Trump Blows Up And Says He's Getting "F*cking Killed" On Impeachment

Warms my heart.

Trump Blows Up And Says He’s Getting “F*cking Killed” On Impeachment


Trump is obsessively following the media coverage and telling people around him that he is getting “f*cking killed” on impeachment.

Politico had the insider account:

He’s ravenously consuming news about the subject — primarily through a friendly lens. From the Oval Office to the White House residence to Air Force One, he’s closely tracking how Republican members of Congress are digesting the latest revelations on his handling of Ukraine, and monitoring their statements for any sign of hesitation or perceived disloyalty.

….

“We’re getting fucking killed,” Trump often gripes — a complaint about media coverage that is escalating in volume and frequency amid the impeachment probe, according to a Republican close to the White House. “He does make that comment literally every day.”


Trump is getting his news and information from Fox News because it makes him feel better to watch shows like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity criticizing Democrats. Trump isn’t paying attention to what the coverage is saying or the direction that the country is moving. Trump is obsessing over the volume of media coverage that is being generated by impeachment, and instead of living in reality, he has retreated to Fox News.

Trump is acting as his own impeachment defense team. His impeachment obsession has so paralyzed him that he can’t function. All Trump does is tweet and consume media coverage about his impeachment. Unlike Bill Clinton, Trump isn’t trying to show the nation that he is an effective president who shouldn’t be removed from office. He has taken the opposite path, shut down, and shown exactly why he is not fit for the White House.

Donald Trump is getting killed on impeachment, and as long he continues to represent himself, the massacre will only get more gruesome.

could see because it was so great. Easy as pie.

Or when he was president there would be no crime. Everyone will be able to walk through any high crime area with no fear.

Or prescription meds - he would negotiate extraordinary deals that lowered prices.

Hope in the next debate, our Dems say that their goal will be to insure all more cheaply and move on to actually running against Trump

bring a flat screen and play clips of what he's said that directly contradicts what he says in the debate.

You couldn't do it in a debate, but I wish a journalist could get him in an interview where they did that. After a couple responses like that, he'd call them fake and walk away.

If he watches Fox all the time, where is he getting the bad news about impeachment? Fox doesn't criticize him. What little I've seen of that propaganda channel, it is all lies all the time. How does he know, aside from being booed at sporting events, that most people want him impeached?

He listens for keywords and how many times a day he hears stories.


Blah blah Trump, blah impeachment, blah trump.....

So even if it's saying impeachment is unfair, the piece still talks about impeachment.

He wants more pieces to attack Pelosi, and fewer discussing his impeachment.

Even fox will run stories discussing it, which is fortunately eating him alive.

And by the way since you don't like to read here is the Oxford dictionary of the word Impeachment


im·peach·ment
/imˈpēCHmənt/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: impeachment; plural noun: impeachments

the action of calling into question the integrity or validity of something.
"the prosecutor's detailed impeachment of the character witness"
British

a charge of treason or another crime against the state.
"the king cynically abandoned him, encouraging his impeachment"
US

a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public office.
"the president is facing impeachment over the scandal"


I prefer the second explanation just cut right to your horseshit: a charge of treason or another crime against the state.

the GOP in the senate would find him innocent—of anything and everything.
The only real issue for him is that it will greatly hurt his chances of winning in 2020—but I don't believe he will be impeached by both houses.
