Haberman has a theory regarding why Trump was more of a dick than usual in Montana.

Trump’s presentation at the MT rally was steeped in grievance. People close to him believe he was angry about having to fire Pruitt and lashed out publicly at almost everyone else (except Putin) in his remarks.

1. He was just acting out because he lost a key player - give him a break

Right, Maggie?

[Miles Archer]

4. One of the people who replied encouraged her to stop making excuses for him.

He also had this:

EXCLUSIVE: City nixes property tax break for Trump's NYC apartment

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-pol-trump-property-tax-20180705-story.html

But I just think he feels "empowered" at those frigging rallies. That's it. No "cause" for the behavior.

32. Trump is a drug addict, and his drug of choice is adrenalin.

And like an addict, it takes a greater and greater hit to achieve a high, so he keeps adding to his repertoire of bullshit, and the crowd bathes him in waves of adulation.

[PatSeg]

35. Yes

I believe you summed it up perfectly. When he needs a "fix", he holds a rally. I think eventually, like most addicts, he'll crash and burn.

[vlyons]

2. Trump is not only a loser,

but a sore loser! LOSER LOSER LOSER

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Hmmm, classic Freudian transfer of hostility.

Sounds plausible.

[Cha]

14. Thanks for noticing, she!

I was hoping someone would and it's you!

[smirkymonkey]

15. Thank you Cha!

[Cha]

17. Aloha, Smirky!

That's the Unhinged Twit with there.

I think those are going to be flying high when the Fraud goes to London.

[EricJohnson]

16. Good post.

[Different Drummer]

19. Regarding the Keith Boykin tweet...

Bill Press was just talking about that very thing this morning on Free Speech TV.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

22. Need another column depict those indiceted and or jailed...

something of which will have to be updated once Muellar files more indictments, perhaps today?

[NastyRiffraff]

25. I want that baby!

Does anyone know if someone is selling mini versions? I don't think the county will let me fly the big blimp.

[Cha]

31. I think the blimp and the chickenshitrump

are made in England. And, they're planning to float them with their Protests.

I could be wrong, Riff.. we'll have to see.. I wish them all the luck in finding the Fraud.

[NastyRiffraff]

34. When his motorcade passes

Someone should yell "Look up, Donald!"

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

26. That's quite a list.

Nice pictures. Glad dt told everyone hes doing the Downton Abbey style tour. I'm sure the protestors can adjust. We aren't idiots like your kids Don.

[Cha]

28. I know.. I was just thinking..

why can't the Protesters find trump?.. take their Protest to him.

Find the chickenshit and Protest!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

36. God damn coward.

Face what he's done to our allies. Perfect reason why he shouldn't have been invited. He's not royalty, and he can afford himself and his family to do the Downton Tours. We will pay a big bill. Fuckin coward. Gets all smart ass in front of a small gyms full of traveling supporters, but, can't find his stones to face the music in England of all places.
4 people seriously wounded by Russian Novichok(?) and he runs like a scared child to the palaces of the English Hinterlands. He has blood on his hands all over the world.
Why hasn't he sent help to Thailand? Must be the countries leader isn't a street murdering thug like Duterte, and Putin and Kim.

[Louis1895]

39. Not fair to have Bharara on that list

He was not a Trump appointee.

[Renew Deal]

6. Or there is some more bad news for him coming

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. That's my guess... the peeResident is going down like a flushed turd.

[duforsure]

7. Why was he upset?

Because pruitt had a deep pockets donor who put lots of money into campaign funds for the GOP and pruitt and trump I suspect, and by firing him he may lose that now. That was probably why pruitt lasted so long after all the corruption , not because of trump , but his donor behind pruitt.

[FakeNoose]

29. Yes, Pruitt bought his seat at the table with money from big campaign donors

That needs to be investigated along with his other misdeeds. It's surely the reason why Cheeto was so "attached" to Pruitt, since he never even met the man before his 2015-16 presidential campaign.

We can probably assume that anybody that Cheeto praises and shows loyalty to, has bought their way into his affections with very large untraceable campaign donations.

[robbedvoter]

8. oh, poor baby! What's a frustrated dictator to do?

you do know that Maggie's mother does PR for Kushner and did for 🍊 too, right?

10. Trump's presidency is a mess.

He is an impulsive, immature, tantrum-prone outsider, not a leader.

We know that he does not do much, real longterm thinking or planning because if he did, he would correct the problems, the misunderstandings and shortcomings, with those he appoints, with his staff, and they would not just either leave abruptly or get fired.

Who knows? Maybe he could even appoint more competent people if he weren't so impulsive. Thanks to his failed personality, his White House lacks continuity in terms of staff and policy.

His speeches are self-indulgent to a point that it is already a tiresome joke. He doesn't really have anything to say in terms of positive policy. It's his jibes and insults that get all the attention and may even be most of what he says. He can't seem to keep staff long enough to really implement any random good idea that might just fall into his brain or appeal to him at some unpredictable time.

He can whip up a crowd if made up of "his kind" of people, but really he would be better as a warm-up act than as the main show because when it comes down to working for the American people, he does more to separate us than to bring us together, more to fragment and therefore weaken us than to unite and strengthen us as a nation. Remember: Divided we fall, united we stand. Trump seems to think it works the other way.

His presidency is a mess.

The good news is that so far his blunders and mishaps have not caused any major incidents. I suspect that most of the world is just laughing at our plight. Because of our system and the political power of the frustrated, rural minority in our country that elected Trump, we are stuck with him.

The next two years look pretty dismal in my view. Sorry to be so depressing.

We have to win this Fall. That needs to be our one and only focus. Winning as much as we can in the House and Senate.

It is up to us to leave the bickering behind, focus on uniting at least ourselves and win, win, win this Fall. Anybody with me?

[Rorey]

38. United we stand, divided we fall

I'm with you, Sophia.

[still_one]

12. no Maggie, he has been that much of a DICK all along, you and others have just been making excuses

for him with hopes that it will get you more access

[Orsino]

13. Haberman is a slow learner.

The decades-long record of Trump's public utterances is steeped in grievances. His entire campaign for the presidency was a lashing out at everyone who disdained him or threatened to expose his fraudulent image. His every documented act amounts to the settling of some old score or another. He is always angry about not getting his way.

Why the fuck is Haberman acting surprised in the year 2018?

[SamKnause]

33. Damn straight !!!!!!!!!

[kimbutgar]

18. I think he is so more unhinged more now he will admit in his one of his speeches that he conspired

With Russia and they changed the votes to help him. He will blurt it out because he is in the throes of psychotic demementia.

[yonder]

23. perhaps a "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson moment?

Wouldn't that be great? Then watching tRumps gang try spinning the damage. "It was a joke" or "I never said that" or "fake news" or blah, blah, blah.

Endless clips of dRump spouting something like this:

One can only wish.

[aggiesal]

20. And, because he's a moronic idiot!!! n/t

[Grammy23]

21. His life, his presidency, his whole way of being is a hot mess at all times.

But every now and then (like 3-4 times a day) something irritates the living sh*t out of him. He has to vent his anger and frustrations or he blows up. That's Why his face is so bloated and red — he is about to blow like Vesuvius. So his staff has learned it is best to just let him rant. And create opportunities for him to do his thing. Hence, the need for rallies that are like mother’s milk to Baby tRump.

The thing he does at most rallies will wear thin eventually. There will be a core (a hard core like the center of a boil) that will go to the mat for him. But the rest will drift away. May that happen sooner, rather than later.

[yonder]

24. Yes, after a year and a half

I keep hoping for his schtick to start falling flat. How many times can his supporters watch the same bad old movie?

[C_U_L8R]

27. Anger is one thing.

But a spittle-filled nonsense rage going on about Elton John and who knows what???
That's just nuts.

[SamKnause]

30. Oh really Maggie.

He has a 61% turnover rate in his White House.

He only cares about Pruitt ???

Bullshit.

He is an EVIL LYING asshole and he shows it every time he gets a chance.

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Trump grieves while the nation rejoices

he's totally out of sync with America

[NRaleighLiberal]

40. Maggie is very, very slow to the game here (probably intentionally)

[DeminPennswoods]

41. He should hold his breath until he turns blue

instead.

[KelleyKramer]

42. Maybe it's more simple, he's an idiot and he's nutts
