4. It's not just his loss in the popular vote

it's everything that has come out since the election. Everything that has happened has served to undermine his legitimacy and also cut into his popular support. He's now viewed favorably by only 37% of Americans. That means that in all likelihood even his many who voted for him are experiencing deep buyers remorse. Most Americans simply go to sleep politically after an election. Mostly they pay attention to the bread and circuses. Most president elects would lay low until inauguration. But Trump has been trying to "bask" in his lost glory and assert himself on the domestic and world stage. He's been in the news every single day. But none of it has improved his image or cemented him as a real president. Given the thing that he most craves -- fawning adulation -- it's got to be tearing him apart inside. Remember he is not an ordinary human being with an ordinary healthy psyche. He's sick fuck. He suffers from severe narcissistic personality disorder.

Plus, I ASSUME that the WORST is true about him and Russia. He knows its true. He feels cornered. He's afraid of losing it all, ending up not adored but despised, impeached, removed from office perhaps in prison.

We're in for dark days, cause he is going to fight back, like a cornered animal, with all the powers that will soon be at his disposal.
