What is the moron-in-chief's Achilles' heel?

I figure that we can't wait for Mueller and the GOP could maintain control after the 2018 mid-terms so there has to be a way to make The Donald go incredibly nuts in full view while cameras are rolling. Only if he has a complete and full blown mental melt down will they invoke the 25th. Someone who is non partisan needs to purposely do or say something that will do the job instantly in a well documented way. What could instigate a severe mental collapse?

That is actually why we are where we are right now in this country. So as you can see, provoking him in that way is actually very dangerous. But if he were defied in a way and was unable to do anything about it, that impotent rage might make him implode. But like I said, it is a very dangerous kind of thing and I wouldn't seriously consider doing anything like that. We're talking about a deranged man who has enormous power. I wouldn't fuck with that.

to press him on a sensitive topic. He has several buttons that might be pushed. His net worth (or lack of it), Russian interference in the 2016 election, his seeming obsession with his daughter, Ivanka, the Pee Pee tapes, and anything to do with his record as a business man. So the scenario goes something like this: Journalist asks touchy question on sensitive topic. tRump bristles and starts to reply. Journalist interrupts tRump to probe further. tRump starts to seethe and starts to answer again, only to be interrupted AGAIN. The rest of the people in the room roar with laughter. At this point, tRump completely loses it, starts throwing things and screaming obscenities. Cameras roll and catch every.single.moment. And the rest of the room applauds vigorously for their fellow journalist and the camera crew who caught the meltdown.

Yea. That’s How I’d like to see it.

road and won't let them finish their question. He then does his Fake news speech and moves on.
So any question that would poke him into a blow up gets overtalked by Trump.

I know pushing him to the limit would be very hard since he is a master of deflection and, if necessary, total bullying to keep the floor. But every now and then, I need to veer off into fantasy land —

I want him to have one single bat shit crazy episode where he practically foams at the mouth to such an extent that even Ivanka thinks he should be committed to a mental ward for life ASAP.
Have you ever seen the original MASH film? They antagonize the Frank character subtly until he lunges at Hawkeye in the mess tent and he is finally driven off in a straitjacket.

He thinks his affairs, bankruptcies, draft dodging and election theft make him look smart. But there is something in his tax returns that he wants to hide above everything else.

Pathetic, sad, old, low-energy, brain-damaged, loser, dottering, I still don’t know. But it’s the game he plays and once it sticks, he’ll obsess. Wouldn’t take much for madness at than point.

I mentioned it here a month or two ago. If there were a particularly clever and damning nickname that stuck in public consciousness and was heard on the street all the time, and gleefully shouted out toward him, Trump would go on tilt.

It would have to be something so perfect that even rightwingers recognized the fit and didn't mind joking about it.

The current offerings like Dotard are so weak and incompetent I can't believe they withstand one full day.

Otherwise you need another damning tape or several of them. Those would be most helpful if Trump is heard belittling a specific group that he needs. For example, I don't doubt that at some point Trump has mocked rural people, or church goers, or military members, or Republicans. Heck, he's ripped everybody and he's nothing but a self obsessed opportunist. Those comments were made but unfortunately not captured, or captured by someone willing to share.

he was anywhere, he would go crazy. He loves the word LOSER. It's one of the most basic insults he can toss.

This would be simple and quiet and could be seen from a distance.

It would be damaging but the degree depends on the context and frequency. If he blurted out the word once or twice in frustration his base would recognize the same tendency among themselves so Trump wouldn't suffer fully and eventually be forgiven. That may sound outlandish but it's where his GOP base stands in 2017.

If he raged in demeaning terms not against an individual but blacks as a whole, then he can't recover.

I suspect he's done it both ways, and more than once. But Trump is a life long liar and cheat so he knows who to surround himself with. He also applies threats and fear. Those Apprentice colleagues or producers or whomever aren't going to risk his wrath so the material remains cloaked. Likewise the people who know all the Russian details aren't going to cave. Unlike Nixon, Trump has had 50 years to work on deceit and concealment.

Trust me. Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and their "family values role model" has massive, degenerate MOMMY issues, as do so many of the submissive wankers who blasphemously worship him as their republican "god emperor." I shit you not. Many republicans actually speak of Old Bones Spurs (R) that way. Super sick.

Maybe if someone was able to mess up his hair to see his scalp. That could set him off but the poor person who has the guts to do it would end up in jail.
