I think Trump is in a funk because he can't hold rallies and bluster

[eleny]

He loves rallies where he can hold court and people act like he's the man.

If he holds a rally all he's got is to declare that the elections were rigged. Except that the ones that were rigged to help the Republican candidate - the Dems beat the rig with overwhelming numbers and tenacity. When we vote and fight - we can win.

So he has to sit in the White House and brood until he pulls another idea out of his ass.

1. He cannot govern, but he can hold rallies.

And the rallies provide the emotional support that the 72 year old infant desperately needs.

[eleny]

4. He can but he's not holding rallies

He's ashamed. It's an emotion foreign to him. It's so bad that he failed his duties in Paris and on Veterans Day. It's really bad. His ego is in tatters. It makes him dangerous.

But my point is that he's not holding rallies and I think that I know why.

9. Can a narcissist feel shame?

Can a sociopath feel guilt?

[eleny]

12. That's the problem that's chewing at his guts

He can't absorb it and it's immobilized him.

8. So true, you. 😘

10. We miss you in the religion group.

Some of us. The others demonstrate other things.

22. My dear heart;--Did you hear from a post of the husband? I took a body slam dive in our front hall

two weeks tomorrow and dislocated my left shoulder. I yelled bloody murder when they 'manipulated' it back into place. Saw a followup doc today. It could've broke and surgery, but this was bad enuff. I'm doing my level best. The past several days I started to enter into deep sadness.

The dogga daughter ran along side of me husband says [I think not]. I'm naturally clumsy and flip flops don't help.

I'm weary and have to abbreviate some parts of my life. Laundry and chores take the stuffins outta me.

Forgive me gals and guys. I'm reading but can't think straight to post.

Love youse,
💙

23. I will reply in a PM.

2. That is definitely part of why he is pouting and having tantrums. Nicolle Wallace just called

him "President GrumpyPants". I prefer to call him President Poopy Pants.

[PJMcK]

7. I'll never call him president

That title and the name Trump won't pass my lips or my keyboard together.

3. Malignant Narcissist withdraw symptoms....More Touch Myself Rallies stat!

[eleny]

5. He can hold a rally but he'll be the weak leader at the podium who couldn't deliver the wins

[Thomas Hurt]

6. You are describing reality, neither Trump or his cultists live in the real world.

Truth to Trump is whatever pops into this nutjob head to make himself look good.

You know like saying you don't know the guy you appointed to head the DOJ.

[eleny]

13. Thanks for the reality nod! :)

The thing is he can't hold a rally without being the guy who helped lose the House for the Republicans. We've won close to 40 new seats. Every darned day there's another reminder as another Dem is declared the winner.

I read that his father brought him up with the philosophy that you're either a killer or a loser. Well, he didn't kill off the Dems, so he's crippled.

[shanny]

11. He's in a funk because he's got "LOSER" tattooed on his forehead

for everyone to see. He's not alone: I don't think we've heard from his odious spawn for a week either, esp. donnie jr.

[eleny]

14. You're right

No peeps from his peanut gallery. And it's not like they can all have a White House meetup to console each other. They don't seem to be that kind of family.

[Vinca]

15. I think he's finally realized just how screwed he really is.

It appears the only way he'll stay out of jail over the next 6 years is to be POTUS. The second he's out, he's going to be facing both state and federal indictments. Now the tide is turning and 2020 is not a sure thing for him anymore. He's probably stewing about what a fool he was to become so irked by Barack Obama's Press Club roast that he ran for President as revenge. Don might have gone his merry way bilking and fleecing and scamming people out of their life savings until he died. Now he's likely to end up in the GOP wing of a federal prison. It's nice his favorite color seems to be orange.

16. I agree 100% - It's one tsunami after another

This is the thing of epics and Shakespeare.

[Grasswire2]

17. Look up the term "narcissistic supply"

That will explain everything. He has a deficit and no way to fill it now.

[eleny]

18. Yup

Like shanny said above, he's got loser tattooed on his forehead.

He can't feed the beast that's a bottomless pit. Maybe he can get himself one of those applause machines like they had in "A Face In The Crowd".

[Hassler]

19. They can fly him around to various airplane hangars and stage rallies

With campaign staff subbing for his shrivelling base.

[central scrutinizer]

20. They hire tweakers from Craigslist

As long as they don't pay them in advance

[NewJeffCT]

21. he'll still have some rallies

not nearly as frequently, but that's about all he enjoys these days so the staff will schedule some for him just to get him out of the White House.
