He has COMPLETELY LOST HIS F#CKING MIND!!!

An agitated Trump encourages governors to use aggressive tactics on protesters
(


CNN)President Donald Trump, agitated and distressed after three nights of violent protests in dozens of cities across the country, including outside of his home, told the nation's governors in a video teleconference Monday to aggressively target violent protesters he said would only respond to a show of force.

"You have to dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks, you have to arrest and try people," the President told the governors in a call from the basement White House Situation Room, according to an audio recording of the call obtained by CNN.

In the conversation -- which drew a rebuke from Illinois's Democratic governor on the call -- Trump appeared angry and chastised what he characterized as a weak response to protests in certain places, which he said allowed violence to take hold. Trump emphasized his belief the violence is being fomented by forces from the "radical left."


And he suggested to governors it was their responsibility, not his, to tamp down harshly on the continued unrest.

"It's a movement, if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse," Trump said. "The only time its successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak."

[Jamastiene]

4. He is trying to start a race war.

No one is using him. He wants this.

for the first time in his debauched life he can't gaslight events...he can't lie, he can't spin, he can't bullshit, he can't deny...it's all on video...the moron has zero self-awareness...incapable of recognizing his limitations..graft and adoration...that all he knows...he has no core values ..that would require a conscience, a soul, a heart...and he possesses none of those...the emperor has no clothes...and it's played out on tv and social media...he can hide but he can't run..this isn't a movie or a reality show and between two preventable catastrophes he is faced with his own ineptitude...Hey, Don real life is a bitch, aint it!!!

[dmr]

32. Ain't it!

He has no clue.

He says you have to dominate. Rule by domination. He would if he could. He surely would.

He is a scaredy-cat clueless asshole.

[Baitball Blogger]

52. Well said.

[BamaRefugee]

40. EXACTLY.

[Ilsa]

39. President Boogaloo.

He wants to lead the movement to start a race war called in code "the boogaloo" by white supremacists.

[Jamastiene]

2. Anyone shitting his diapers in a bunker,

should not call anyone else weak.

[Wawannabe]

45. Fuckin A right

Jamastiene! Fuckin A!

[BComplex]

3. Well, I'm glad he left it up to the governors. Most of the republican governors are marginally more

sane than trump, and the democratic governors are totally sane. So we're a lot safer in their hands than if trump was actually in charge.

[C_U_L8R]

5. There we have it... he doesn't want the movement for equality to succeed.

[crickets]

10. That's the part that jumped out at me right away.

He's so tone deaf he likely doesn't realize what he said or how many votes he lost for good when he said it.

[babydollhead]

6. the "movement" is the "brotherhood of police, nazis, and armed white guys. n/t

"It's a movement, if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse," Trump said. "The only time its successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak."

the "movement" is the "brotherhood of police", nazis, and armed white guys.

[Lock him up.]

51. For short: his cult of violent cRackpots.

Lock him up.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. His staff likely has to repeatedly talk him out of using nuclear weapons on protestors

and/or looters.

[Alacritous Crier]

27. No doubt!

[volstork]

8. SO much

projection.

[dawg day]

9. I take it he doesn't mean arresting and trying killer cops--

>you have to arrest and try people,


Yeah, well, if prosecutors didn't wait 2 months to arrest white murderers of black men, maybe that would be helpful.

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Bob! BOB!

[cayugafalls]

12. In my opinion, Trump wants a class and political divide war.

He wants this to be about Left vs Right.

In his mind it is not race, gender, orientation that is the problem, it is LEFT vs RIGHT. Liberal vs Conservative.

That is the branding they have been working for the past 30 years and that is the branding they are sticking with. The Koch dollars have too much money invested in that branding to try and separate it now.

It is why we are hearing from AG Barr that they are going after Left wing organizations...

If they make it about race and we have a bunch of pictures of white guys starting the violence and looting they don't have a leg to stand on.

[maxsolomon]

19. I think you're spot on.

All the RW Propaganda my entire life has been smearing Liberalism itself. It's consumers are beyond reason and fact. Democrats are Leftists and Socialists and Communists Nazis and there's no differences and they hate America and guns are the solution.

The same as it ever was.

[Midnight Writer]

28. Exactly. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. ...sez the 400 hundred pound guy soiling his diapers sitting on the bed

in the WH basement.

[Renew Deal]

14. Trump his Assad act

Good luck with that. They tried tough tactics in NY, LA, Philly, etc and people still burned things almost at will.

There have been fires in Lafayette Park the last two nights. The cops watched them start them without getting involved.

[Brother Mythos]

16. I don't believe Turd has a mind worth keeping.

Maybe someone can find him another, better one, while he's hiding out in the Turd Bunker.

[maxrandb]

17. Man! I bet his pornhub search history is... creepy n/t

[In_The_Wind]

18. Yes, he has lost what little bit of a mind he had.

[moondust]

20. Violence begets violence.

Of course Precedent Dummkopf wouldn't know anything like that.

I'll bet his totalitarian pals like Bolsonazi and Kim are so proud of him. And daddy Vladdy is smiling at all the chaos his boy has done so much to create.

[maxsolomon]

21. Pritzker challenged him to step up his Leadership, and Trump whatabouted him on CV-19?

He's toxic. He's out of his depth.

[MuseRider]

22. He is perhaps the only human

and certainly the only "politician" who does not recognize that people thinking you are a jerk happens from time to time. Most of us might feel bad, we might say something to our partner about it but we go on. We do not change our moral core just to keep certain people of thinking we are jerks.

Trump cannot imagine anything but people worshiping him. Apparently enough have over all of his life that he thinks he deserves no criticism at all.

Telling the governors they might look like jerks seems to me something they are fully prepared to look like to a certain part of their constituency. Most of them probably would have chuckled at the notion that that might change things if they were not listening to the biggest jerk of all try to put that on them.

[Wawannabe]

47. Your comments are very thoughtful

And true. Right on!

[MuseRider]

53. Thank you.

I happen to think we are all jerks from time to time and being called one in certain circumstances would hurt but mostly we all just take it in stride. It seems he is completely incapable of taking anything in stride that is not a complement.

[SoonerPride]

23. They aren't hiding in bunkers. Who is weak again?

He told Gov of Michigan to go chat with armed white lunatics who wanted a haircut.

Can’t he strut out to his gate and chat with the protestors?

Why is he so weak?

[suegeo]

24. The puppet is starting a race war, Putin's orders.

He was installed to rip the country apart, to make us weaker.

The NSA was probably intercepting signals of bad foreign actors. Governor Walz (MN) didn't mis-speak when he said that. Foreign actors, white supremacists, hell the GOPee congressmen who went to Russia on the 4th of July are all working together with our enemies.

The GOPee could have rid us of this menace, but they didn't. Because they are in on it.

[orangecrush]

55. I agree entirely.

[smirkymonkey]

25. So wait, the sniveling coward hiding in a bunker in the White House basement is calling

the governors weak? They are the ones who have to dominate? Sounds like someone is seriously lacking a sense of irony.

[marlakay]

54. I will say he is great at projecting

And if his people believe his shit they deserve him but WE don’t!

[Initech]

26. You have to dominate? Is Trump hinting at some deeply hidden S&M fantasies?

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. It's the natural bully in him coming through - he hasn't lost anything. This is the essential Trump

He thinks the only purpose in life is to be superior to someone else, so you have to "dominate". He's never been a leader, just someone who intimidates - physically, when he was a kid (see the talk about his schooldays), or with the women he grabs, or with the family money and lawyers as an adult, and with that to back him up, with insults.

This is what everyone who voted for him wanted - a bully. Either to bully minorities, or to bully government employees into relaxing regulations that help the environment, safety at work, public health etc. rather than profits.

[lpbk2713]

30. Trump is guilty of Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Our Legislators are not doing their job.

[Brainfodder]

31. Top Shelf Jackass, same as always?

What good has he done?

Don't be shy, I can't think of anything?

[sarcasmo]

33. No deferments in a riot.

[SCantiGOP]

34. He told MN governor he had responded poorly to two things:

the riots, and the coronavirus.

Neither one of these are in any way Trump's fault, so remember that when you go to vote. He figures you won't really have anything to lose by then, since you will either be dead or have no civil liberties left anyway.

[KSNY]

35. Lots for the psychiatrists to unpack there...

Projection 101 from the (p)Resident who spent the previous evening cowering in his bunker.

[McCamy Taylor]

36. This is the Mafia's strategy. It is clear he is a mobster rather than a leader

Instill fear, not respect.

[DemoTex]

37. Trump's mental "Descent into the Maelstrom," without Poe's ratiocination.

Or, more aptly, Trump's descent into the toilet bowl on his way to becoming just another turd in the sewer.

[malaise]

38. That is exactly what will be done when he is arrested next year

Lock up this lunatic

[TygrBright]

41. And hang the guilty with piano wire! ::eyesroll:: n/t

[Xolodno]

42. As I wrote in another thread...

...Using aggressive tactics worked out really swell for the last Russian Tsar.

[Ford_Prefect]

43. Between Qanon, OAN and Stephen Miller Trump has no clue what is real or what to do.

Along with all the horrid, vile, pathological things wrong with him he is ultimately a FOOL. He cannot reason, nor reflect on his mistakes, nor can he imagine ideas he has not been spoon-fed. His point of reference changes mid-thought and mid-utterance as does his syntax. He is the ultimate example of mixed metaphors.

But mostly he is a FOOL. He is every kind of Fool there is and all of them at the same time.

To consider how Hugely a Fool he is you must take into account that he is personally responsible for nearly every American death from COVID-19 along with the cultural, economic, and cultural disasters presently playing out on our streets, in our communities and on-line.

Only the GOP could stand behind, enable, and excuse such an awful Fool.

[peggysue2]

44. More Projection

The Man Who Has Lost Control accuses Governors of being weak. The Man Who Hides in a Bunker insists dominance is the only way. The Man Whose Crown is Slipping Off His Wretched Toupee calls others Jerks.

The Psychopath-in-Chief Speaketh.

Lock the man up and throw away the key!

[mvd]

49. Trump is a bully

And you know what they say about bullies - they are really the weak ones.

[Grokenstein]

46. Tiny Toadstool's afraid.

I mean, he's always a quavering jello cup, but you can tell when he's extra scared shitless when the Tough Talk goes through the roof like this. He's basically demanding everyone jump up and protect (and die for) their king.

You ain't nobody's king, Tiny Toadstood.

[subterranean]

48. Reminds me of when he praised China for crushing the Tiananmen Square protesters.

From a 1990 Playboy interview:

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak."

[orangecrush]

56. He does not hold anything like absolute power

Over anything.

This is one great advantage we have.
