Trumps body language just now as he took some questions is telling...

As soon as he stopped talking and started taking questions he crossed his arms tightly, and they remained tightly crossed until he finished allowing questions.

Obviously he feels isolated and attacked and was preparing to isolate himself from the truth even further. This subconscious tell demonstrates how vulnerable he feels.

He's so transparent and is utterly oblivious to it.

3. He is angry, defiant, defensive. Not a good combination.

This is a person who is evil, mentally ill, with a dementia.
He will be dangerous when cornered.

4. Yes, he's gone his whole adult life without being fully accountable for anything he's done wrong

...and he's been insulated by his money from the realities of life. He's ALREADY dangerous because of these two things. If he feels cornered, he'll become absolutely, terrifyingly destructive to anyone and anything he perceives as even slightly opposing him. Things are going to get a LOT worse.

Things are going to get much worse, I agree. He will lash out and destroy as much
as he can.

six year old caught in a lie. Notice how his demeanor has become more defensive with each passing day this week.

Seems fair, since I imagine him in a straitjacket all the time.
