I've got to hand it to the Orange Piece of Shit

I acknowledge his callous perseverance, even though I can neither respect nor admire it.

I say that because ....given Mueller circling around him, the Stormy Daniels affair, the other prostitutes who are coming forward, the forced subservience to Vladimir Putin, the emoluments suit, the obesity, the leaks, the bad poll numbers, etc., etc., etc...... a smart, moral person would have already had a nervous breakdown. I think it takes a special sort of stupid evil to be hanging in there.

2. SOP for him to some extent

His company was involved in 3,500 lawsuits over the years. The big difference now is the level of scrutiny, but he has no conscience, so...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/

...the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives: Edward DeBartolo, shopping-center developer and former San Francisco 49ers owner; Donald Bren, Irvine Company chairman and owner; Stephen Ross, Time Warner Center developer; Sam Zell, Chicago real-estate magnate; and Larry Silverstein, a New York developer famous for his involvement in the World Trade Center properties.

To maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers' names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined.

7. He Knows That He Has The Party Behind Him

He probably feels like nothing ever happens to him, and he always gets away with things. I hate to say it, but he will probably get away with the election theft as well.

that makes him believe that he's right, the rest of the world is wrong.

clear and simple. He feels nothing as far as stress. He just thinks of course he should be able to do whatever he wants and anyone trying to shame him are losers.

10. circling the drain

I've had a heavy work load for the past two weeks, and today exhausted, on the way home I heard Bloomberg radio replaying the Orangutan's blabbering in Ohio, then turned on the computer when I got home and saw that he was on his way to FL. The thought crossed, how does he do it? How does he keep going? I'm not quite that old, and although I do real work with few assistants, I get really tired.
No, I can't admire it, but I am rather awe-struck that he doesn't just have a massive coronary and fall over and die.
Not that I would wish that on any animal.
But I'm beginning to be interested in Icke's reptilian theories...

12. He can stand it because he understands little of it and thus ignores most of it.

It's the evil of blind stupidity in service of narcissism.

I don't hand him anything.

said that Trump may be so stupid, so used to going to civil court cases and either winning, losing or settling, that he just doesn't understand how much trouble he is in.
He is hopefully going to find out the difference between civil court and federal court.

14. Nothing personal, but I pray for Trumps good health

At least until Mueller brings the hammer down that is!! I want Trump to be as cognizant as possible to realize he is going to prison and losing what he cares about the most in life, his name and wealth.

15. Trump seems carefree about maintaining his WH residency. Not so
Thu Mar 29, 2018, 10:43 PM

carefree as far as Jared and Junior are concerned. He's seen how Gen. Flynn, Manafort and Rick Gates have gotten into deep doo doo up to their elbows.

Trump knows that Mueller has file cabinets full of stuff on his two family members.
