CIA Director Gina Haspel: Trump's Behavior After Election Loss Was 'Insanity'
Trump's former CIA director said the baby man had a break down and acted out like a "6-year-old with a tantrum."
By John Amato


In Bob Woodward's new book Peril, it was revealed that Trump's former CIA director Gina Haspel discussed the treasonous ex-president's mental state after he lost the election on November 10.

Business Insider reports Haskell said,"We are on the way to a right-wing coup. The whole thing is insanity. He is acting out like a six-year-old with a tantrum."


She made these remarks to General Mark Milley after Trump fired his Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on November 9.

Gen. Milley comes off as a true patriot to the Constitution and not a Trump puppet like, for instance, Richard Grenell. Milley said, "we're going to be steady - -we're going to keep our eye on the horizon. Keep alert to any risks, dangers. Keep the channels open."

Traitor Trump is still acting like a six year-old out of office.

He’s most definitely trying to make things worse. I hope the rest of his days are fraught with the chaos and strife he attempted to inflict on everyone else.

Hardcore RW and little ethics. Yet, both Cheney and Gaspel have done the right thing re: Trump. Interesting.

Had enough Republicans supported the first impeachment to oust him, he would have displayed the same behavior. That's who he is.

when Trump's minions threatened their lives for not continuously saying nice things about him no matter how nutty he became. I thought maybe that would snap some of them out of the lazy, false equivalence world they live in. Maybe they would see that in many things, there aren't two rational sides. There's reality and then theirs crazy irrational. But alas, that is not the case.

He also says that Rudy and Chump fed each other's crazy/outrage bubble while the somewhat "normal" West Wing staffers were off doing other things. Some were sick with Covid, some were out looking for other jobs, some were just disgusted and tired of the whole mess.

The ones who actively opposed Chump's crazy plan, well, they got fired and replaced by loyal ChumpHumpers.

The January 6th plan got formulated and morphed into action when Rudy and Chump met no opposition from anybody - once Bill Barr was gone.

Outsiders knew he was an insane fascist? Check.

Here we are, 10 months on from the election, 8 months since the uprising. And where is the insane fascist?

A free man, spewing his insane fascism from his palace.

Nice job USA.
