Have you ever seen anyone look more guilty than Donald J Trump?

[kentuck]

What in the world is he hiding??

Whatever it is will shake this country down to its toes.

Why does he want everyone out at the FBI? What does he hope to accomplish?

It's enough to drive a person to drinking...

1. His image and brand are his life. Perhaps he's afraid of being unmasked as a mere millionaire

And what he seems to fail to comprehend is, the FBI is here to protect us from people just like him.

8. No, no. He's guilty as sin.

Well, maybe the brand thing too. But mainly guilt.

9. Have no doubt in my belief in his guilt, but I think his ego rules his every motivation

And his narcissism will never allow the possibility of accountability creep into his mindset.

2. He's like a cartoon charicature of a guilty person

The worst.

[Baconator]

3. You're projecting...

I don't think there's an ounce of guilt to be found..

I'm confident he truly believes himself to be the victim in all of this and anything that he may or may not have done was either

a) Necessary

b) The real way the game is played

c) Something anyone would have done in the same circumstances

In short, they're all out to get him and he just can't understand why...

11. He's not displaying guilt

He's displaying fear. His world view is so narcissistic that he has truly convinced himself that he is right and a victim.

[Baconator]

13. It's indignant fear...

People always used to say that Trump dealt with people in transactional terms. Business style... This for that...

Someone on one of my podcasts said that was bullshit and to look at it more from the lens of tribute. He feels owed all of these things and it bothers him when not only do some people not want to give to him but others are actively hostile and don't think he deserves it.

Made the whole thing much clearer for me.

4. His guilt is so obvious, things he has done are outrageous, yet a GOP congress supports him

which leads me to believe our democracy is pretty F'ed up in some quarters. And someplace I saw a poll (sorry, do not have link) that about 75% of republicans think Trump is a great role model for their kids. This sh** is damn scary.

5. Indeed.

6. He makes up his own reality. When Napoleon

and his troops were defeated in Egypt, he declared victory and came back to Paris as a victor. So with Trump. Whatever really happens, declare victory! If he can't do that, he blames someone else.

What I want to know is whether he's going to build up enough steam to really blow his top and just fire everybody blindly, with nobody being able to stop him. He's looking pretty grim lately!

His drive to hit back harder, to tilt at windmills as it were, is a life long pattern of behavior. As he gets hit harder and harder, he's not going to just go quietly.

7. This time he has hit the wall

And Mexico is not paying for it either, I might add.

(Trump) --->

10. I'm worried about him setting off nukes, anywhere!

That would be a distraction to his warped little brain.

12. He's the best you've ever seen at hiding things.
