Trump Volcanically Angry About Sketch Artist and Articles About Him Falling Sleep

snip//
According to Rolling Stone reporter Asawin Suebsaeng, Trump is convinced the courtroom sketch artist is "out to get him," complaining that some of the images the artist produced "were likely drawn to make fun of him."
"One such sketch captured Trump snoozing, with his eyes closed and head tilted," Suebsaeng wrote.
Suebsaeng also reports that Trump is "volcanically angry" about the various reports that emerged in which he was apparently sleeping intermittently during court proceedings. The New York Times' Maggie Haberman who provided much of the paper's coverage of Trump during his time in the White House reported earlier this week that he couldn't stay awake for the entirety of jury selection several days this week.
Rolling Stone reported that, according to one unnamed source, the former president's anger is "maxed out, even for him." Suebsaeng wrote that Haberman's report provoked "an irate denial from Trumps campaign and reigniting the former presidents antipathy towards Haberman."
"The resentment lasted the entire week, the sources add. It did not help Trumps denial that he continued to doze off while seated in the Manhattan courtroom throughout the rest of the week," Suebsaeng wrote. "Despite his dozing being widely reported, the former president has laid much of the blame for the detail going viral at Habermans feet. He was even observed glaring at her on Monday as he exited the courtroom following her CNN appearance."

Yep works for me too.
I just hope he doesn't increase his violence level.

(809 posts)One good thing (!) about Trump is that he is not a gun nut. He does not own guns. If he did the last 400 school shootings would be like a Sunday school picnic.
The rage and violence of the magas is another thing.
Farmer-Rick
(10,391 posts)If he's pretty sure the other person is weaker and he can get away with it.
He's not likely to attack a grown man his own size but a smaller man, boy, child, woman are likely targets if no one is looking.

And he manipulates others to do his violent bidding.
Trump is dangerous.

(70,897 posts)The mother fucker is in a large way responsible for the 14 million C-19 deaths worldwide. Real #s. 8 million diagnosed
deaths, ? #s died w/out being diagnosed, and @ least 1/2 to 1 million dead because they couldnt get medical care because
it was tied up treating C-19 cases. Trump is a murderer on a massive scale. No need for a global pandemic task force,
the epidemiologist on the ground in Wahaun, the stock piles of PPE we had that Kushner sent to China (he and Donny
owed them money), a COVID test kit that worked, or just the truth.

It would be a hoot to see djt on hallucinogens or LSD. He would act out in ways unimaginable.
NanaCat
(2,332 posts)It's a stimulant and enhancer drug. If you're happy when you take it, it makes you happier. If you're nervous and paranoid when you take it, it makes you more nervous and paranoid. If you're angry, it makes you angrier.
At a certain point of coke usage, paranoia and volcanic anger become the addict's default setting. Violence is never far behind then.
Cocaine destroyed a man I once loved. It was reaching the perpetual paranoid and angry stage that made me cut my losses and move on. Watching that downward spiral forming and fomenting, up close and personal, and havingno power at all to change it, was as horrifying to behold as it was to endure.

Like some other DUers, I wonder when in the hell will he stroke out? As someone pointed out too, he is always angry.
Why in the hell does anyone want such a prick for a leader? (Pardon the language, but I am getting sick and tired of this moron).

PatSeg
(48,401 posts)My first reaction to the headline of this post was, "Don't you dare stroke out yet!" We need to see justice done and a landslide election for Biden and Democrats.
IbogaProject
(2,944 posts)I've hated him since the 1980's but that mocking of the disabled reporter focused my I'll will on wanting him to have a severe speech impediment. Both to neuter him but to leave him trapped as is slips into irrevelance.
PatSeg
(48,401 posts)I don't wish him to die as some do, because I feel he has a huge karmic debt to pay and I would like to be witness to that. As I often say, may he get everything he deserves. I usually say 100 fold, but "everything he deserves" would be more than enough.
He is truly a horrible human being.

(26,477 posts)After all that risk of getting that one increases with age and it might explain his problems speaking for the last few years since it's apparently a slow growing cancer.
If that is what it is then we really don't need a person that could potentially order the launch of nuclear weapons because he's just pissed off.
RandomNumbers
(17,726 posts)TSF has shown propensity to do stupid shit often enough, he should be no where near the nuclear codes.
Of course, we knew that here in 2016. Well, most of us did, anyway.

Trump will go down in history as not only the first former president to go to prison for his crimes, but the first to be tackled by NFL defenders to keep him from overturning tables and throwing furniture.

(14,642 posts)in prison, it does provoke some compassion watching his pride being assailed on all sides as his world folds in around him.
I had a counseling professor in grad school who told us that people who have personality disorders (and I believe it is well established that Trump has narcissistic personality disorder) have what she called 'bent frames.' They cannot be cured, but there is some hope through medication.
Trump is on a long and painful slide to obscurity and eventual imprisonment, if he lives that long due to poor health. No adderoll, no one to clean up after accidents, no real significance except the basic significance we all share as human beings.
He has made poor choices his whole life, and my hope is that he may learn the spirit lessons he needs to learn from the suffering he is enduring now and will endure throughout the rest of his life. The Buddhists tell us that patiently enduring such suffering with the question, "What can I learn from this?" is the way we can incinerate our defilements. That is such a nice term.
The problem is he is so utterly defiled he may take many lifetimes to cleanse the stains on his spirit.
But, it will be good for the rest of us when he is finally convicted and jailed, because compassion aside, the man in very, very dangerous.
