Does Anyone Think That The Crazy Things That Trump Has Done Over The Last Couple Of Weeks......

that he's trying to get the Dems to impeach him? Is he giving them enough material to use for impeachment?

It's been said that Trump would like to get impeached because he would use that to cry foul - that the Dems are out to get him - so that he could run on that for 2020. He knows he has MoscowMitch to save him in the Senate.

Now that his polling isn't going well for him and it looks like he could lose to any Dem candidate - losing and being out of office - could really put him in a lot of jeopardy and maybe land him in jail.

If the impeachment process comes before the election and he survives the trial in the Senate - I think he thinks he could win a 2nd term and survive everything.

for a couple of months. Hard to believe it is getting worse, but it is. I hope the generals can stop him from nuking an ally.

during impeachment--even Fox will have to cover it.

So, for all his protestations, I really think he fears being impeached. That he doesn't act accordingly only shows the depth of this malignant narcissism and self-entitlement.

...after it is reported that he has requested people to break the law, take the land by eminent domain, and he would pardon them if they were charged with a crime? You cannot preemptively pardon someone for a crime they have not yet committed. He wants to build a wall and paint it black.

money, his own ego and revenge on those he hates. Everything stems from there but who knows how or why.

and he is just starting to realize campaigning the 2nd time isn't nearly as much fun as the first.
