I think what the legitimate news organizations call melt downs are planned. I am in the middle of Trump voters, every time he goes off on a reporter his base loves it. To them he is "Telling it like it is" it makes him look tough in their minds. That's how he keeps that 43% base then all he will have to do is con a couple more percent and win the EC.

2. What would unraveling look like with Trump?

Trump himself set the bar at "shooting someone on 5th Ave" and getting away with it. Trump has been mowing down the whole country and our democracy with a Russian AK 47 in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue for the past three years and his party hasn't done a thing. Hell, he could stand on the Resolute Desk and piss on the Constitution and his followers would cheer him on.

He literally gives me a migraine headache.

As a victim of a person with NPD anytime I see him or hear him it triggers me and I get a severe headache.

I am not joking.

He literally makes me ill. Not figuratively. But truly and literally.

I can't grab the remote fast enough to get him off my screen.

Your body is telling you to NOT ingest that poison.

I identify as I have elevated BP due to a long-standing anxiety disorder. Just hearing his god-awful voice will send my readings upwards.

Like you, he makes me literally physically ill. Hope you get some relief.

8. Trump's disjointed, meaningless and nonsensical hand gestures put me right over the edge.

For no apparent reason he starts moving his outstretched arms and tiny hands, palms open and facing forward, darting quickly from side-to-side, up and down, round and round, drawing circles and curves in the air as if to punctuate some idea he doesn't even understand. Drives me fucking nuts.
