other than free-society uproar and hope for the best?

That's the normal trump.

he's predictable as the tides in that respect.

get ready for a doozy of a day; he's got no public appearances today.

i've been trying hard to not pay attention to how trump responds to anyone. there's bigger fish to fry at this point.

Anyone that speaks out against him is going to get a Twitter rant. That's Trump, the internet tough guy.

not wired in a way that allows any productive thoughts. He has no forethought, lives in the moment.

Trump would have his critics imprisoned or executed if he could; he is a fascist dictator wannabe

I've said that many times. At the rate he's going, he will run out of people to throw under the bus.

in a few months many will pretend they never supported him.

He will be a fucking pariah - it is over bar the shouting. Down he goes.

He'd literally explode if he couldn't twiddle his fat little baby fingers over his iPhone to get in the last word to his devoted, drooling worshippers. He knows it. "Ten times harder," Melania said once. Sad!

Trump is beyond thin-skinned and anyone who dares criticize, let alone announce their support for Joe Biden will be similarly attacked and bad-mouthed. This is who he is, who he's always been. It will no doubt get worse as he bleeds support and adoration. The man is off the rails!

It should be obvious that Trump cannot control his urge to counter attack any perceived slight. This provides a means of causing him much distraction from his vile missions and corruptions. All that is required is a steady, continuous, inceasing stream of criticisms and attacks aimed directly at him, by name, in the social media he reads. He will then be obliged by his mental illnesss to do naught but address these perceived wrongs.

Eventually, even his closest supporters will recognize that he is fit only for a rubber room and around-the-clock adult supervision.

Given enough criticisms, he won't have enough time to do anything but counterattack. (With a few time outs, of course, for the Big Macs he needs to replenish his superpowers.)

...just need to find the hot buttons...the red herrings...he can't help chase after.

Let's see:

Little fingers
Dim intellect
Draft dodger
Bone spurs
Hiding in the bunker

geez...if I wasn't so tired I bet there are a hundred things!!!

You would have to be ethically disabled to support him.

Thank you for this!

It is evident that he is melting before our eyes. In doing so, however, it is damaging the very foundations of our country. We need to be fully aware of that, and your posts are extremely important and helpful.

Does he catch us off guard? Hell yes, but only in how brazen he is. But that he’ll do something brazen is predictable.
