Seriously, What Did tRump Think Would Happen

[JimGinPA]

If he kept pissing on the FBI, the DOJ, the rest of the intelligence community & the press? Did he really think they would be cowed by his bluster?


It's only a matter of time before every little bit of dirt on his whole "family business" comes out now.

1. Yes, he did.

He has been a con man for his entire life, and it worked, so to speak, until now.

[Grammy23]

2. That's just it. He didn't think. He never does due to his limited brain function.

He just assumes that everyone and everything will bend to his will. Up to now a lot has. However, his world is about to be rocked. And not in a good way.

3. He thought, and still thinks that he is smarter than everyone.

[Generic Brad]

4. Why, he'll be the smartest guy in prison

Him going to prison - that's going to smart!

[dchill]

5. Yeah. Not even, though.

[localroger]

7. It will all be other peoples' fault

The flippers, the witch hunters, Hillary, all their fault. He is incapable of admitting that he fucked up anything himself.

6. Next to Drumpf, Sweatshop Barbie is the one I most want brought down.

She being groomed for the White House... time to nip that shit in the bud.

8. I dont believe he is enough of a strategic thinker to puzzle that out. Totally acts impulsively

no awareness of consequences.

9. Limited lizard brain function

Self-evaluation is not included.

10. Fraud doesn't think.

11. Honestly no one has ever held him accountable.

He has always gotten away with all manner of crap. No one exhibited any control in the beginning of his term so he went with it. He truly believes he is bulletproof. Only recently has he begun to tumble to the notion some people do right because that's the way they roll they aren't for sale or compromised. It baffles and frightens him.

12. why did he run for president?

he had to have known his business would be scrutinized and his criminal acts discovered. He likely thought being president was being a dictator and he could hide everything. His ego overestimated the "loyalty" surrounding him.
Just think, he has been getting away with what will likely to be discovered, criminal behavior for decades - why was no one even looking into this, especially the Russian connections.

[luvtheGWN]

15. He has gotten away with so much during his "business" career,

and he managed to get elected without having to show his tax returns. So why wouldn't he think he would continue to be shielded from scrutiny? And when someone's ego is as large as his is, he would convince himself (and may even continue to do so) that he's simply untouchable. I also doubt that he's capable of (or willing to) looking into the future with any sort of imagination or questioning of what "could" happen to him.

16. I don't think he expected to be elected.

He may be a Russian asset, but he was just put there to create chaos. Maybe he would have refused to give way, to allow the peaceful transfer of power if Hillary had been declared the winner. I saw his look of shock, the deer-in-the-headlights look when they declared him the "winner." His whole family had that shocked look.

He had to get his marching orders after he was elected. Then he started tearing down the entire government, out of ignorance, fear and greed. Of course, Putin is the force behind much, but not all, of this.

I don't believe he wanted the job. But now he will hang onto it for dear life.

13. Trump Stupidest Person Ever

I said this already

[Liberal In Texas]

14. Obviously he thought that there would be a script for Reality like there is for

a "Reality" TV show and he could write it and manage it. Nobody on a fictional TV show argued with him. So why not in real life?

He is insane and can't separate reality from fantasy.

[PatSeg]

17. You know

I often thought you have to be crazy to piss off the FBI. I sure wouldn't want them as an enemy. They have resources and capabilities that we cannot begin to fathom. Why on earth would someone give them the motivation to use them?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. Nothing. He didn't think anything would happen.

It's been said that he believes the entire DOJ is under his command, so therefore they answer to him and are at his personal pleasure and use. Sorta like the kid mowing the WH lawn. Many of his Tweets reinforce that belief.

As Mel Brooks said "it's good to be king"....... ..........

[D23MIURG23]

20. Trump suffers from delusional grandiosity, so yeah, he probably did think that.

Although I can't say I don't enjoy seeing him get smacked in the face constantly by the difference between his imagined stature and his actual importance.
