(3,063 posts)Trump likes to use that word a lot. Self-projection. He's been screwing people over for decades. He wants to rob the Country blind without any interference from the media.

(3,531 posts)Again, pure projection. It's starting to look more and more like the election MAY have been rigged: fishy exit polls, mathematically improbable to nigh impossible come from behind wins, unexplainable discrepancies between districts that use paper ballots vs. electronic ballots. But back when he was telling everyone the election would be "rigged" against him everyone in the media and on the left had to denounce his claims as an affront to the democratic process. Kind of hard to turn around and now claim it WAS rigged, only for Trump.
We may never know, and in a year it may be too late to do anything about it.

(45,806 posts)tries to ignore the Press & the laws of our Country Congress will have no other option but to impeach him!" Sure some Congress Critters try to fight for the Con, but they'll be the minority. After listening to too much progressive radio & MSNBC hosts, I'm more scared of the immediate month & few years than I have ever been. I'm no scaredy-cat either. The icing on the cake was a video of a meeting of the neo-nazis, seeing all those people giving the Hitler straight are salute REALLY has me worried.

(1,429 posts)there is no way to keep him out of the POTUS, barring his demise. Many posts abound on here explaining this.

(16,954 posts)so the public didn't really know the extent of his involvement. Let's hope they keep the focus on that aspect and insist he release his taxes.
Otherwise, it looks like he's going to do whatever he wants because it's doubtful the Republicans will pursue much oversight at this point.

Trump's place in history will be likened to the last Roman emperor standing on top of the wall in Constantinople as the hordes of soldiers stormed his decaying city.

(12,422 posts)Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις Konstantinoúpolis or Κωνσταντινούπολη Konstantinoúpoli; Latin: Constantinopolis; Ottoman Turkish: قسطنطینية, Ḳosṭanṭīnīye was the capital city of the Roman/Byzantine Empire (3301204 and 12611453), and also of the brief Latin (12041261), and the later Ottoman (14531923) empires. It was reinaugurated in 324 AD from ancient Byzantium as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330 AD
