Question For all.

Is Trump reaching his cracking point? Is the news that an Impeachment Inquiry triggering his attack on Cummings?

Cummings has the Authority to subpoena Trump records. His racist attack lasted all night long.

Something triggered that. He is floundering.

I think Romney is the canary in the coal mine.
If the power people in the GOP are going to say enough is enough to Trump, Romney might tell us first. He is untouchable in Utah and doesn’t need the money or power.
He could be the “nations conscience” if the money people dump Trump before November 2020.
But, I don’t see it happening.
They still see Trump as preferable to a Democrat winning. I don’t know what could change that.

CNN reported yesterday that Trump was inspired by a report on Fox News about Baltimore and Cummings' district.

As time progresses, and House investigation into Trump deepens, more and more cracks will appear and Trump may finally have some kind of breakdown. Let's hope it's not anything dangerous, like starting another stupid war.

Republicans are sadly silent.

Nixon had Republicans strong behind him,too. But when the Dike broke, there was a flood.

Calling Cummings a, “ Brutal bully!” Fox news just may have pushed Trump across the insanity line.

When he has issues he's knows will hurt him the most in the headlines, like his involvement with Epstein, Putin , and his taxes exposing him as a russian asset for putin, a tax cheat, and for money laundering. He knows his base will accept racial attacks , so he uses it to change the headlines and attention with it now. He has used this tactic many, many times . Like his accusations against Obama and Hillary, and others. He intentionally starts fights this way, then escalates it for the media to use instead of them showing more of the other issues that'll hurt him , and drive more people away. He is putin's puppet.
