Rep Krishnamoorthi: A startling reminder, if you need one, of the type of person President Trump is.



Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja

A startling reminder, if you need one, of the type of person President Trump is.

Alli Hedges Maser @AllisonLHedges

New details from @maggieNYT on what Trump was doing during the riot: "He was pleased... He knew what was happening... He just didn't want to do anything."

Says only thing that snapped him out of it was being told he would face legal exposure based on what he said at the rally.

One of the only ways to control a psycho is to control their money. It's not due to them loving money, but, they crave the attention and power over people money brings with it.

Trump is very much like Hermann Goering in wanting to always good or bad, be the center of all attention, all the time.

Trump is broke and has been for some time. This single reason is why he's terrified right now of losing the Presidency. His farce was coming to an end and he'd found a way to extend it a little longer. Until he was gone anyway. Which is all he cares about. Himself.

I think that was happening as they watched the terrorist attack and ransack the Capitol and murder a Capitol Police Officer.

So, if you're going to post a video and claim it's the Trumps celebrating while the riot is going on, you will want to make sure that's what the video actually shows. If such a video does exists, it definitely should go viral.

trump needs his death porn.

The higher a death toll is, the giddier he gets.

Maria caused over 2,000 deaths in Puerto Rico, trump threw out paper towels like he was a cheerleader at a ball game.

Trump is a complete sociopath, among other likely disorders. He's made it abundantly clear. Of course, he didn't care what happened to anyone trapped in the building. He's not capable of it. Certain things seem to 'squick' him and he's demonstrated being a coward when it comes to personal physical violence, but that's a long way from feeling empathy and compassion.
