Trump's Troubles

You mean, if he had just behaved rationally, honestly, ethically, and subordinate to the good of our country? Heck, if he had left office in 2020 with even a base sense of decency and honor, he would have a cake walk back to the White House in 2024. Instead, he acted like he always does because that is who he is.

 

Have you considered that he may be mentally ill? (Not that there's been any evidence of it!)

 

Let’s see what the charges are. They might be mail and wire fraud for raising money in this level of a lie. Although after reading the 1-6 Committee Report, the testimony is pretty damning.

 

Yes, I have, but until/unless he is diagnosed professionally in person, not by analysis, we can’t assume.

 

Andy McCabe on his podcast thinks that is the most likely, along with fraud on the United States re: the false electors. There was one more I don't recall. Not incitement

 

Yea, that was wild. Under the old rules of politics. Now, not so much. Netanyahu government won't even care - he gave them what they wanted

 

I can assume. I agree wholeheartedly with the late psychiatrist, columnist, and FoxNews commentator Charles Krauthammer that Donald Trump is "beyond narcissism."

 

Charles Krauthammer's passing may have marked the true demise of FoxNews.

 

They would have branded him a rino and voted him off the island had be not passed away.

 

I don’t disagree. What I mean is that he shouldn’t be let off the hook or given benefits of doubt based upon an assumed diagnosis.

 

I’ve always said this one was the real problem for Trump and if they’re out to get him, this is the low-hanging fruit. It’s hard to deny fake electors and calling states to find votes. He would have been fine if he had kept it at pressing the states to investigate fraud, but he went over the line.

IMO, the documents case is chicken feed compared to this one and this is the one that will take Trump out of the 2024 election. My belief is DeSantis will be the 2024 GOP nominee. His success or failure will depend largely on these two issues: the status of the economy and the status of the war in Ukraine in fall of 2024.

 

I think it will also depend on how many women turn out to vote against him.

 

It’s still such a low-ranking issue that DeSantis was able to win the female vote by 7 points in 2022. If a significant recession materializes or we have an undesirable outcome in Ukraine, those will be the polarizing issues, imo.

 

He signed the abortion ban after he was reelected.

 

Not to mention all the anti-LGBTQ stuff which the ladies ain't thrilled about either.

 

Rolling Stone has some of the details of Trump's target letter:

The letter mentions three federal statutes: Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States; deprivation of rights under color of law; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant. It does not offer further details, nor does it detail how the special counsel believes Trump may have violated the statutes, the source tells Rolling Stone.

What normal person wakes up in the morning and thinks, "I should be the leader of the free world and head the most powerful armed forces in history"?
They are all off the scale narcissists. You would have to be.

Is Trump significantly worse? I'll defer to the good doctor but don't fool yourself about the nature of politicians.

 

I do.
