2. Just before this clip, Dump mouthed something to Kristen Welker.

Folks on Twitter were trying to figure out what he said since the mic didn't catch it.

Some lip-readers interpreted it as "Bullshit. You didn't let me finish."

It seems he was really pissed at Welker, but he also knows he didn't change any votes last night. Sad!

Trump has zero cognitive awareness...he believes in his own majesty and his enablers will shower him with praise again reinforcing the greatness that is Trump...the Dunning-Kruger Effect with a side order of depravity and madness...

but I think Trump plays to an audience of one..Trump....he spews his rancid garbage, not for his repulsive hate-filled worshippers (they're already in the bag), but because he likes what he "hears" regurgitating from his fetid mouth ... for Trump it's verbal masturbation..

9. Nope - he looks upset. "Abe Lincoln, here..." and "learning to die with it..." ringing in his ears.

13. He's not used to hearing anything but praise.

People with personality disorders are notoriously sensitive to any criticism. They hear criticism even when none is intended. Trump has spent his life creating a yes-man bubble for himself, where he never has to hear anything but praise.

He's completely unsuited for politics.
