He can dish it out but he can't take it. He can come out and accuse people of treason and all sorts of crazy stuff but when someone like Speaker Pelosi, comes out and accuses him of a "cover-up", he totally loses his shit!
Why did it piss him off so much? Because he is guilty of a "cover-up". He took the Barr conclusion of the Mueller Report, disregarding the Democrats, and declared himself "totally exonerated". Then he tells the Congress they don't have a right to investigate him. He doesn't have to show his finances or his tax returns or permit anybody, that works or has worked in his White House, to be questioned or investigated by the Congress. He tells them to ignore subpoenas. At the same time, he says, 'All of you know that I am the most transparent President ever."
He made that comment in front of the press today. I wondered how many were shaking their heads when he said that. Peter Alexander, of MSNBC News, asked if he was so transparent, why wouldn't he release the documents that the Congress has requested and permit Robert Mueller to testify?
Speaker Pelosi came out earlier today and accused him of a "cover-up", which is true, and he lost it. Rarely have we seen the rage and fear that he showed today. Pelosi got under his skin very bad. It's like she gave him a gentle slap and he went down for the ten-count....

(27,321 posts)He's been catered to, placated, enabled, soothed and agreed with by pretty much everyone he has encountered. I don't think he has the first clue about how to accept responsibility, face reality or be accountable and corrected.
I just keep waiting for him to fly into a terminal tizzy, and disappear into a noxious cloud of sulfur.

(11,767 posts)Trying to escape the truth of who he is... a underachieving brat born to wealth, who would likely be in prison were it not for his father's and family's wealth.
He is the epitome of the phrases "Money can't buy you happiness" "Money can't buy you love" and "Money can't buy you class"
He has none of the above and somewhere deep deep down, when he is alone away from all the sycophants he surrounds himself with and the chaos, he knows that he has nothing.

(33,643 posts)Bill, something he promised in 2016 that he's done nothing on, and really doesn't want to (esp cause Master Mitch doesn't want it) ... this is a shallow, lame attempt to make it look to the public like we didn't 'get infrastructure' because of the Democrats and their investigations.
Not saying he's not also worried, but ...

(102,261 posts)They're like Cartman from South Park. They talk some of the most vile, awful, hateful trash you've ever heard, and if you so much as tap them on the arm, they scream and go crying to mommy. If you want some fun, just Google TPUSA and click on news items. Nearly all of them are from Breitbart screaming about how they're victims of "violent leftists" even though they got nothing more than something like their signs get ripped down, or someone screams at them for being racists. These fucking people.

(11,498 posts)Mulvaney had already said after the first infrastructure meeting that: It Wasn't a Happening Thing.
Because despite all the excuses and finger pointing, they don't want to pay for infrastructure.
So yeah, Pelosi's comment probably got under his skin. But if it wasn't that, he would have blamed the Dems for failing to get on board with his stupid trade (non) deals or even more stupid Wall or whatever.
He'll never deal on anything until the Dems show him the adoration he expects and/or say he's completely exonerated.
And that's really not going to happen!

(5,909 posts)in Mobile. I noticed that all the flags were at half mast and commented that someone must have died. My next comment was that maybe it was tRump. I made a bet that he has no idea how many people could not care less if he dropped dead on the spot in the Rose Garden.
Ordinarily admitting the depth of my loathing that includes a death wish would make me feel guilty. Not for tRump. He is so vile, disgusting and deceitful, I feel no guilt. He has brought out the feeling of loathing in thousands (maybe millions) of people. Maybe we need to start a club. Lots of us gather here at DU pretty regularly. Only requirement to join is to despise tRump.

(16,729 posts)He's getting less and less able to handle this stuff. He's going to end up hanging himself with a blowup I bet.
He has no self control and the pressure is building. I'd say I'd enjoy it but considering the hell the country is going through - I just want it over.

(19,312 posts)He loves picking fights and insulting people behind their backs. He always has someone beside him to defend his cowardly ass though. He's too big a coward to do anything face-to-face with anyone, male or female.
