The more he is ridiculed, the more he does ridiculous, self-harming things. So, it's to everyone's benefit to keep the pressure on him. He got ridiculed for his stupid, out-of-context Twitter comment to the Mayor of London, so he followed up with more self-destructive tweets that further harm his agenda.
This is Trump's fatal flaw. He cannot stand to be criticized, particularly through ridicule. He thinks he is a serious person with serious ideas, so when his statements generate ironic laughter, he reacts by doubling down on those statements.
Keep it up, folks. Eventually, he will say something so heinous and damaging that he will tweet himself into having to resign.

(17,006 posts)It was his own tweets that the courts used to block his travel ban. He really is his own worse enemy. Plus, it's fun although a lot like shooting fish in a barrel.

Now, Trump called it a ban contemporaneously. Go Trump!

(15,242 posts)He wears a voluntary kick me sign on his back and it so much fun to actually kick him. Someday he will go completely off the rails and claim his victimization as his reactionary motive. Trump the victim is a self fulfilling prophecy.

LiberalLovinLug
(14,174 posts)And he leaves office in disgrace,
We will never hear the end of it. Waa Waa Waa....
And he will probably for sure buy a media company to use as a bull horn. Hannity will help him complain too. It will be poor Donny, 24/7. I wish I could say that once he is impeached or gone from office permanantly, he would be out of the news and off our TVs. But I fear as long as he is alive he will be a giant orange boil on the country. And his deplorable fans will still follow him. But at least he won't have any real power. That would be the biggest relief.

(6,008 posts)... Saying that he loves the distraction from his russian problems, and if 45 were smarter, I would agree. But he's not. He's dumb as a post, and thin skinned as a spring roll. He, like all authoritarians, can't abide mockery, and it will drive him to commit even more unforced errors.

(129,133 posts)I assumed someone (Bannon) told him the Mayor was a Muslim (first for a Mayor of London) and thus a red-meat move.

(146,317 posts)Trump seems to have a problem with people with that last name. Remember the Gold Star father, Khizr Khan? Maybe Trump thinks they're related.

Bleacher Creature
(11,257 posts)Most of the ridiculous stuff that he does only hurts him and his administration. That said, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that he would respond to the ridicule by doing something that hurts everyone else, including some sort of military action to prove his manhood.

I'm sure he has something planned to upstage Comey, or he will just knee jerk do it, without consulting anyone.

(21,164 posts)Have him unravel so much they have to drag him away in a white coat as he is frothing from his mouth. A breakdown so shocking it wakes up some of the chumpers that he is insane. I think we will see something hopefully this week. He is definitely getting more unhinged.
When I turned on the tv this am on the news it showed him talking about infrastructure he sounded kind of nutso in the 30 seconds I heard. His voice irritates me and he is in a panic mode.
MineralMan
(146,317 posts)That's going to be very difficult if he keeps posting stupid tweets that make no sense. There's also that Congressional testimony that will be heard this week. It's going to be a trying week for The Donald.
3catwoman3
(24,007 posts)..."IF he keeps posting stupid tweets," to "WHEN he keeps posting stupid tweets that make no sense."
I would say it is pretty much a given that he will continue to do exactly this unless someone amputates his fingers, at which point he would become a "no-fingered vulgarian.'

(12,882 posts)I'm angry as hell that they give this Bozo even a TINY shred of legitimacy! If he goes totally berserk, that'll be fine - amusing even. But after they drag him off in his white coat of arms - then what??? And as much as I love to ridicule Donny, it's NOT really his fault that he's there. As we all agree, he doesn't want ANYTHING from the office except bragging rights. The intricacies of the legislative system, the ridiculous jack-waddle of the procedural hoo-ha board game that passes for foreign relations - all that is just so much bother. He really yearns for the good ol' days - feet on desk - arguing the recompense he wants for Chinese factories to use his brand - making a deal with Melania for an evening in... And yet there's nit wits that holler SHIT YA! - we LOVE this guy! Even when THEY get shit on, it's "Hell yeah! More, more, more!"
Nah, not sorry for them AT ALL.

(146,317 posts)him actually doing that. As he has learned, the courts are unwilling to accept unconstitutional crap from him. I don't expect that to change. The only real threat is that he might use the military to do something ugly. I hope that doesn't happen, but, it's a possibility that shouldn't be ignored.

2nd amendment solutions if Hillary wins - ... that will be a horrible thing
i could shoot someone on 5th avenue...
bragging on Howard Stern about his perverted behavior at the Miss USA pageant when he would stroll into the dressing room while the contestants were unclothed "Because I'm the owner, I can do that"
needless to say the list goes on. he's disqualified himself from being president pretty much constantly since that absurd announcement when he came down an escalator and said Mexico was sending their rapists to the US. there is a core of people who will obviously overlook anything and everything so they can continue to worship in his cult of personality.
i still shake my head when i consider that some of those people are in my own family.
i fear he is not losing his base fast enough to save the country. but of course i will continue to ridicule him.

(84 posts)As bad as he's been he could get even worse and still won't care. We saw how spineless repubs like Chaffetz disowned him after gram em and then came back. Even if they do desert him eventually he won't care. I believe as things deteriorate for him, his malignant narcissism will allow him to take our country down with him.

That's something Donald Trump couldn't handle.
I've been experimenting with DLT as in Donald Lies and Tweets. My Republican friends hate it so we're getting somewhere but it needs to be perfect.
That Covfefe obsession is short lived and fragile. Nobody is going to care in a month or more. People who named their boat after that word will be like the women with tramp stamps above their ass.

(11,686 posts)he hates Germany the most so I suggest we all learn to speak German and if we ever see him or are just around in ear shot we speak only German just to bug him. While talking German around him we need to remember to say Merkel's name and laugh and nod in approval. I am mean but hey, so is he. If you do not want to learn German then learn Spanish and speak that only. Can you imagine his delight when the only languages he ever hears are from the two places in the world he hates most?

(176 posts)trumpsticks will never resign. It's admitting he's a failure and we all know that's never gonna happen! His favorite thing is.. to be the victim! Which, if forced out, he can claim that and save face, at least in his little pea brain, anyway. I really, really want to see him jailed for his crimes, but that's not happening either because he will be pardoned by the next idiot, pence. But the orange man in the orange suit sounds sooo good to me!
