Everything he says is sensible. Even after he'd been badly injured in a terrible accident, a few years ago, he was still impressive.

where does he live now? NY? He's a Boston native - maybe he could challenge the unbeatable Charlie Baker in 2022?

Look at his hands in both clips: he's got his hands clasped. Experts say that this conveys anxiety, and the sense that you are being defeated. When you deal with a liar like this, you look at other clues like body language.

She's more and more empowered as this thing goes on, and he is responding accordingly. He hasn't got enough fight in him.

The closest he came was facing off against Hillary in the debates.

The major difference, of course, was that he didn't hold an elected office. He was just a punk from The Apprentice. And she also didn't hold an elected office that put her in a position of being able to enforce checks and balances on his excesses.

He IS scared. It's the first time in his life in which a woman holds power that is in some ways equal to or greater than his own, who is neither afraid nor intimidated by him, and is putting the brakes on him. His power has limits, and the same holds true for Nancy Pelosi. But Trump is uneducated and unskilled in his role, while Pelosi is the exact opposite.

In exchange for gloating and taking a victory lap over defeating Pelosi, which he was unable to do, he chose to tweet about scaring and intimidating Michael Cohen. He's like a junkie with a needle in his arm. He has to feel that hit, that rush. And he's never going to get that from Nancy Pelosi.
