Ex-White House aide describes Trumps abusive tantrums when he doesnt get his way: Not normal at all
Published 6 hours ago on January 19, 2020

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Omarosa who wrote an insiders account of life in the White House after she was unceremoniously fired said there was little in the new book that surprised her.
Digging into her Oval Office days, the former adviser and longtime Trump associate described the presidents zero to 200 screaming jags when displeased.
What is it like when this president has one of his angry fits, gets upset, and [co-panelist] Sam Nunberg is smiling as well so I can ask you both, as it well-represented here in the Washington Post does he go off the rails? host Witt asked.
Oh, he does, he goes from zero to 200 over the most trivial things, Manigault Newman said as she smiled. He starts to scream, he turns orange-red, he starts to emote, and he doesnt want you to leave, because everybody wants to kind of edge away. He would have these tantrums and there was no way to calm him down. and then an hour later, he would call you and try to have a normal conversation. It was not normal at all.
There is something neurological going on with Donald Trump, she continued. Im not a doctor but Ill tell you what I observed in 2003 when I first met the man and when I last spoke to him. There is some disconnect with his ability to process basic information. Its not that he doesnt know the basic terminology of the government, of its structure and functions. He makes statements that have an impact around the world; thats what he doesnt grasp, his ignorance is destroying our country......................................

(is there some reason that I should think better of Omarosa than the other WH toadies and sycophants?)

I don't know about tapes if she actually has them but this tantrum stuff checks out based on what other people say. A lot of stories broken about Trump's behavior comes from sources within Trump's White House.

Same as 2000. Without the EC, no 9/11, another trillion dollar taxcut, no war in Iraq, no Katrina/FEMA fuckup, no rectal lock-up of our banking/investment sector that threatened a full scale meltdown of our economy.
Why can't the average Republican voter figure this out? Why do they prefer stupid over competence?

(740 posts)why do they prefer stupid over competence. My best guess is they buy the BS the GOP is selling plus they know that it's hurting people they don't like. US!

Lack of courage? Everyone wants to be anonymous, nobody has the courage to say it like it is, to go public. If enough people went public, went on TV and WARNED the country, denounced the GOP enablers then we could find and end to this nightmare, but it has to come from the people inside.

(14,586 posts)1. Removal from office by the Senate. (Probably not gonna happen because Republicans are traitors)
2. Smash all turnout records in November and paint the country deep blue.
3. Support the National Popular Vote initiative in your state so we can get rid of the Electoral College.
