We reported yesterday that some people close to Trump believe he is in denial about the gravity of the situation he’s facing, not believing he’ll really be impeached. Only hearing more echo that today.

1. Of course he thinks he can worm his way out of it.

He's insane.

[RAB910]

5. He wormed his way out of his Russian Collusion

so there is precident

[Leghorn21]

2. Hey now, all you "people close to Trump"

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REMAINDER OF YOUR LIVES, IDIOTS!!

[redstatebluegirl]

10. Everyone in the White House, even the cleaning staff have to lawyer up because of this toad.

I agree how stupid are you to work for this toad.

[Moostache]

30. Anyone close to Trump...

PLEASE start jump scaring him constantly...
Jump around corners...
Hide in the curtains and then scream...
Sneak up on him and make ghost noises....

ANYTHING that *MIGHT* make him have a heart attack and die or at least stroke out and incapacitate him.

[malaise]

3. Well he does have a way out

He can jump from the Con Tower or anywhere else.

[sheshe2]

28. You bad.

[malaise]

32. You know that

[NewJeffCT]

4. good

let him think this is just another Comey Firing or Flynn Firing that goes away in a day or two

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Trump knows the walls are closing in,

and he is trying to figure out how he might escape justice with some kind of a deal where by he gets to keep his accumulated wealth as well as a get out of jail free card(amnesty). He in his very confused mind,knows the real story. His past is his path forward. He will leave if he does not have to face any legal Jeopardy.

[eleny]

7. Will he even show up for his trial?

[Hortensis]

9. Guessing it's highly unlikely. The senate sets the rules of procedure,

and maybe the house, I don't remember; but why would the Republicans put him on show for that when he could be touring the border, meeting with NATO, attending rallies of near-hysterically supportive Republicans, or whatever?

Certainly we know they won't be allowing him to take the stand!

[eleny]

11. I'm sure he'd rather be tweeting from his golden john

[Hortensis]

8. Trump's not the only one. It's possible he'll continue

through the impeachment investigation and trial with no more than wild swings between terror and arrogance, then upon Repubs finding inadequate reason to remove him from office, go on a round of self-congratulatory rallies, where crowds will happily scream to hang the Nazi spy Democrats.

Worst case, yes, and maybe a few underlings will take a fall -- or not, but it's hardly impossible. And regardless of who wins this round in the enormous battle for power, the elections, which both sides MUST win, will be looming.

12. In other news, water is wet.

[Flaleftist]

13. Well, he is a fucking moron. nt

[SeattleVet]

14. He's been in denial about gravity for a while...

but gravity always wins!

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. Gravity: It's not just a good idea, it's the law. nt

[SeattleVet]

25. Yeah - and we all know how well he follows laws!

You matter.

(Unless accelerated to the speed of light squared - then you energy!)

[mercuryblues]

27. Don't trust atoms either

Just like trump, they make up everything.

[Mr. Ected]

15. Someone may have already mentioned to him that McConnell does not have to initiate a trial

And Trump knows that the end of the road will not be a rocky one for him.

He also knows that the 2016 election was thrown and 2020's will be as well, so he's not in any peril of his acts working against him in a national election.

Yes, I'm cynical, but after waiting 2 years for the Mueller Report only to find out it failed to launch, I'm not holding my breath.

[SeattleVet]

26. McConnell also doesn't have to have a roll-call vote...

so Flake's '35 senators' could go ahead and vote their conscience in an attempt to save what is left of the GOP.


Yeah, right - that will happen.

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Benedict Donald is pulling his George Costanza routine.

“What?! You thought I was serious? I didn’t betray my country.”

[Generic Brad]

24. He'll just keep showing up to work after he's fired

Classic Costanza.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. You don't have to be close to him

to see that he's clearly in denial about what's going on. Or maybe it's that those close to him have finally started seeing him clearly.

[octoberlib]

18. Trump's always gotten out of everything. So, not surprising. He thinks he'll be able

to skate through this like the Mueller Report but he won't.

[Blue Owl]

19. Nobody takes Donny's tiddly winks

Why just think of the tantrum he'd throw...

[Skittles]

20. the man has never been held accountable IN HIS LIFE

of course he is in denial

[Cha]

21. Of course.. trump lives in an alternative

facts universe where he's king shit and can do no wrong.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Narcissism demands a rather thick layer of denial of reality...

Trump will always think he can survive any situation.

[ffr]

29. Tuck Frump! I don't really care about his feelings or his children's feelings. BETRAYAL!

That's all I can think of. Greed too.

Oh, don't get me started!

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. His massive ego won't let him believe it.

[KG]

33. guarantee he has no earthly idea the shitstorm he's conjured
