Trumps whole fake world is coming apart at the seams.

This is going to be like watching a major interstate pile up. Hang on, this is going to be one hell of a ride. Even Trump voters noticed the National Emergency declaration was really loony.

Trumps whole world is based on being a mirage, an illusion, a fake show. When the Democrats won the House he lost his cover. He is being completely exposed as a fraud. He can no longer hide his stupidity, his incompetence. He cannot compete with Pelosi because he is a fraud. He cannot handle the job of being president.

His mental illness is being exposed. He is going to make mistake after mistake. The pressure on him is going to increase and he will not be able to handle it. What happens then is anybody guess.

Hopefully the Mueller report will come out soon and the impeachment process will begin. If that happens, Trump may start looking for the easiest exit, Resignation.

He'll say he "Made America Great Again", whine that no one understood his greatness, and retire to Mar-A-Lago where he'll be free to play golf and tweet insane bullshit whenever he pleases

7. He's a 'day trader'

According to a CNN journalist at the Rose Garden announcement, Trump's response to all situations is only to look good at the moment, with no plan for tomorrow. He used the term day trader. Trump's poll numbers are like his stock market and he's only interested in an immediate uptick, letting tomorrow worry about itself.

I don't think he really cares about successfully building any wall with his emergency powers, he only cares that it looks good to his base that he declared it. What he says matters much more than what he does. FINISH THE WALL is the 2020 slogan and it doesn't matter if we only added fencing. The Defense Dept in charge of redirecting funds doesn't have the specifics yet, of course, but they really don't need to get any thing written up. They will slow roll the process so they can still do what s originally planned while pretending to be working on it.

The mirage works for the base. I'm only interested in GOTV for the rest of us.

9. I thought the "day trader" analogy was apt.

His former (I assume) friend Danny Deutsch says the same thing; that he only lives for this moment; to think himself winning that one moment.

How in hell is America going to reach that base? What happens to them when he is taken out? I guess a study of such cult is in order, but surely someone(s) in American leadership must be considering how to counter the propaganda?

8. that sing-songy stuff yesterday was very alarming

I'd like to know what a psychologist would think of that. Is that a possible function of dementia? Or was he just being "cute" in his own estimation?

that little song. When I listen to it, instead of Trump, I hear Hannity singing it to Trump.
