About Trump's Daily Tweets.. One short observation:

Last edited Sun Dec 16, 2018, 10:15 PM - Edit history (3)

It seems as he does this day after day, that Mr. Trump still thinks that he is above the law. That nobody will ever get him. It seems his idea is that not only is he above the law, but his close-knit gang is also above the law. His family and a few more. While he may have quite a bit of "fear", he will not stop this tweeting, because he knows it all, he is the boss, and he thinks he is above the law. Also, he will not admit that he is wrong, even if it is obvious. We all can see this clearly. His arrogance and his belief that he is above the law, will take him and the gang down too. It is just a matter of time. (Yes, Mueller has taken down some, but it seems obvious to all, that Mueller will get the rest.)

He will do anything, at all, to save himself.

If that means war and millions dead, count on it.

That is why ANYONE supporting him, right now, average people, are guilty of his crimes, he cant do it without support. Maybe he would but having the support makes it a sure thing.

If you support rump you are guilty of what he does. Remember that , deplorables.

It would play into everything he loves - racism, hurting or killing brown people, opportunity to enrich himself, shut down Mueller, shut down all the investigations, etc. I can just hear him saying that "Democrats are letting terrorists into the country, they are making us unsafe. I have to shut down the constitution to allow us to catch and apprehend these terrorists and all the people behind them and until then we are in a state of emergency. I am authorizing the imediata construction of the wall. There will be no elections until we have secured the country and all Muslims will be rounded up and incarcerated (paying DeVos $750 per day) regardless of their citizenship status and all Hispanics will be deported, again regardless of citizenship, because they helped the terrorists gain entry to this country. There is an immediate curfew, and National Guard will shoot on sight anyone out of their homes after 5pm today.

I hope the folks in the Air Force are prepared to hide the launch codes. The next couple of months are going to be like driving home with your psycho-drunk uncle at the wheel. I hope we all get to laugh about this someday.

once someone with a brain tells him how to do that, it is all over for us.

I truly believe he will start a war at least with Iran, possibly the world.

Trump phases me as a guy that solves his problems in the bathroom. He eats in there. He shits in there. He does "whatever" in there. He tweets in there.

4. he always has to have the last word
Sun Dec 16, 2018, 05:38 PM

It is part of his bullying tactics. By having the last word, he thinks that he is demolishing the opposition and negating all criticism against him. He is so self absorbed that he hasn't noticed that having the last word is not working for him. Quite the contrary. All he succeeds in doing is showing his stupidity and creating more causes to be ridiculed. He is an object lesson in how people create their own endless samsara.

I guess I had noticed it but I had never really thought about it, but no matter the situation he always has to be the last person to speak. During debates in 2016, interviews, press conferences, etc if he's called out on something he attacks the other person trying to make them look bad while propping himself up. He can never just let something go, even small things like a gold star widow saying he came across as uncaring during a phone call with her. I remember saying once Trump needs to learn how to let some things go and respond to others cause it comes off s petty and unpresidential.

The lies, the jealousy, the vengefullness is all 4 year old stuff. Having to always get the last word in and then bolting. Kid behavior.

About people thinking he's frantic in fear and such. He said that Trump IS probably fearful, but that his personality is such that it wouldn't cross his mind that he's in serious legal trouble, or that he broke the law, or that the law even applies to him. He is not self-analytical and does not look inward. What you see is what you get. He is cold and all about money. He appears unsympathetic because he IS unsympathetic and not empathetic. He truly does not think of others.

into his entire organization and family, and the rip off that they perpetuated on the American public, who voted for him, in that they felt he was really interested in their plight. He'll manufacture some crisis, but I think that it will be rapidly seen through, and exposed for the lie it truly is and then his jig will be up finally and totally. I don't put it pass him.

However, it will be exposed soon, whatever he tries, for he's proven to be so ineffective as a leader and also, his blatant criminal behavior is disgusting to so many, which is exposed day by day.
