20. That makes sense.

We’re seeing deep-down into the way trump has done business all these years. Sketchy at best. Downright criminal at worst.

This is how he did business all these years. And he either bullied, sued, bribed, threatened, delayed, distracted, or swindled his way out every time. And it’s worked. Well enough to get him out of trouble.

Til now.

Just my opinion here, but I think he’s coming unspooled in public, and on camera in the last few days (especially TODAY at that news conference with the Finnish President). And I think it’s because he feels trapped. He senses the heat’s really turning up. AND he’s starting to realize that his usual tricks aren’t working anymore. The press is ONTO him. And he’s totally knocked off his game.

He doesn’t know what to do now. He’ll fall back on the insults and the name-calling and the lies. But it’s not working anymore like his usual bag o’ tricks does. Probably because, by now, enough of the public has seen enough.
