Trump's Probably Thinking Today: WTF Comes Next?

Watch for him to tweet this later:

"Geez! Why did I run for President, anyhow? I could have just kept on grifting, free as a bird. And now? Now? Now, everyone is spilling their guts. I am so screwed! WTF can I do?"

That Trump may seriously be considering exiling to Russia at this point, simply because there are still state-level charges that can and will be filed when the smoke clears, and all the pardoning power in the world won't protect his family or his organization.

Let's just hope we get Air Force 1 back though. In fact, maybe the US Military should remove all the top secret communications equipment from AF-1 before the next visit to Russia.

And hoped he could steal even more since the US is much richer than Russia

Just because his fixer entered a plea deal, his media mouthpiece and gatekeeper announced an immunity agreement, and the guy who heads up his phony charitable foundation did the same?

Like all psychopaths he believes he can lie and manipulate himself out of any situation.

The GOP is getting close to a dire tipping point due to changing demographics. The only way they can remain in power is to get an increasingly larger share of a shrinking demographic. That's why the GOP has no choice but to go farther right. Eventually they will squeeze out those in the middle with whom they can't survive. When the worm turns the entire GOP is going to crash and burn overnight. This reality is inevitable and it's only a matter of time. When they lose Texas, and they will inevitably lose Texas, stick a fork in them because they are done. Trump has the potential to make that happen sooner rather than later.

He's exhibited behaviors that indicate he can't do much more than anticipate treats; he ignores bad news until he can't any more. Then he blows up and forgets everything but a catch phrase. "No Collusion". "Unfair".
He doesn't seem to be able to put together cause and effect other than whatever makes him mad at the moment. Purely emotional responses.

Mango Mussolini is the envy of every other egomaniac; lots of attention every minute of every day. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. I suspect that's part of his motivation for running in the first place.

He just doesn't know the order that things will happen. Kind of makes you feel for the guy doesn't it? No, I suppose not.

I don't see Melania pulling an Eva, though.

She's holding out for the money.

If there is any...
