Maybe, Just Maybe, All of This Will Send Trump off the Deep End.

Now, most of us would say he's already jumped, but I think there may be even more to come. Maybe, just maybe, the pressure will be just too much for Donwald J. Trump and he'll do something so shocking that even the Republicans will abandon him in a wholesale way.

Maybe that is what will change things. Maybe there's a breaking point for Trump that sends him into la-la land in an unrecoverable way. I suggest we and the media just keep applying that pressure and maybe even ramping it up.

I can hope, right? Maybe we'll get to see Trump's head finally 'splode in a gush of green goo.

That will surely send the Orange Pile of Shit over the edge that Russia helped him get elected.

She's great at getting under his skin, and letting him crack as the House creeps ever so slowly towards impeachment will eventually cause him to crack, rendering moot the question of whether the votes are there in either chamber.

and why she baits him. She wants him to act in such a way that even republicans cannot deny he's unfit.

Trump thinks the courts might save him from impeachment. It doesn’t work like that.
The president is profoundly confused about the Constitution.

snip...

Asked during a Q&A session with reporters whether he’s concerned about getting impeached, Trump said, “I can’t imagine the courts allowing it.”

“I’ve never gone into it — I never thought that would even be possible to be using that word,” he continued. “To me it’s a dirty word, the word ‘impeach.’ It’s a dirty, filthy, disgusting word.”


Let him stew through the summer, I say, then start the proceedings so they go into 2020.

7. During the 90's Trump went through a Howard Hughes period

This past April, when his empire was in danger of collapse, Trump isolated himself in a small apartment on a lower floor of Trump Tower. He would lie on his bed, staring at the ceiling, talking into the night on the telephone. The Trumps had separated. . . . . snip

For days, Trump rarely left his building. Hamburgers and French fries were sent up to him from the nearby New York Delicatessen. His body ballooned, his hair curled down his neck. “You remind me of Howard Hughes,” a friend told him. “Thanks,” Trump replied, “I admire him.” On the telephone he sounded ebullient, without a care, as confident as the image he projected in his lobby portrait.

I believe, however, that he always wears the Jumbo Size Depend diapers, so we wouldn't notice.

Only his staff will know. I wonder who is in charge of disposing of Trumps soiled didies, now that Hope Hicks is no longer on staff.

Andy Borowitz, the sage, believes he will do just that. I've been entertaining the idea, and actually think it could happen. Only, it's the scorched earth the ass leaves behind that scares me.
