30. People who were "swayed" to vote for Trumpy
Sat Jan 14, 2017, 12:25 PM
Jan 2017

should be backing away by the hundreds of thousands by now. Those who thought that they were taking a chance cannot be happy with Trumpy's conduct. His behavior is outrageous, unbefitting a president, and very predictable. When news anchors are joking about when Trumpy will go on another twitter jag, you know he's in trouble.

Trumpy hates. It's in his personality. He does a lot of hating. If anyone doesn't think he's their living, breathing orgasm, he hates them in return. If he's not adored and worshipped, then "they" have a problem and they deserve to be belittled and denigrated.

That's Trumpy.

This phenomenon is something like the glowing popularity that takes place with a musician or group that breaks through the public consciousness with a big musical hit, but then veers off into obscure musical genres and loses that once-excited audience. Trumpy had a sensational entrance into the national political scene, but is now cementing his image as a vindictive, arrogant, deceptive, and petulant asshole-- not to mention the fact that he can't stop lying. And BECAUSE there are portions of the press that are still "free", Trumpy's reactive tendencies are becoming more rigid and even more predictable. He's developing a caricature of himself. Only those rabid "true believers" will be left standing with Trumpy within a year. He will fight his own self-made image until he destroys himself.

Early in Trumpy's campaign, when writers were expressing concern that Trumpy was mentally unstable with a personality disorder, THIS is what they were predicting.
