Keep Ridiculing Donald Trump, Everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
