Re: Trump is losing control of himself

tRump actually believed the rhetoric he spouted during his campaign; he could end the Ukraine and the Gaza wars the first day, bring down fuel and food prices, tariffs will be beneficial to all, immigrant deportations will target criminals, and the US borders will be sealed preventing illegal entry of immigrants and drugs.

I believe tRump is starting to realize that the rest of the world has always considered him to be a joke, a narcissistic bully of low intelligence. Countries can easily manipulate him with flattery and promises of business deals.

Now that a portion of the MAGAt following is starting to see that they’ve been conned, tRump is backed into a corner and freaking out. As his niece has reiterated many times, once he feels threatened, he will lash out and hurt everyone around him. His actions will only get more erratic and insane…..I shudder to think to what extremes his constituents will accept before saying ENOUGH!

2. I don't think he was serious about doing many of those things during the campaign.

He said whatever he needed to say to get elected. He is an unserious president. All he cares about is the perks of being POTUS, being in the limelight, and grifting. Oh and revenge/cruelty.

5. Absolutely. Reminds me of his lies around Trump Tower to rent to more wealthy people.

He started the rumor that Princess Dianna had rented an apartment and was preparing to move in.

That lie, of course, enticed some status-conscious new renters who wanted to live where the Princess lived.

He is a conman, pure and simple. He preys on the simple-minded and the greedy. He will say whatever it takes to get what he wants.

We all knew we was a snake when we put him in the White House. But many of us did not care, or, even worse, many of us think a snake is exactly who we need running things.

4. The destruction of small boats, killing the people onboard, is a good example of how unhinged and desperate he is.

He'll bring down as many people he can with him.
