But I suspect he's really decompensating now because he knows, somewhere in the recesses of his primitive brain-stem, that the Dems taking the House is going to mess a lot of things up for him, very bigly. He can't kill the ACA or Medicare or Social Security; he won't get money for the Wall; there will be investigations; and worst of all, he senses that there are a lot of people who don't like him. At all.

but when he gets angry on top of it it is time to look out. I wonder if this lasts or gets worse? I was gone so I am just catching up. I really think he is unstable enough to watch closely, they need to pay strong attention to this. He is ill. Other than that, someone needs to tell him he does not get to ruin people by calling them names and being an asshole. Who does he think he is?

if trump reacting badly to the House going blue wasn't predictable then neither is the prediction that the sun will rise tomorrow.

He is a calculating CON MAN. He's gaslighting the media, working the refs, whatever you want to call it. Ignorant, yes. But NOT insane, and NOT stupid.

He just started his re-election campaign and you all saw the theme. There will be blood in the streets before Election Day 2020.

invading Crimea, but he didn't blame Putin.

Then later he attacked a black female reporter for asking him what "nationalism meant to him, how was it perceived by voters, etc. He got really ugly with her, accused her of insulting him, and called her racist.

He is really whacked.

He is full blown off the rails! His true character is in full view right now. This is going to get really scary and fast! Fasten your seat belts!
