When is he going to snap?

[MoonRiver]

His tweets and behavior are becoming increasingly erratic and irrational. He and Melania are basically living separate lives. The sexual scandals are piling up. And Mueller keeps investigating, despite Idiot's best efforts to stop him. I don't think that narcissistic sociopath can keep it up much longer, especially considering his limited brain power.

[dchill]

1. Probably when Mueller's next batch of indictments come down.

If not before. Just guessing.

[ginnyinWI]

15. drip, drip, drip.

It's the not knowing what's coming next. It's got to be rattling him. He knows what he's done.

[dchill]

21. The only thing that I can appreciate about what it's doing to me...

Is what it must be doing to him.

[PatSeg]

24. Yes

That is some consolation.

[greymattermom]

2. He has probably already snapped

many times. What do you think it's like in the Whitehouse?

[MoonRiver]

5. I meant something absolutely obvious, even to his demented base.

Like running through the White House grounds naked and screaming "I am emperor of America," or some such idiocy.

[getagrip_already]

7. I doubt that would do it..

"I was only joking".

I can't even imagine what he could say that would shock his base into reality.

Not:
-- I am going to sell aircraft carriers to russia
-- I am going to have sex with girls in the white house
-- I am shutting down the cia and nsa
-- I am disolving congress and the supreme court

About the only thing they would be bothered by is:

-- I support full throated gun control

[PatSeg]

26. Yeah

Guns might do it. "Bring me your guns, trust me."

[Dave Starsky]

38. No, it's a full-on religious cult. They'd hand over their guns and thank him for it.

Trump could tell them that he's coming to their houses to rape their wives and daughters, and they would turn down the bedclothes and leave a bucket of fried chicken on the nightstand for him.

[PatSeg]

40. He wouldn't be the first

"cult leader" to get men to turn over their wives and daughters, so I suppose it is possible. These people are so totally brainwashed right now, most would have to go through intensive deprogramming in order to change.

8. It's happening in real time

Looking at the tweets he has been spewing since late last night, it is obvious to me that we are watching a massive train derailment unfolding before our eyes in slow motion.

[shanny]

36. that's my thought too

The continuing investigation is like a pressure cooker and he is increasingly desperate and unhinged.

I can easily visualize a scenario where, as the investigation swirls ever closer, endangering his company, family and himself, he just up and quits, thinking that will solve the problem--just as he thought firing Comey would put an end to the investigation.

3. What's your definition of snap?

[2naSalit]

22. ...

[Wounded Bear]

4. From this morning's tweets...

I'd say he's in the process of doing so.

[PJMcK]

6. Trump left the planet decades ago

He's been insane for years.

He hasn't been a part of Reality for a very long time.

[enough]

9. We've been thinking this ever since he won the Primaries. He's not going to snap. NT

[BigmanPigman]

10. When Mueller indicts one of his spawn

or spawn in law. Maybe not even then. He could throw them under the bus to save his own skin (being a narcissistic sociopath makes this likely too) so he would probably snap under his own indictment and hang on to the bitter end.

[RKP5637]

14. Very good point, I hadn't thought of that yet, throwing his own under the bus. IMO he's fully

capable of that ... sociopath and all.

[2naSalit]

23. the only one

from that crowd who might push him to stage V would be if the daughterwyfe were taken into custody and even then I can't be sure he wouldn't leave her there.

[PatSeg]

29. I have never doubted for a minute

that he would throw his own family under the bus, even darling Ivanka. He is so self-absorbed and paranoid, no one is safe from his wrath.

[janterry]

11. Never

Trump has lived his whole life in crisis. Bankruptcy, failed marriages, juggling - we believe - money laundering.

This is all he knows how to do: chaos. I think he'll do fine as long as he thinks the chaos continues. If it ever stopped, then he'd fall apart -

[PatSeg]

31. He is older now

and not as strong physically or mentally. Before the White House, he lived in his own safe universe. He could retreat to Trump Tower when things got rough, a totally controlled environment.

He is so out of his element now and appears to be deteriorating rapidly. I think he could snap and probably already has numerous times, each time getting worse.

[RKP5637]

12. I just now read his Tweets, what an embarrassment he is to the US. He sounds like a child (as usual)

having Twitter tantrums. He's a sociopath, he does not think, feel and process information like a normal person. It's hard to tell what might happen, because he rationalizes everything in his mind as perfectly OK and he is the greatest.

[spanone]

13. looking at his twitter feed, i'd say last night!!!

[RKP5637]

16. Incredible, isn't it. Deranged and bizarre. The level of immaturity is startling. n/t

[MoonRiver]

17. I think so too!

[hatrack]

18. Judging by this morning's tweets, I'd say about now . . .

.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Keep. Prodding. Him. Every. Day.

I hope the meltdown comes in a yuuuuge eruption.

[IluvPitties]

20. Dude is a hardened criminal. He won't crack easy.

I hate the spell check in my phone.

[smirkymonkey]

25. It just amazes me how he goes on the way he does and holds it together.

There is a LOT of denial and escape from reality going on in that ugly orange, rodent covered head of his.

[dalton99a]

30. He was born without shame or conscience.

[PatSeg]

32. I think there are hundreds of

tiny cracks and eventually the whole mess will destruct.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. He doesn't have guilt or shame, so not sure he will.

[dlk]

28. People With No Conscience Are Amazingly Resilient

Since their caring is limited to themselves, they are relieved of many concerns that would down a regular person.

[Gothmog]

33. The concept of snapping implies that trump is or was sane at some point

Trump has been demonstrating that he has lost it for a very long time

[MoonRiver]

37. By "snapping" I mean obviously and completely losing it, according to anyone's definition,

including his demented base. Yes, he's a sociopath with no conscience, but his metaphorical wagon is being circled, ever more tightly. Eventually that will send him into an epic meltdown, at least imho.

[MontanaMama]

34. I hate to say that

I don’t think he will snap. I sorta want him to because...well just because. However, he has lived his whole life with this drama and upheaval. There are people who have to have constant chaos and he’s one of them.

[Phoenix61]

35. When they seize his assests

It's inevitable. All that neatly laundered Russian money that floated his sorry ass when he could no longer get loans through US banks.

[noel1237]

39. He enjoys this stuff, like he cares where Melania sleeps.
