Why Trump is hiding from the American people

I think, that for the first time in the man's life, he is deeply embarrassed for being openly and soundly defeated, he can't cover it up, he can't bully his way or sue his way out of it and he is humiliated that he was a sucker and is a loser. The only solace I can offer him is that it "builds character."

Trump's a con-man who believes his own bullshit. I don't think its hard for him to convince himself whatever he wants. My completely subjective untrained psychoanalysis is that he basically constructs his own reality and the outside world rarely encroaches. I think he thinks he was cheated because he has no concept of objective truth. The truth to Trump is just what he wants.

Screw him. He's screwed us with his constant lying. Everything is catching up with him now. I have to say I am thrilled he is going thru his tantrums. It shows his true character. Go get him New York DAs.

Twitter will surely cancel his account on Jan 20th... and his megaphone will be taken from him, thus creating even more angst and consternation.

so perhaps we can reopen Alcatraz for trump.

The place is big enough to even have a miniature golf course and a driving range.

And the Park Service can continue the tours, with a caged ex-President as the main attraction.

I’d much rather see him brought to justice just as soon as humanly possible. Allowing him to conveniently jump ship and head for a more hospitable place to live out his days in luxury is tantamount to looking the other way as he avoids justice. It is just not right to allow the biggest traitor, biggest fraud to ever be inflicted on this country to escape from what’s coming to him. It will further diminish what’s left of our justice system.

So, no! Do not allow him to slip off into the night. Confront him, arrest him and charge him as he would be if he was any other citizens who in this country who broke multiple laws and smashed our norms to smithereens. If we don’t, we will confirm for all the citizens that our justice system is two faced and has one way for us mere mortals and another for the privileged. It will announce to the world that the USA is a fraud and does not honor its laws, its constitution nor its people.

We must bring justice to Donald J. Trump to restore confidence to the citizens and to bring back our standing as a nation with laws and that we are all equal under our system of justice.

Biden's suggested high road concerning not going after Trump for Federal crimes is the kind of mature behavior that led me to vote for the man. The best way to destroy Trump is for Biden to promise to pardon him.

Let New York prosecute him, jail him as a common criminal, not a persecuted former president, unless, of course, your goal is to return the entire government to the Republican Fascists in four years. If we sow the wind, we will reap the whirlwind.

While his crimes committed in his role as a presidential candidate and as POTUS are obvious, he committed many more prior to his term in office. I am specifically referring to his NY state crimes that, if convicted, could put him behind bars in a regular prison for the rest of his miserable life. Let’s start with his earliest crimes which date back decades and need to be dealt with. I want to see him in an orange jumpsuit in a typical lock up situation, although I know that is unlikely, given WHO he is. But just put him in a plain cell with no frills, no privileges.

And while we’re at it, let’s get his kids in front of a jury. They are just as guilty as their old man.

A tweet thread take on how narcissists behave in defeat. They crawl under a couch like a scolded dog. Then they formulate a fable they can tell themselves. His guess is

T will start his pitch for news channel that competes w Faux.
He will say hes going to run in 2024. Hes already said this we know.
They have to see what formulated story will stick. Because they have to @ all cost rebuild their ego.
Theres more, he's usually so interesting to read regarding the hypothesis, with narcissism.
