Bill Kristol: "trump has been floundering this week...he's failing, which I think is dangerous. You

[AnotherMother4Peace]

got a demagogue in public office who gets desperate, who gets cornered. I'm really worried now about what he will turn to next to try and save himself."

This was on Andrea Mitchell this morning 4/23/20 - Kristol (former GOP strategist/analyst) was referring to trump's failures this week: immigration, Iran, covid-19 response, Kemp fiasco, polls, etc.

Andrea Mitchell responded with: "A fair warning."

1. You can't predict what a crazy man might do

[AnotherMother4Peace]

2. No, you can't - trump is self-serving & sadistic & will look for outcomes that fill those needs.

demagogue: a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument

He will be relying more & more on his "little pretties", his army of cult members.

[Buckeyeblue]

10. Yep. It's his formula. Blame people and take credit for successes that don't exist.

3. Who can predict what an insane person will do next? Hell, that insane person might even start

a war with Iran.

4. this WEEK?????

[AnotherMother4Peace]

5. Well - yeah. Kristol was just referring to his failures this week. I took away from Kristol's

statements that trump's corner that he's painting himself into is getting smaller and smaller.

Bill Kristol and other former GOP members seem to have a unique insight into the workings of trump's thinking.

9. The insight is because they are also right wingers

But they aren't venal, sadistic and mentally ill.

6. this week, last week, next week

every week until it's removed.

[malaise]

7. Kristol's right

The Con will be seeking a major distraction soon and very soon.
Truth is he should be in a padded room with a strait jacket

[AnotherMother4Peace]

8. sigh....There have been some dangerous cult leaders in the recent past.....

11. The South China Sea area would be a nice place to fuck with China.

Said no one ever.
