Steve Schmidt tweet about Trump, minutes ago. Love this...

Schmidt was commenting on this tweet from Peter Maer:






This was the image captured by an ⁦@AP photographer as a rather disheveled looking Donald John Trump returned from his “fun night” in #Tulsa .







Schmidt's response:






THE AGONY OF DEFEAT. Corpulent, disheveled, weak, broken and defeated, Trump returns to the White House. He thrilled a 6200 person crowd of cult members who cheered his slow shuffle down the West Point ramp and his dexterity at water sipping.

He snorted a bunch of Adderall, like he always does, for his speech, and it wore off. He probably snorted more on thw plane but he was too depressed from his failure, so it didn't work.

I can't say I'd credit Trump with this kind of advance planning, but does he use this footage from last night as the before-and-after sort of ad with him basking in the triumphant cheering of a crowd: "He was down, and his enemies thought he was out. But like Rocky rising from the canvas, Donald Trump has battled back to fight for you and Keep America Great!"

I don't think so, because Trump absolutely despises weakness and implying that he was anything but the Best all the time is anathema to him. As it is, I'm going to enjoy that solitary shuffle of glum defeat for an inordinately long time.

I’m surprised at my reaction to his most public humiliation. I DON’T feel sorry or sympathy for him! I don’t believe he’ll learn a thing or alter his behavior one iota, and I expect him to retaliate to the fullest measure of his ability.

And things are actually going to get worse for him.

Never let that SOB forget he is a loser and despised by millions. He needs to be dogged every step of the way. He needs a big dose of the medicine he has so gleefully handed out for years. He will crack and appears to be not far from it in the photos from last night. Who wouldn’t have wanted a peek at what he did when he dragged his ass in the White House? Did he order up a Diet Coke and three scoops? Did he slump in his favorite chair and sob? Did he scream and yell? Hope someone squeals and tells us. After all we’ve been through with that asshat, we deserve to know about his suffering. I know, I know. It is not nice to feel that way but under the circumstances we deserve to know what happened after the Walk of Shame.

Call me mean-spirited but seeing Trump sad and disappointed made me smile. He thought he was going to have an over-flow crowd of adoring supporters but instead got a stadium only a little over one-quarter full! LOL! Poor little dotard Donnie! My heart bleeds. What a blow to his huge ego! I love it! I hope it happens more and more.
