only to turn around and 'save' them, like Stars and Stripes.

He has no respect for anyone; much less his subordinate running mate.

He can't control his mouth. Who tells their niece she's stacked? Remember Hope Hicks, "...best piece of ass?" The closer his ship gets to sinking, the more this sort of stuff will surface.

He is being hit so fast and furiously he has no time to react before the next barrage arrives. Karma is no longer knocking on the door - it has battered the damn door down and the walls are caving in.

He has lost all control and is experiencing chaos he has not created. He’s a bully and has no idea how to react when everyone is punching him.

that it was going to start hitting hard and fast after Labor Day, but it looks like it has started a bit early. I think he has no idea what is about to happen and there is no way that they are prepared to defend all that is about to come out. It's ramping up daily now.

Someone is about to get a very strong taste of their own medicine - I truly wonder if he will ride it out. Once he sees that he is being exposed with undeniable evidence and sees his poll numbers sink lower every day he is either going to walk away or be carried away. His ego will not know how to handle it.

Where in a rage of frustration, he grabs his own leg and rips himself in two.


(At least that’s the classic Brothers Grimm ending)

He sure looks like he's losing it, but I think he has enough awareness to realize that enhancing the crazy sets up whatever mob-reject attorney who agrees to defend him from a possible deluge of legal trouble to play the "diminished capacity" card. True or not, and he will of course assert his stable geniousness, it's another tool in the box to delay any possible sentence long enough that he will die of natural causes (adderol overdose) before he can be convicted
