Trump having a meltdown on television right now.

[madaboutharry]

I am at a loss for words. The man is a raving lunatic. He has just gone through a laundry list of all his grievances and imagined injustices. He is spewing every conspiracy theory he read on Infowars and Fox.

I am so frightened for our country. Trump is completely detached from reality.

[NoMoreRepugs]

1. The newly elected Democratic House has him scared shitless.

[Cha]

3. That's exactly it.

Scared of the BIG BLUE WAVE!

[yuiyoshida]

64. Lets hope so

He is not going to fire Mueller and get away with any high crimes and misdemeanors.

[Honeycombe8]

65. He SHOULD be afraid. Very afraid.

It may not end the way we want. We can't know that at this time. But the Democrats are actually going to do the job that the Constitution empowered them to do, and that makes for a very scary time for Trump.

[pdsimdars]

80. Lock him up, lock him up (PLEASE) sooner the better

[SharonAnn]

83. I tried to watch 45! It was a non-stop diatribe.

"I tried to watch 45! It was a non-stop diatribe. Demeaning people, criticizing people, belittling people, blaming people, attacking people. Just the opposition and non-sycophants of course. On and on and on. Whining about how badly he and his people are treated. Not one single answer to a reporter’s question unless it was smothered in accusations, blame, and whining.

I had to mute it after 15 minutes of this."

[workinclasszero]

93. That's for damn sure!

Dems have the power of the House and Trump's GOP dictatorship is history!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

127. That and the fact that DJT Jr is going to get indicted next week.

If trmpie even tries to intervene or pardon him, the newly-elected House WILL move to impeach. Because that is the very definition of abuse of power.

Right now, he is melting before our eyes. In the coming days/weeks, he's going to implode. He's never been able to handle pressure.

[handmade34]

2. I am frightened for our country...

I don't know what in hell is going on... this is madness. 🤬

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, I've been thinking the same. WIth tRump, the fabric of a stable government is shredding. We are

so damn lucky the dems won the house. It's hard to predict what the madman in the WH might do.

[pazzyanne]

17. Not necessarily luck that the Democrats won the house.

It took a lot of work by a lot of people to bring this about. Starting with the Women's March, through the Parkland shooting, and ending with the thousands of Democrats at the local level out knocking on doors and Democratic leaders stepping up and becoming very visible. Hard work and tenacity won the House for us.

[RKP5637]

43. Yep, definitely a bad word choice I made. n/t

[reACTIONary]

119. According to Aristotle, luck...

... is a skill. It takes a lot of savey and hard work.

[pazzyanne]

129. That's true, but hard work doesn't hurt!

[YessirAtsaFact]

52. I gave money and volunteered to help flip VA-07, not luck, but I get your point

But we are fortunate that we got over the hump, lucky or not.

[RKP5637]

61. Yep, lucky was just a poor choice of words by me. n/t

[onetexan]

70. Don't be, we have good Dems leaders, and now that we have the House back all will be fine-in the end

[cbdo2007]

4. I think he is expecting the Jr. Indictment today and wants to be out of the country for it.

[3Hotdogs]

16. Trump: "Donald Trump, Jr.? Never met him before in my life."

(Not original with me but still funny.)

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Made Me Laugh!

So, yeah, it's still funny.

[watoos]

42. Actually you are being truthful,

didn't Ivana say that Trump had nothing to do with the kids, never changed a diaper or read a book to them. Maybe his defense of barely knowing Don Jr. will hold up?

[True Blue American]

46. Trump had little to do with

The 3 until they were older.

Trump is falling apart before our eyes. He is terrified. Like a cornered rat. Biting anyone who gets in his way.

[cbdo2007]

53. Rats always try to run...

He isn't cornered, he has plenty of places he can try to go and I think that's how this whole thing ends.

[Pa-Kid]

87. Yes he does

I here that Russia is very nice this time of the year especially in Siberia

[sprinkleeninow]

130. I almost wrote this on another thread. The steppes of Siberia are

lovely in the spring. * might want to get a head start. Да! 🤣

[KY_EnviroGuy]

74. tRump only took up with his own children after they were old enough....

for him to use to make money and expand the empire.......

[displacedtexan]

55. "Oh, that Don! I remember him now. Used to bring us coffee. Was only here a very short time."

Said Trump, as he wanders around the West Wing, trying to get presidential portraits to listen to him.

[True Blue American]

100. But I really do not

Remember ever being in a meeting with him!

[47of74]

102. "Oh that Don! I remember him now. He got in a lot of trouble trying to bribe guards to give..."

"...him conjugal visits with Mrs. Trump 4.0"

[3Hotdogs]

113. ---stopping at a particularly long time in front of the portraits of Harding and Nixon.

[fierywoman]

120. (You heard the story Ivana (wife # 1) relates about when DJT jr was born,

and she wanted to name him that, spanky said, "But what if he turns out to be a loser?&quot

[brush]

5. No wonder his lackeys don't want him to sit for questioning.

Can you imagine him being grilled by Mueller?

They'd have to bring in the guys with a straitjacket to haul him out.

[MoonRiver]

6. I am much less frightened today than I was Monday.

Now there will actually be checks on that maniac.

[True Blue American]

103. I am with you on that!

And several Republican Senators have come out backing Mueller, including Mitch

[lastlib]

118. Our only problem is that they don't take effect for almost two months....

The sonofab**** can do a LOT of damage in two months.

[MoonRiver]

134. I'm still less afraid. 2 months is better than 2 years.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. The problems with his meltdowns is that they're not complete,

even when he sounds as mad as a hatter. I want a meltdown so complete that he wets himself and has to be taken away in restraints. I want this meltdown:

[FakeNoose]

31. Or how about this one:

From Raiders of the Lost Ark



Epic meltdown!

[Totally Tunsie]

62. I'm with you! It's got to be massive, and I can't wait to see it happen.

[47of74]

71. Liquidation.

[blugbox]

81. Liquefaction

I want his company to suffer liquidation while he goes through his liquefaction hahaha

[LeftInTX]

75. That's why I don't watch them.

Now I know what to say when my friend asks me if I watched Trump's press conference!

[MoonRiver]

111. He probably wears extra absorbent Depends for just that possibility.

[fierywoman]

122. When I read the title of the post, my first thought was, "Would someone PLEASE throw some

water on him?!?" And you provided this wonderful clip, thank you !

[FSogol]

8. LOL, We're going to change the locks on the WH doors the next time he goes to a golf course.

[PatSeg]

9. I had just turned the TV on and

caught the end of his tirade. Totally unhinged and pretty nasty as well. He's just getting worse every day.

[RKP5637]

12. He's losing his last threads of sanity, and didn't have much to begin with. n/t

[Pisces]

23. I think we need to push him over the edge. Fight crazy with crazy

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

69. What I'm waiting to see on live television:

"Why me?!"

[Pisces]

79. Yes!

[PatSeg]

109. And I want to see him throw or break something

I think a major on camera meltdown is inevitable. His self control is eroding by the day and it wasn't all the great to begin with.

[PatSeg]

110. I wouldn't normally endorse that,

but in the name of democracy and future generations, I think it would be acceptable, not to mention satisfying.

[ginnyinWI]

18. Here's the whole melt down if you want it.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?454318-1/president-trump-matthew-whitaker-defends-reputation

He is definitely scared. He repeats himself repeatedly. Any minute I expected him to start ranting about the "matter of the strawberries".

[Permanut]

28. Great analogy, and one of Bogart's best performances. nt

[llmart]

73. I only watched three minutes and my head hurts.

[They_Live]

108. Thanks for posting that link

scared and delusional, indeed. Why is it necessary for his briefings to be in a jet engine deafening environment? Seems ridiculous. YELL! YELL! YELL!

[argyl]

117. Pretty much said he chooses people based on cable news appearances.

Or Fox News in his case.

[fierywoman]

123. I lasted 2:38 ... oh my FG.

[FakeNoose]

37. He should lose his hard card credentials over that

Be sure to notify Sarah Hucklebee Sanders.

[TNLib]

10. He's either just being his normal crazy or something big could be triggering him

I'm thinking Don Jr is about to go down. But who knows

[mr_lebowski]

30. Donald Jr. isn't Donald J. Trump ... ergo ... he's not that freaked about DJTJr getting indicted ...

It's really that simple.

Sure he's his kid, sure he 'cares about him', probably even loves him ... to the extent that a narcissist is capable of that emotion.

But I really don't think that'd be enough to drive him batshit. Only a threat to himself personally ... losing a bunch of money, being horribly embarrassed, getting impeached, going to jail ... HIMSELF.

He is 100% about HIMSELF. Self-interest is literally his only driver, in life, period.

[Cha]

54. Yes.. I think it's all tied

up to the Blue Wave and what that bodes.

[Pluvious]

86. Someone must have finally explained to him he's gonna get Benghazi'd !! nt.

[GoCubsGo]

96. Yep. He had NO clue as to what's about to befall him.

Not surprising, considering this asshole has little clue as to how his government works, along with being used to having a compliant Congress. That's about to change. I just hope we survive the fallout.

[cstanleytech]

132. Well it's easy to assume that its Jr or Jared but what if its his wife?

Let's face it we know there was deep ties with Russia during the campaign but such ties do not materialize out of thin air so maybe she is the link and Mueller knows and that's why Trump is blowing a gasket.

[lastlib]

135. Wives are replaceable....

He'd just call in Hope.

I really think he's worried just about what's going to happen to him if his tax returns come out, if Mueller comes after him, if Jr. flips on him, etc. It won't be pretty to watch, but I want to see it. The trailer (news conference) has whetted my appetite to see the whole movie....

My 2cts.

[RKP5637]

11. The ass sounds like a madman and totally void of any sophistication as president of the US. n/t

[duforsure]

13. He's pissed

Because he's a career criminal, and its closing in on him and his family , and members in Congress. He can't stop it, so he lashes out with more BS and propaganda making more wild claims he knows are lies. He does act like a 4th or 5th grader getting caught for doing something bad. The GOP in Congress will pay dearly again for allowing this to continue.

[grantcart]

15. No he is scared

[True Blue American]

105. That is why he is p*****!

[Pisces]

19. We cannot continue to follow the same political playbook with this lunatic. I'm so tired of hearing

This is unprecedented, never been done by a President. He is destroying the pillars of Democracy and what we have is a fragile. We take it for granted that the Constitution and our check and balances will protect us. This guy doesn't know or care about any of it. He's not asking permission, he's just doing things and letting the chips fall where they may, with a complicit Republican Party. It's terrifying.

[Pluvious]

91. Don't forget his sycophantic support from Fox and their ilk... nt.

[workinclasszero]

98. Trump would have no power without Fox, hate radio, infowars etc

Rupert Murdoch and Vladimir Putin are the ones destroying American democracy.

Trump is their marionette on a string.

[qwlauren35]

116. Complicit...

I think we're going to see that change. The Republican Senators must be terrified. Ted Cruz came damned close to losing his seat. Nearly 2/3rds of the legislators that Trump campaigned for LOST. Championing the Donald is no longer politically astute. And they all know it. They have gotten all that they can out of him, and it's time to cut him lose and groom Pence to take over.

[thesquanderer]

20. Again? I saw the subject line and thought it was a leftover from Wednesday.

It's getting to be like you could post this every day. It's like Groundhog Day.

[gratuitous]

29. First thing I checked was the time stamp on the post

I agree; this subject line is going to get worn out. Real soon.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

125. I did exactly the same thing

My first thought was, "Didn't I already read that one?"

He's damaging everyone's brain because, as Zoe put it in Firefly, "Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing."

[Cha]

60. Yes, another day another MELTDOWN.

he's got tells.

[UCmeNdc]

21. Trump is so crooked. He can hardly control his fear.

[Marcuse]

22. Closer and closer. Step by step. Inch by inch.

[jmbar2]

32. This never gets old

Lifts my heart whenever I watch it. A masterpiece.

[Girard442]

41. The real-est part of the video is Ivanka's feral smile as Jared is dragged away.

The expression on Comey's face is pretty good too.

[jmbar2]

97. Agreed!

I think the person who made this video could easily market a tutorial on "How I did it". I'd pay to see that.

[LuckyLib]

121. The last scene -- the Trumpster's perp walk is my fantasy!

[jmbar2]

124. Me too!

[world wide wally]

24. Skip the middleman and just have Alex Jones as President

Not much different

[workinclasszero]

101. None at all

The rest of the world must think all Americans are insane by now to have a madman like Trump in charge.

[monmouth4]

25. Those yuge crowds he saw in the streets yesterday told him how many citizens hate him. That

pleases me and really irks and bothers him..

[duforsure]

26. This is what a guilty

Criminal sounds like just before he's caught red handed. Its Mueller Time!

[Turbineguy]

27. Give us this day....

our daily rant.

[better]

94. or maybe "our daily dread"...

[rzemanfl]

33. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi.

The old, all purpose, standby post strikes again.

[Permanut]

34. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I've seen one on TV..

so with those credentials, I respectfully disagree with those who are seeing fear in Mango Mussolini. Raving lunatic, yes, malignant narcissistic psychopath, oh yes, textbook example, but I'm not sure the fear part of his brain works. He gets challenged and he attacks. Rinse and repeat.

[Botany]

35. Why this meltdown? "THE PRESIDENT IS VERY DEPRESSED": WITH DON JR. FACING POSSIBLE INDICTMENT

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/11/post-midterms-trump-is-in-a-bad-mood

[lark]

36. He's afraid SCOTUS will back constitution and he'll lose Whitaker.

He knows Mueller has sealed indictments that his attorneys have been fighting hard snd he's scared shitless & attacking out of fear.

[moreland01]

39. Serious Question for Old Dudes

Why do some dudes fall in to conspiracy theories as they age? I've seen it time and again. I've seen it with a few women too, but at an earlier age and they're usually cray cray to begin with. But seemingly normal men age and turn in to loonies! Is it FOX?

[efhmc]

51. Most of the guys I know like that have too much time on their hands.

Volunteer work would sure be the best way to circumvent this but to them it is too "girly". Just turning off Fox and taking a walk would help. Many of them have always needed direction because they are not self motivated in thought or deed, so they glum on to whatever is mentally simple.

[gordianot]

56. People of consequence hate him and he knows it.

After decades of being shunned by successful people he knows his behavior is not acceptable. His base is people who either feel rejected or revel in their ignorance. Trump cannot expand his base so he feeds on their rejection falling into conspiracy theories. Trump is an authoritarian at his worst a hopeless Narcissit.

[Azathoth]

59. Crankiness and bitterness

Old folks, especially older dudes, develop a sense of entitlement as they age. They should get their way because they've spent more time on this Earth and thus know better than the impudent upstarts all around them. When they don't get their way, they get bitter and start looking for things to blame. And since they have a lot more time on their hands than they did when they were younger, they are able to dive much deeper down the conspiracy rabbit hole.

Conspiracy theories become a convenient substitute for the "wisdom" they think they've automatically gained because of all their years.

[MrsCoffee]

72. I read an article that said seniors are more conservative partly because the poor die off.

And rich Americans outlive poor peers by fifteen years.

[jmbar2]

40. Nationwide marches against his plot to derail Mueller probably didn't help his mood this morning.

[edbermac]

44. Why is this day different than any other day?

He's been having meltdowns since day one.

[watoos]

45. I still think

he is going to have a nervous breakdown. He has never been challenged before, he always had someone to take care of his problems, quietly.

I read a long time ago that one of the reasons that his divorce settlement with Ivana was sealed was because it mentions he had a nervous breakdown. Eating Big Macs and washing quaaludes down with Diet Coke isn't going to help.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

47. You can go stand w protestors. Yesterday was cold, but, I'm glad I did.

Didnt have a sign. Just went and stood and talked w people. Wasn't "fun" per se, but I felt better. 5 hours.

[LeftInTX]

82. I went too

Unfortunately our congressmen were not there. One congressman sent a staffer, but that was it.

Even the group that protested at the airport when Trump implemented the immigration ban wasn't there. (And they're usually at everything)

When Trump had the Executive Order to stop DACA several congressmen, state reps, city council were there. They held a large press conference.

When Trump was caging children: Our congressmen were there, so were our state reps, rabbi's, christian clergy etc.

Our protest evolved into a litany of complaints: Medicare for all, immigration etc etc
It wasn't focused on the Russian investigation.

On the way home, I was listening to NPR. Someone was talking about the Russia investigation: I said, "I recognize that voice".

It was my congressman.

This event needed to be extremely focused.



At least one of TV stations was there. I need to check the newspaper.

It is important that the media cover these events.

I think I will go to Sen Cruz and Cornyn's office. They are creeps, but they need to hear from their constituents.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

89. I'm proud of you. Thanks for what you did. I'm trying to get a load of laundry done so I can go w

fresh warm gloves, and long underwear. Ticks me off we still have to do this crap. Civil disobedience and loyal opposition can get tiresome. Arthritis doesn't help. Some folks screamed themselves hoarse. I brought my thermos and a rack/packs of 10 coffees from McDonalds. They went fast and Im glad they did bc they just would've gotten cold.
Saw very very few young people. Mostly 40+. Not even college kids. Even late in the day after school hours.
Don't worry kids...we'll save you, (hopefully). Don't pull yourselves away from those video games, it's kind of inconvenient Im sure, and cold. Stay inside. Ahem.

[LeftInTX]

106. I usually go to protests

But I had a feeling this one was going to be a bit "vaguer". My friend said, "It's the Saturday Night Massacre"

I told her it wasn't the same thing because Mueller wasn't fired yet.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

107. It's not easy. Always some level of risk.

But, it has to be done. I'm proud of you for getting out there too. Used to just be labor dispute picket lines, and I knew most everybody bc i worked w them. Now, it's a mixed bag. Good to meet other people of like minds in the city.

[LeftInTX]

84. If you have Republican senator(s) - contact them.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

85. Yes. Contacting my senator is a joke.

[The Genealogist]

48. If you can't stand the heat, Trump, get out of the kitchen

Take your insanity to mar a lago or Moscow.

[Initech]

49. We are heading down a very dark path in this country.

I am very frightened what's going to happen if the Orange Douche is ousted in 2020. It will turn the MAGAts toward something very horrible.

[GulfCoast66]

63. Only thing it will turn them to is bud light, smokes and Fox News.

They aren’t going to strap the oxygen tank onto their Hoverounds and go hit the streets.

[Initech]

66. Yeah true, they will just live out their armchair general fantasies on Twitter and Facebook.

[MarcA]

99. Let him be sent packing in early 2020 in the midst of the R primaries.

If we can survive that long. It would be Utter Mayhem in the rethug party
as they rip themselves apart.

[Initech]

112. As much as I would love to see that happen...

1. It ain't happening.

2. That would only further enrage Trump's most diehard supporters to do something violent.

I honestly think the best course of action is to let him keep doing what he is doing - he is making an absolute fool of himself and the whole world is noticing. People will eventually get tired of his schtick and that is already starting to show.

[bullwinkle428]

50. Airing of grievances? Didn't anyone tell him it's not Festivus yet?

[lunatica]

57. Future historians are going to have more than enough footage!

His spiral descent into raving madness will almost write itself!

[Fuzzpope]

58. Time to go, Fat Man.

[AllyCat]

67. GPS Fusion? The Dems used GPS Fusion to somehow win?

Is that like Asian Fusion? Because I love that kind of food. Maybe that would help me win if I eat more Asian Fusion food.

God, he is completely bonkers.

[Cousin Dupree]

68. He's obviously scared and desperate. And he has no limits. A frightening combination

[dajoki]

76. I saw enough with the last one n/t

[lindysalsagal]

77. I have to guess that a life of wealth kept him stupid.

He has no mooring to reality, and now the world is finally teaching this toddler that he's a separate person who is subject to rules, laws, and consequences, for the first time.

[VMA131Marine]

78. Is it Festivus again already???

I need to prepare for the feats of strength.

[iluvtennis]

88. And he is just now attacking Jeff Flake

realDonaldTrump
19m19 minutes ago
More
Jeff Flake(y) doesn’t want to protect the Non-Senate confirmed Special Counsel, he wants to protect his future after being unelectable in Arizona for the “crime” of doing a terrible job! A weak and ineffective guy!

Link to tweet

[sprinkleeninow]

131. Beyond immature, infantile. No disrespect to wee ones that are

naturally darling and it's their natural state.

Jeff Flakey?

Get a fricken life, dumasss.

[Grasswire2]

90. does anyone have a link to video?

I am triggered by his narcissistic fits (ex husband bully) but I must bear witness to this.

[blugbox]

95. Here you go!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211401861

[workinclasszero]

92. Trump is a raving right wing lunatic

The GOP is now made up of insane idiots who have no connection to reality and Dump is their leader.

[C Moon]

104. He's been living in his pretend world, with his sycophants feeding him.

That election win for the Dems is looking him dead in the eyes, and his pretend world is crumbling.

[elmac]

114. hmmm

[elmac]

115. hmmm

[vlyons]

126. Don't be afraid. Smile at fear.

It will take some more time, but we will deal with Trump. His come-uppance is heading his way. We just have to stay calm and practice patience. We are going to reverse his stupid EOs. We are going to elect a decent and competent human being as POTUS in 2020.

[trickyguy]

128. No cure now for rTumps narcississtic personality disorder. Should be in full bloom very soon.

[notinkansas]

133. Uh huh. And you know what they say about cornered rats.

With the power to launch nuclear weapons no less.

What could go wrong?
