Is it just me or is Trump's state of mind getting worse?

Just watched Stephen Colbert's monologue where he showed clips from the interview where Trump freaked out about someone coughing.

Trump is toxic, nervous, unhinged, aggressive, lashing out. Straight-up insisting that other people remember wrong and that his memories are superior to their's.

This is a man who will crack under pressure.

Oh, he will f**king crack under pressure.

Because the imaginary world he lives in will eventually deviate too much from reality, creating an unresolvable conflict.

He is THIS close to doing something really f**ked up.



Lashing out.
Berating.
Can't sleep. Tweeting in the middle of the night.
No friends, nobody to talk to, no rest, no intimacy.
No home to rest his mind.





Trump is not a driven man.
Trump is a hunted man.
Hunted by his own inner demons.
It's just a question of time until they catch up and consume him.

mentally, emotionally, and in the polls.

People are starting to see him for what he is. Most don't even watch his interviews anymore.

I don't know if this trend will be large enough to get a complete victory in 2020. But at least there's a movement....

Absolute worst case defense, he pleads diminished capacity resulting in an inability to tell right from wrong. Not willingly of course, and it would take a court-ordered evaluation he would refuse to cooperate with, but in the deep recesses of what passes for his mind it has to be part of his daily, long-term strategy to avoid Incarceration. Think of it as his version of a cyanide capsule, the death knell of his public persona leaving just a shell staring through vacant eyes, but dodging the consequences of all he's done. Which is what he's all about

His only job is to sign the papers his masters tell him to sign.

Anything for a blow job.

If Reagan had any positive qualities it's that he had some acting skills. Not great acting skills, but skills nonetheless, and these skills persisted even into the early stages of his dementia.

Reality television doesn't even require that.

Slipping into dementia Donald Trump is a reality television star. Everything now can be fixed with spin and post-production.
