look as he left the room. Nothing to say changes the facts of the situation. Trump knew that theelection made a fool of him. He must have thought he had a good chance to win, so he believed his own
lies. That was ..."the look." It is a classic fool's look. The facts could not change the lies & Donald
Trump knew that. As Porky Pig says,..... "That's all folks."

(38,419 posts)facts as they are..But, Trump may not listen, and may do something very bad. Perhaps he can
take a long vacation, play golf, and eat some burgers or whatever. Hawaii is nice this time of year.
So, are parts of Florida. He could take a long cruise, or do some exercise. Trump cannot change the
past, no one can.

(1,602 posts)That's not in Trump's mental vocabulary. He can never, ever blame himself for his failures, so he has to blame everyone else. However, it is very likely that the consequences of what has transpired are just beginning to dawn on him, that he has no one else he can turn to in order to rescue him. Even when he was defeated in the past in some endeavor, he was always able to walk away, leaving someone else holding the bag, or protected by lawyers and his personal army of thugs. Now ... he's facing his inner self, and that inner self is a terrified boy who never grew up.
Hillary Clinton took her defeat hard, but she also internalized it. She spent a lot of time in private, walking alone in the woods of upstate New York, thinking about where she was and how she would move forward. It's hard to see Donald Trump do anything but implode, a swollen red star collapsing into a black hole.
