Trump was frustrated by the Sunday shows today/felt people didn't defend him strongly enough on his Obama claim, per ppl close to him.

I would almost give up one of my ears to see him chew off his.







*my new name for Drumpf.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. He literally is a 12 yr old child, a very spoiled and mean 12 yr old child.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Thump or Drumpf?

[pangaia]

22. Thump..

[Lanius]

3. Yes he reminds me of my old boss

She was 60 years old but acted like she was a passive aggressive teenage girl. It's interesting how some people can get so far in life while lacking any emotional maturity.

[tblue37]

5. Lacking scruples, or shame, or anything resembling an ethical code is an advantage in a

social and business environment where anything goes and nothing matters but winning.

[FenwayDonkey]

4. He's losing his most important constituency...

He may think that as long as he has the support of the rubes who voted for him than he's OK, but the Republicans on Capitol Hill do not want to be forced to defend this crap on a daily basis. Most of them are fed up with trying to deflect and defend him.

Trump and the rest of the incompetent clowns that now run the Executive have ZERO political capital on The Hill or any institutional support in DC generally.

He's on his own.

8. I believe you're right... and welcome to DU.

[Lochloosa]

12. Welcome to DU FenwayDonkey

[FenwayDonkey]

16. Thank you both*

[Plucketeer]

23. Welcome from me as well.

Make yourself at home.

[Quixote1818]

18. They aren't going to want him in office for the midterms. nt

[regnaD kciN]

28. Disagree

He has "political capital" with Republicans as long as he is willing to sign the bills implementing their agenda.

[Dave Starsky]

30. Pence and Ryan will sign that shit just as happily.

They should have ditched the clown weeks ago when they had the chance. That's what everyone thought they would do anyway. But now they've got him wrapped tightly around their necks

[delisen]

6. At what point does Putin Try to Shut the Operation Down.Pull the Plug

Cut his losses.

The Resistance and the Investigation is creating some problems for him.


Sometimes bad publicity is actually bad publicity.

[regnaD kciN]

29. He won't

…because "pulling the plug" would mean dealing with Pence, who is emphatically not a Russia-supporter, and would probably institute a foreign policy toward him every bit the equal of HRC's.

Most likely, Pootie-Poot will stay with Mad King Donald until the very end -- and probably, in keeping with his own policies, urge MKD to implement "extra-Constitutional methods" to keep his grip on power if worst comes to worst.

[get the red out]

7. We have watched him melt before

Then he reads off a teleprompter and people think all is ok.

[KewlKat]

9. He's the great and powerful Oz, in his mind anyway, so all who work for him owe him bigly....they

must defend the illusion of the man behind the curtain. If they back down (Session's recusal) or don't push back hard enough (Spicey and other surrogates) then bye, see ya. Only those that have "paid" for the honor of an appointment "may" escape his rath.....we shall all see. Meantime, he destroys the country we here all love.

[frogmarch]

10. On either CNN or MSNBC

(I switch back and forth a lot) I heard that after a meeting with trump, some of his people left in tears.

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?

I am loving this.

[Blue_true]

19. Hopefully they were crying while thinking about how much they have fucked the

country by helping elect that pig.

[volstork]

24. No, they were probably

crying because they figure they will be going to jail.

[Stuart G]

11. Establishment Pukes will dump him...in a very subtle way,at first... when...

He embarrasses them, and makes them look bad, or unelectable due to their support for him...

Now, today, Comey has said the idea that Obama tapped into Trumps phones was ridiculous. Actually Comey put down Thump. And it will get worse as Thump gets worse. If the Thumper gets better, and quieter...then establishments will go back into hiding and shut up for a while. ..............

When the Thumper gets worse again, they will come out.. If he gets worse and worser, that he threatens them, and it is clear that he is threatening the entire country, that is when they will strike....

.At first, they will urge him to resign....if he will not,..(but I think at that point he will)...then they will impeach him..and vote him out....so fast, that most of us will not know what happened..............one last point....

It will get worse and worser, why?...He is nuts..and he gets mad, and can not shut up..why?..............
cause.........he is nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

13. Yeah, but he's not melting fast enough.

I don't think I can take 4 years of Trump.

He needs to be gone.

[hvn_nbr_2]

14. I think the real reason he's so angry the last few days...

is that his Get Out Of Jail Free card recused himself from keeping him out of jail.

[Brother Buzz]

21. That, or the PGA relocated its WGC event from Trump National Doral to Mexico City and is....

being held this weekend. He had wet dreams about driving all over HIS gold course in a golf cart and smirking at the cameras.

Hey, I'm just spitballing, here.

[Doitnow]

25. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

[Freethinker65]

15. The size of the pro-Trump rallies probably did not help his mood

[logosoco]

17. This fool needs to be gone on or before April 1. nt

[NewRedDawn]

20. I think what has

set him off is the reports on how Obama spread & preserved the intelligence against the Mother fucker & the coup plotters.

[guillaumeb]

26. How long will it take fro him to melt?

I would hate to be downstream of that pile of toxic waste.

[warmfeet]

27. 0. We are watching Thump* melt down right before our eyes.

Good riddance. Can't happen soon enough.
