Who knows if this is an accurate report but it is still fun to think about a desperate deposed tyrant, growing old, all alone, and ignored.

He's upset--assuming this report is true--because he no longer has immunity for his grifting or the power to punish enemies outside the KGOP.

Plus, the number of people willing to kiss his rotund posterior is also diminished.

Otherwise, I don't really care, do U?

1. Trump misses the status and the power of the office.

2. Trump lost his immunity from prosecution and civil liability.

3. Trump misses flying to his golf courses every Thursday/Friday. Now he's stuck at them. Sort of like being grounded, literally.

4. Trump misses grifting from the government and donors.

5. Trump misses being reported by the media, good or bad, several times a day. He's now mostly ignored.

6. Trump misses Twitter, etc. to speak to "his people".

7. Trump misses calls from leaders around the world. He now feels irrelevant.

8. Trump misses coordinating with Senate and congressional leaders and others.

9. Trump misses seeing Ivanka every day.

She was a former executive who was just speculating. Honestly, I doubt he is doing anything but golfing and eating.

He and his family have never paid a price in 50 years of crimes. I doubt he thinks anything will come of any of these things.

It's comforting to know that several of the people around him from his past extrapolate to the same outcome because they know the personality. I mean Cohen, Mary Trump, the woman quoted for that tweet, all are on the same page.

The kindest resolution for the world would be blown gaskets.

I would note, psychology for all its knowledge and categorization, still has not solved the problem of dictators. They've been the same throughout history, yet countries and civilizations still rise and fall by them.

Trump hated every part of being president except for the attention and power. He was stuffing his fragile ego with global-sized gobs of attention, gorging himself on imagined adoration of the entire world.

And then it stopped.

He's now living a narcissist's worse nightmare: to be ignored.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

After failing, can not buy his way out of his failure, he can't cheat his way out of his failure, and can not bluff or bully his way out of his failure. So now he has to face it; it must be a great shock to his psyche. To hell with his feelings.

Total nutcase!

BUT,
As an aside, I don’t think the person interviewed knows what Trump is actually doing. According to another news article about the same subject, the insider was asked “how do you think Trump is reacting”. Then the insider uses present tense to describe what he thinks is going on with Trump. So it makes it seem like we are getting an actual insider view of Trump’s behavior when instead it is just conjecture.

But like I said, I hope he IS going berserk. And it sounds like a fair assumption to make. After all, look at how he behaved in office, demanding people make calls and fire people for him. Threats, intimidation, the whole “blizzard milkshake and Baked Alaska and Banana split and ice cream sundae with cherries on top” meltdown.

To predict that Trump is melting down right now.

I was just making the point that the insider didn’t know first hand. But, their opinion is most likely spot-on.

Here’s hoping Trump is feeling panic like never before in his life. The rest of the American people, and some other countries as well, have been in a state of panic since he won the election in 2016. It’s been a long 5 years.

Remember, after the election he was surprised he couldn’t run the country part-time from Trump Tower.
