Trump Attacks Republicans, Telling Them to "Be Quiet" If They Don't Support Him

[Doctor Jack]

It would appear that Trump's narcissism is reaching nuclear meltdown levels. He seems to be firing wildly at friends and foe alike. Any criticism, real or imagined, is being met with unhinged attacks, whether it is from democrats, republicans, the press, foreign leaders, puppies, dead Prussian kings, people that haven't been born yet....

Without hyperbole this man seriously needs a psychiatric evaluation. There is something very wrong with his mental state. I have never witnessed such severe narcissism and paranoia before.

3. Ahhh, but the strawberries...

That's where Trumpie had them.

[SirBrockington]

9. Classic

[RogerM]

4. LMAO

This will be fun

[applegrove]

5. Seems using twitter and running for president has upped his narcissism. Being criticized has upped

his paranoia. He does not have the temperment to be President.

[One Black Sheep]

6. lol, Trump is in full Emperor Mode.

Trump has the biggest ego in the world. "Be quiet!"...

[Doctor Jack]

8. He was expecting people to bow down to him

When that didn't happen, it broke is already very fragile psyche

[Iggo]

54. He was expecting to be out of the race by last Xmas.

His ego fucked him over.

[1StrongBlackMan]

7. No doubt about it ...

“A lot of people thought I should do that anyway,” he said. “But I’ll just do it very nicely by myself. I think you’re gonna have a very good result. I think we’ll be very happy. I’ll run as a Republican.”

Should the republicans attempt to push him out in Cleveland ... he's going to mount a 3rd-party run, running as a republican. And, I'm not sure if his goal will be to win the presidency, or burn down the republican party.

[SirBrockington]

10. " he's going to mount a 3rd-party run, running as a republican"

rofl

[1StrongBlackMan]

13. Yeah ... I found that humorous, too ...

But that statement makes me think he's going to be about burning down the republican house.

And, I'm good with that!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

49. His goal was (maybe still is) to increase name recognition for his brand. It's his entire business

Selling his brand is just about all the business he has now.

Steaks, vodka (profits promised to charity, never delivered), wine, etc. He sells his name to suckers to put on buildings that he hasn't built. His property management company mismanages them.

He thinks "there is no such thing as bad publicity", but his brand is rapidly becoming toxic. As if his base abandoning Target over restroom issues is going to buy enough steaks to keep his plane flying.

[meow2u3]

11. Who the hell does the Yammering Yam think he is?

Emperor?

[Doctor Jack]

12. They should listen to him or he might throw another tantrum

[meow2u3]

14. Repukes need to put him in timeout nt

[niyad]

34. no, he KNOWS he is god!

[IronLionZion]

15. Aww poor baby

And by all means, keep doing it and see how badly he melts down.

[Doctor Jack]

16. Imagine what it would be like working for Trump

[IronLionZion]

17. Think about what sort of people work for him

they are the worst run campaign full of abusers and incompetent fools who can't answer basic questions about his platform or policies. Normal people just won't work with him.

[Grassy Knoll]

37. OMG!!!

[Monk06]

61. Trump has responded the same way throughout his so called career It's standard corporate/media

brush off

It's like the old gag about hypnotizing chickens If you repeat something often enough people will accept it as an answer

Like I said on another thread This is Trump's modus operandi regarding press releases which is why I think he'll manufacture some reason not to debate Hillary

Insults and non answers will get him nowhere in a debate and Hillary will wind him up so bad he'll be spitting into the microphone

[IronLionZion]

65. Trump doesn't have the GOP machine backing him

you know their party has lots of experienced professionals who could run his campaign better but they apparently don't want their careers tarnished by association. The GOP knows he's going to lose big.

[Monk06]

78. That and they know Trump will not listen or be contracicted in any way He's a sandbox bully

[3catwoman3]

79. Thinking on her feet, so to speak, is...

not her forte. Not even thinking on her seat.

Whatever she is being paid, it is too much.

[demigoddess]

18. Trump's narcissism is reaching nuclear meltdown levels

yes, yes, it is about time for a real nuclear meltdown. I just hope it is on live tv for the whole country.

[Doctor Jack]

21. I WANNA BE PRESIDENT! DAD BUY IT FOR ME! ITS MINE!

[Moostache]

60. Too bad that she went to the "bad eggs"...

Trumps' favorite movie character...little known fact!

[AwakeAtLast]

62. OMG! That's exactly who I thought of!

Trump and Verruca were separated at birth. Wait, have we actually ever seen them together in the same room? Hmmmmmm?

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Looks like they're obeying him.

“Our leaders have to get a lot tougher, and be quiet. Just please be quiet,” Trump told his supporters. “Don’t talk. Please, be quiet. Just be quiet, to the leaders, because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter, and we have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself.”

They're doing just that, the be quiet part, that is, not the tough, sharp, smart part;

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told POLITICO on Tuesday, “I’m not going to be commenting on the presidential candidates today” — a statement that comes after recent condemnations of Trump’s attack on an American judge over his Mexican heritage and his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn on Tuesday went a step further than McConnell, telling POLITICO he will no longer talk about Trump until after Nov. 8.

This is the Republican "leadership."

[Doctor Jack]

20. McConnell's comments were from yesterday

Trump said this today about obeying him. McConnell was saying he isn't going to try to defend trump after his train wreck of a speech on monday.

[runaway hero]

22. Well if they didn't want him

They should have done something about that.

[thesquanderer]

44. They still might. The convention hasn't happened yet... (n/t)

[runaway hero]

58. True.

[RussBLib]

23. Shut up!

hahahahahahaha

And one of my Senators, John Cornyn said "he will no longer talk about Trump until after Nov. 8."

WTF?

[Doctor Jack]

24. Seriously, look at this quote from Trump today. Full on temper tantrum

“Our leaders have to get a lot tougher, and be quiet. Just please be quiet,” Trump told his supporters. “Don’t talk. Please, be quiet. Just be quiet, to the leaders, because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter, and we have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself.”

[tanyev]

46. Trumper tantrum.

[63splitwindow]

25. What will it look like when Mnt. Trump actually blows...

[auntpurl]

26. A modern day Richard III

No doubt he'd be lopping off head of dissenters if he had the opportunity.

[Doctor Jack]

27. I would have said King Joffrey I

[auntpurl]

28. Ha ha, yes, that works too.

[Fozzledick]

66. In a previous thread, I compared him to Joffrey Lannister. That was a mistake.

Trump is no Lannister; a Lannister always pays his debts.

I should have said Joffrey Baratheon; just an arrogant little bastard pretending to be something he's not.

(My assessments of Hillary and Bernie still stand as is: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7865724)

[womanofthehills]

29. Let me - your great leader - do it all by myself

Wow - he's even sicker than we knew. Let him just keep on a talking.....

Narcissists I've known, get really, really angry if even slightly criticized - it seems to send them into a rage.

[safeinOhio]

30. Once he has lost he screwed

his only value was his name in lights. His business has gone to hell and the next step is, he'll be broke or broker. I'd bet he'd be dead with in two years. Broke and dead, and being a laughing stock will kill him.

[vkkv]

31. I think a lot of us already sensed that.... NT

[63splitwindow]

32. Another report on CNN...

"
Atlanta (CNN) — Donald Trump slammed GOP leaders on Wednesday for not lining up behind him, implying that he's willing to go forward without their help.

"We have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself. I'll do very well. I'm going to do very well. OK? I'm going to do very well. A lot of people thought I should do that anyway, but I'll just do it very nicely by myself," Trump said, though he did not elaborate on what doing it "by myself" would mean.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee also accused his party's leaders of being weak and told them to "please be quiet."

"You know the Republicans, honestly folks, our leaders, our leaders have to get tougher," Trump said during a rally in Atlanta. "Our leaders have to get a lot tougher. And be quiet. Just please be quiet. Don't talk. Please be quiet. Just be quiet to the leaders because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter."

Trump's biting words for Republican leaders appeared to be a response to the deluge of criticism Trump has faced in recent weeks over his comments that a federal judge was biased against him because of his Mexican heritage and, most recently, House Speaker Paul Ryan's rebuke of Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration.

The criticism comes as Democrats have unified behind presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and in the wake of a scathing anti-Trump speech by President Barack Obama, who issued an extraordinary condemnation of Trump on Tuesday.

Trump has sought to unify Republicans around his candidacy since clinching the party's nomination in early May, but the billionaire businessman has grown frustrated in recent weeks with the pace of that coalescing -- and the heavy fire he sustained from his own party amid his racial comments about the judge.

Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong declined to respond to Trump, instead pointing to Ryan's remarks during a Tuesday news conference, during which Ryan reasserted that he does not "think a Muslim ban is in our country's interest" nor "reflective of our principles."

Ryan previously called Trump's remarks about Judge Gonzalo Curiel "the textbook definition of a racist comment."

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus' office did not immediately respond to a request for comment."



[Doctor Jack]

33. I bet they are all thinking "does this mean I don't have to go to the convention?"

Maybe the village clerk of Beemer, Nebraska will take over for Ryan as the chair of the convention?

[Scootaloo]

35. *Cough*

Not gonna say it. I'm just not.

[AllyCat]

36. Well, given today's pic of the day

They seem to be doing his bidding.

[Doctor Jack]

38. Those quotes came before trump told them to be quiet

Those were republicans in congress running to their offices because they couldn't handle trying to defend trump after "Monday Shit Show 2016" terrorism speech.

[AllyCat]

40. Thing is, does it really matter?

They are s bunch of weenies.

[Doctor Jack]

43. True, unless the weenies finally get fed up and oust him

[Enrique]

39. the Prussian kings deserve it

especially Frederick.

[Doctor Jack]

42. Depends on which Frederick

Frederick I had his faults, bit too much of an autocrat, although he did contribute quite a bit to the arts and sciences. But I swear if you disparage Frederick II after bringing Prussia into the Enlightenment, you and I are going to have a big problem!

[RAFisher]

41. Where's the popcorn?

If Clinton's double digit lead in the polls continues I wonder how erratic and insane he'll get.

[LeftRant]

45. "I’ve gotten tremendous endorsements"

“You know, the endorsement thing, I’ve gotten — by the way, I’ve gotten tremendous endorsements, but if I don’t get them that’s OK,” Trump said. “We’re gonna run. We’re gonna win. And here’s what we’re going to do when we win: We’re gonna make our country so great again.”

He's like a broken record of bragging.

[Doctor Jack]

47. He sounds like my garbage disposal

[tallahasseedem]

76. ROFL!

I barely started watching his speeches the past couple of weeks, but his use of hyperbole and repetitive phrases even shocked me. You would think a "successful" businessman would have a more extensive vocabulary.

[Doctor Jack]

77. Nope, roughly 100 words

Like a 2 year old

[forgotmylogin]

48. Ha...in the story Trump says "Get tougher...

...&quot but not on guns of course.)

[Stonepounder]

51. The Republicans are Soooooo screwed!

If they nominate him at the convention, they lose the House and Senate as Trump completely melts down as even his most ardent supporters desert him.

If they don't nominate him then they lose the House and Senate as he launches a 3rd party effort and his supporters go absolutely bat-shit crazy over the Republicans not giving the nomination to the person they voted for.

I may just take up buttered popcorn again.

[Doctor Jack]

53. Long term, they would be better off not nominating him

They would lose this election but they could at least claim that he was a one off psycho that didn't represent the party. If they do nominate him, he becomes the de facto (orange) head of the party as a whole and claiming he doesn't represent the party afterward would be a difficult case to make.

[texanwitch]

52. I think.he thinks he is already President.

Just look how he acts.

Telling people what to do.

Just let him keep talking.

[roamer65]

55. lil Donny Dump.

[Doctor Jack]

56. I know, I want to play him a song on my very tiny violin

[smirkymonkey]

57. What a pathetic little jerk! Doesn't he understand that criticism, even unfair criticism, comes

with the territory? Can you imagine if Obama had acted this way over every little slight? He wouldn't have lasted a month.

[Doctor Jack]

59. I dont think he "understands" much of anything

This is what happens when your daddy gives you wads of cash instead of hugs

[ailsagirl]

69. Welcome to DU!!

[sadoldgirl]

64. No, I think he is very sane and played a game from

the beginning on. He never wanted the job, but ran
to help the Clintons by destroying the repug party.

I said that months ago, but people still try to make
him out to be a bogeyman.

Remember, who encouraged him to get involved!!

[Doctor Jack]

68. But then he destroys himself in the process

Now everyone is going to know him as the unhinged bigot man-baby. Why would anyone fuck up their own reputation like that?

[.99center]

73. What reputation?

He's made 13 million new loyal customers so far, with a possible 50-60 million more that will vote for him in the general election. If they're willing to vote for this nut, you can guarantee that they'll gobble up whatever else he sells them. Don't worry about his reputation, GE's NBC will fix that in the long run, if they paid him 250 million for the apprentice before his run I can't imagine what his show is worth to them now.

[Rocknrule]

67. Kim Jong-un, the American edition

n/t

[ailsagirl]

70. I'm surprised he didn't say SHUT UP

Imbecile

[Doctor Jack]

71. Wait until he starts telling voters that they aren't allowed to criticize him

[ailsagirl]

74. Looking forward to it!!

I can't believe we have nearly six months to go

Bring on the

[AgadorSparticus]

72. Wow. Trump has them in a vis. And is successfully neutering them.

They have no idea what to do at this point. It is almost entertaining.

[.99center]

75. Its time for the leaders of the republican party to do something about this nut

Oh ya, what leaders Maybe it's time to bring out the big guns, get GWB back out there in the spotlight. What was his response when Trump blamed him for 9/11 anyways? It going to be a great election for Dems
