Is it me or is Trump not acting like a loony

[leftyladyfrommo]

bird anymore? Was it all just an act?

[live love laugh]

1. It's an act.

[BoRaGard]

2. He's a con artist

He (R) has been suckering people his whole life.

You watch tomorrow, Veteran's Day. He will be out front and center wrapped in flags and strutting his stuff such as it is, to try and prove he's a patriot who respects our Armed Forces, Veterans, and War Dead -- the very people he trashed as "suckers and losers."

That's who he is. Those are, alas, the ascendant republicon values.

[True Dough]

3. Maybe he needs a bit of time

to regenerate his true inner asshole. It would be exhausting to act like a raving lunatic every single day.

[LisaL]

9. Not exhausting to act like a lunatic, if you are in fact a raving lunatic.

[GreenWave]

4. We used to call that "bucking for sympathy."

a phrase for panhandling that did not catch on.

[Shrek]

5. His tweet yesterday about Haley and Pompeo didn't have a single insult

It was actually borderline polite.

Very out of character so I'm wondering if the new chief of staff took his phone away.

[LisaL]

10. I don't think he actually wrote the tweet.

NT

[Rebl2]

18. Exactly

[maxrandb]

6. And the "normalizing" starts...NT

[Lovie777]

7. He's insane......

[Kaleva]

8. He's a salesman, an opportunist, a carnival barker.

He'll do what he thinks he needs to do to improve the bottom line.

He can be your sworn enemy one day and your best friend the next. It depends on what he thinks he gain the most.

[defacto7]

11. He's a sociopathic liar ...

It's what he does. He can't help it. Poor Donald. Life is has been so hard for him that it twisted his mind. It's life in this cruel world that has made him be that way. It's not his fault.

No. He's a psychopath. He was born that way.

[Dem4life1234]

12. He's a piece of trash con artist sociopath

He would have ran as a Dem if it benefitted him. Didn't he try for third party? He found his worthless home in the Rethug party cause they are lowlives.

[duncang]

13. Might be because he's not talking as much medicine

Now that he doesn’t have to worry about going to jail. He’s freaking out, quick give him his medications. He’s falling asleep quick give him the others.

[2naSalit]

14. He got what he wanted...

He'll be happy for a week or two then it's back to full blown crazy. He is still acting crazy, he's just not doing rallies.

[coffeenap]

15. Could he have realized he is now disposable?

[Emile]

16. He will go down in history as biggest con artist in the world.

[Ysabel]

17. He is a con and he is insane...

I think he is tired he sure looked tired the last I saw online I think he's taking a rest sleeping a drunk off but will wake back up sometime soon probably (or not hopefully) and start acting like a raving mad man again and oh yeah start drinking again...

how in the hell do these horrible people manage to stay alive so long ???

Kissinger has looked like he's over a 100 forever and ever and Cheney how old is he and oh who else oh never mind I don't want to get all depressed again (oh here's a nicer thought GWB looks like he's starting to shrivel up up and a away hey and my beautiful balloon cartoon imagination floats off feeling better) - ah...

[FakeNoose]

19. He can't grift for campaign donations anymore, now he's looking for next big score

So he temporarily is acting "sane"... until further notice.

Chump no longer owns or manages the "Trump" international hotel in Washington DC and that was a major source of bribes while he was in the White House last time. I'm sure he's looking for another perfect swindle like that, but these things take time.

His son-in-law Jared was in charge of emoluments before, and he's not coming back.

'Memba this?
