to make a little sarcastic statement on her own. It seems to fit with her true character. Or else someone put her up to it. They can't really be THAT tone deaf, could they?

a 70+ year old grifter who has never known an honest days work in his life, never been held responsible for anything he's ever done, has sued, lied and cheated his way through countless bankruptcies and failed business ventures, is about to be held responsible for the very first time. What is happening in drumpf's mind would be the equivalent of someone raised in a cave stepping out and seeing the sun for the very first time. it is a reality that not only could that person not understand, they literally cannot comprehend it. There is no frame of reference in drumpf's entire existence to comprehend what responsibility is or means.

so he is left with nothing but trying to rationalize what is going on around him and lashing out that those that have failed him, because it can't possibly be HIS fault that the election is turning against him.

Huge legal problems, a billion in personal debt coming due, business/properties losing money, being a social pariah, maybe even an orange jumpsuit—payback for past bad actions, a lot of years of bad actions.

I can't imagine the wife hanging around for all of that either. She'll want her pre-nup from his broke ass.

she's in this for money, power, and the ability to openly and proudly she does not care about the suffering of her fellow persons. In other words... drumpf will no longer be able to provide her the life if greed and cruelty that she loves.

She's gone.

The whole campaign has got to be composed of a toxic mess of grifters, sycophantic true believers, and people who manage to be both at the same time.

Trump and his spawn aren't going to be the only ones siphoning off campaign money into lavish purchases and private bank accounts. There are going to be plenty of Brad Parscales in the mix.

For many in this campaign, it's all about feeding at the trough for as long as they can make this game last. They're only motivated to help Trump win to the extent that might mean the gravy train keeps on going, but they'll happily settle for grabbing all they can while they can.

And they simply are just proving how incompetent they truly are, by the infighting for all to see, when in reality, there is only one reason and one reason only why they failed so miserably...trump.

Of course their mouthy and ignorant trump supporters didn't help by being so repellent and disgusting either, in their treatment of their fellow Americans, proving to all that they don't care one whit about anybody else but themselves and that they alone, know it all.

Idiots are going to have their a&& handed to them on a platter (and believe me, I do have a couple of trump loving friends that have enjoyed rubbing it into my face over the last four years, despite being told that trump is NOT the source of the economic boom that this Country has enjoyed).

I am going to enjoy rubbing it back into their faces after these two have thrown trump and all things trump into my face, blatantly and consciously into my face (well, one of them deliberately), for the last four years.

Sure they say go HIGH, not low, but no.

But after these two friends consciously and deliberately threw trump into my face, despite the sheer volume and evidence of trump's gross incompetence, well, all bets are off, and my 'nice' genes have suffered enough.

And ironies of ironies, the vast majority of people under TRUMP have not enjoyed economic prosperity, only the top tier of income earners (the 1%ers and donors to the republican party only). It's amazing that the wealthy in this Country haven't really said anything, other than letting us (us normal people) fight among ourselves while they are pocketing an obscene amount of money w/o literally paying any taxes on it. Mind you, it's not all wealthy people but it's enough to make a person wonder if this people really do care about the Country or not.

... and campaign is the only thing he did for four years except to help the rich, traumatize families at the border and pollute. He announced for reelection on inaugural day and he wasn't kidding. He did nothing but run for office for 4 years, and he sucked at that too.
