The Bullshit Has Only Just Started

[NanceGreggs]

Donald Trump is not a well man – physically, mentally, or emotionally. Right now, he is more frightened than he’s ever been in his gold-plated life.

As a result of that fear building with every passing day, we should fully expect to hear more and more bizarre pronouncements, threats, all-caps TWEETS!!!, along with a rapid decline in physical agility and mental acuity.

The man is scared shitless. Losing re-election means having to face pending criminal charges that could lead to prison time. It means leaving the WH as A LOSER!, forever to be known as a failure. In addition, he has no life ‘to go back to’: his brand is toxic, his name is toxic, and whatever reputation he once had as a brilliant businessman is gone.

I, for one, will not be surprised if the Dotard suffers a complete breakdown before the election – physically, mentally and emotionally. The pressure he is currently living under would test the strength of a healthy man or woman – and we all know that Donald is not ‘healthy’ by any measure.

So prepare yourselves for declarations that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are hereby outlawed, pronouncements about a vaccine that cures windmill cancer, and executive orders that prohibit the use of vowels in the English language, and establish that the entire US is now on Russian standard time.

The man is like a fallen tree in an un-raked forest – he’s dry, he’s brittle, and he’s ready to explode.

1. A kick n/t

[Sogo]

2. Well said!

[lunatica]

3. LOL!

[Pachamama]

4. Imagine the worst possible thing that Trump might do...and then realize that is not even his bottom

This was said by someone months ago by someone who has known him for decades...

Believe it....

[uriel1972]

5. I just had the grotesque image

of Trumplestiltskin's bottom. Rabid dog nuts is hr.

[Pachamama]

7. I appreciate your humor on the statement and reference to his "bottom" - Ick..

But you know on a serious note I was referring to the lowest threshold of what we think he could do and then realize he can and will go lower...

[uriel1972]

8. I know, I know..

Which is why I called him rabid dog crazy, there is nothing internally to stop him from anything

[Sugarcoated]

6. Penn Jillette

in an interview before the 2016 election

[Pachamama]

9. Penn Gillette may have said that 4 years ago - but this was in recent months and a former friend

As I try to remember who, I believe it was Donny Deutsch on Morning Joe....

Yesterday Donny Deutsch was practically shaking and stating to Jews to recognize what is happening and to not stand by idly watching - to call what Trump is doing exactly what it is: the same dangerous things that Hitler once did.

He said it...he was also scared as he stated it....I could see it in his eyes...

I agree with him and by the way - so do the majority of Germans...

[machoneman]

34. Maybe start a war?

[yaesu]

10. he's doing what he has always done when he is cornered, bluffing, making threats

that is how he survived his failed businesses, what he calls the art of the deal, hell, he even got out of paying back a 100 mil+ loan doing it. He had lawyers doing his dirty work, now he has the fascist party backing him.

[speaknow]

11. That POS has

been sick for a very long time!

[uriel1972]

12. From birth or even before that..,

from conception. I'm only am "Armchair Psychiatrist", but he screams out 'Narcissistic Psychopath' to me.

[wnylib]

29. From birth - There was a book

published during the 2016 campaign by 2 Wapo journalists. Sorry I don't recall the title or their names.

They told about a neighbor of the Trump family that they interviewed who said she found Donald in her yard, leaning over her baby's playpen, with a brick poised to throw at the infant. Donny was 5 years old.

[smirkymonkey]

13. The worst thing about it all is that he has never been more dangerous.

He is like a cornered, wild, rabid animal. He will do anything to anything to claw his way out of this situation. Personally, I think specimens like this should just be put down, but I guess there are laws about that.

As you have suggested, it's an explosive situation and we should be ready for anything to happen. And I mean anything. With him you just never know what he might do for attention or out of revenge. Personally, I am holding my breath right now.

[NanceGreggs]

16. Cornered animals ...

... act out of fear. They become more aggressive, more determined to defend themselves.

But their behaviour doesn't change the fact that they've been cornered.

[Pluvious]

19. Charles Manson crawled under a house

Saddam crawled into a bolt hole

The list goes on

[xxqqqzme]

14. And he is surrounded by

sycophants scared they are going to lose power. God, only knows what they're whispering in his paranoid pea brain.

AND there is King con's personal ghost of his father and the endless mocking echo of LOSER

[uriel1972]

15. if the situation wasn't so dangerous

I might pity him and his cronies for the way they can never be at peace with themselves.

However, it is, so I'm not giving a rat's toss about them.

[NanceGreggs]

17. His 'advisors' are telling grandpa ...

... that he's not being sent to an old age home, at the same time they're emptying his house and selling his furniture on Ebay.

The Dotard is too stupid to realize that trying to get a SCOTUS nominee confirmed before the November election is a sure sign that his party knows they have to act now, because they will soon lose the power to do so.

[Pluvious]

18. That was very cathartic, thank you n/t

[Hiawatha Pete]

20. "in an un-raked forest" ... Love it!

Brilliant takedown of one of Dunning-Kruger-Donnie's driveling, pathetic attempts to insult Democratic Governors & States.

[WiffenPoof]

21. Well Written Nancy

Your are such a good wordsmith. I write a little myself and I wish I had your ability to think ahead and tie things together.

You are part of the reason I come to DU.

[C Moon]

22. One thing nobody is mentioning is a wag the dog war in Oct.

Great post, BTW!!

[ScratchCat]

24. Yeh, I commented last week that Pompeo

Essentially showed his hand when he claimed the US was going to do "everything in its power" to enforce the old sanctions against Iran even against the warnings from the UN. They are going to bomb Iran and then Trump will be tweeting for weeks nonsense like "Its treason to vote against a sitting President in a time of war..." etc...

[C Moon]

25. Plus, for some reason, voters like to vote for a president who is at war--regardless.

I've been expecting this for months. I'm beginning to think they can't make it happen. Fingers crossed.

[Mr.Bill]

26. I'm sure Trump has heard these words many times from the Pentagon:

"I'm sorry, sir, but we are not going to do that."

Personally, I think and hope Trump commits suicide before election day.

[C Moon]

28. Yes, he must be heavily drugged by now.

[Illumination]

23. You have a knack for writing Nance. Especially about the DICKtatorTOT wanna be! OK will brace

myself & hope for the best in a nightmarish situation!...

[Gore1FL]

27. I love your last line! nt

[Xipe Totec]

30. As dry and brittle as fatwood nt

[The Wizard]

31. All of what you say is true,

But his cult could see him on live TV exposing himself in a schoolyard at recess while handing out guns and crack, and they'd see that as Trump "getting things done."

[NanceGreggs]

32. Who cares what his cult thinks?

There aren't enough of them to keep him in office.

[The Wizard]

33. I know

I just like posting that as it's something people can envision.

[not_the_one]

35. I think it will be a well planned, totally choreographed "breakdown".

He has always had an escape plan. He knew he couldn't stir up all this shit and have ANY kind of life here in the good 'ol US of A, afterwards.

It was all about his brand... until Pootie Poot started whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Then he actually believed he become the American equivalent of a russian oligarch. I am sure Pootie encouraged him, opening his wallet, KNOWING the chaos he would cause.

But that is just my opinion. I did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. And I do not have a prescient bone in my body. But I CAN speculate wildly, with the best of them.

[nebby70]

36. as usual..

..NanceGreggs cuts to the chase and makes it easier to face the day knowing there are sane folks out there
