Trump has completely flipped his lid. It’s a little scary seeing the president of the United States become psychotic

In response to Trump tweeting (among this morning's other crazy tweets):

I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda. This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!

1. Not if you are a Rethug.

[paleotn]

38. SCOTUS picks and tax cuts

are more important to them than the country or its people. Rethugs would sell their mothers and children for power and money. That's simply how they roll.

[honest.abe]

2. Very scary.

Mr Mueller, please hurry. We may not have much time.

[femmocrat]

3. It is more than a little scary. "Fake books"???

This is why the 25th Amendment should be invoked. If we only had a cabinet and congress with spines.

Actually, it should have been invoked a long time ago.

[thbobby]

4. Fake Books - They need to be burned Herr trump

Lucky for America that trump is so stupid. But so is the gop cult who worship him. Scary times.

[FakeNoose]

18. Trump's own books are all fake - he never wrote a word of them

Some hired writers did all the work and allowed Cheeto to call himself the "author." They were paid of course, and they also signed NDA's to prevent them from telling the truth about.

Tony Schwartz wrote the entire book "The Art of the Deal" and had to keep quiet for 30 years. But the NDA expired in 2016 just before the election, and he's been telling everyone how unqualified/crazy Cheeto is ever since then. Several DU posts are very good reads, if you search for Tony Schwartz.

5. We still have several days of the flag @ half mast...

and funerals and adoration for someone not him and all this legal stuff to which he responds most ignorantly... he's circling the drain really fast now.

[Iggo]

10. I'm waiting for him to use his legal problems as a distraction from McCain.

He'll make himself bleed his own blood.

A dead guy is whipping his ass, and I'm very happy about that.

[2naSalit]

11. Whatever gets the job done

this is looking like a taste of sweet revenge, a meltdown is coming and we aren't even to the weekend yet. And Aretha's funeral too, I think that bothers him some too, He can;t handle the idea that we just aren't into him.

[ailsagirl]

20. The thought of dump becoming radically unhinged is frightening, IMO

terrifying?

[herding cats]

23. I keep thinking he'll leak the Access Hollywood tape soon as a distraction from his legal woes

[Iggo]

26. He's moving on from "Look how crazy I am" to "Look how stupid I am."

Not a lot pf places to go after that.

[Maeve]

6. "become" psychotic? Too late for "become" eom

[2naSalit]

12. right?

I call this meltdown mode.

[yuiyoshida]

30. Totally!

yup!

[ailsagirl]

19. I think he's been that way for some time

[Doreen]

34. My first immediate thought.

[MineralMan]

7. It's a LOT scary!

[yuiyoshida]

31. Scary knowing a madman has Nukes at his fingertips...

I suppose if he wanted to blow up an American City he could do so... or another country, just to prevent the focus on himself... Plus, lets face it, Trump is an Asshole. I tweeted him and told him so, but if he saw it, he would probably wear it as a badge... yes, yes he is a total asshole.

[moriah]

8. Coming from the guy whose triumphant whoop then made him seem so unPresidential...

... that he lost the successive primaries he really could have won....

I feel his pain to see such an obviously insane man in the Oval Office. "You made a huge meme about my 'scream', but this dipshit's behavior is tolerated? SMH."

[Girard442]

16. Imagine that you went to someone's birthday party and sang "Happy Birthday".

Now, imagine that someone had miked you and made a video where the volume of your singing was way boosted over everyone else -- and then complained that you were a nutjob who tried to drown everybody else out with your lousy singing.

That was the "Dean Scream".

[moriah]

46. You were offended by me saying Dean has far more reason to resent media swiftboating?

... the media exaggerated his own exclamation of triumph and turned it into A Thing when it wasn't, claiming it made him unfit for office...

But this orange shitgibbon started out saying he could get away with shooting people, has only gotten crazier, the media isn't exaggerating a damn thing, and he still has supporters?

I feel for Dean. Genuinely.

[jaysunb]

49. My apologies...I misread your post. n/t

[maddiemom]

42. I'm afraid Trump could have gotten away with "the Scream." His followers would have loved it.

(giant CRINGE). Trump gets away with TRULY deplorable behavior every day. Much as Hillary was criticized, she hit on the really correct term for the Trump crazies.

[moriah]

48. That's what's so obscene. Replaying a one-time moment with bad sound design...

... over and over again used to eliminate even good people from primary contention.

In 2008, word salad interviews were mocked mercilessly, and she rightly took down any chance the GOP had.

2015-2016, and being both outrageously unPresidential and unintelligible lets you win the nomination, let alone enough states to even be close? I don't get it. I really don't.

[Guilded Lilly]

9. More than a little scary. Horrifying. I cannot fathom how he is still in...

office.
Even knowing the Republican Party is so vile and corrupt, their lives and families are just as susceptible to violence and destruction with the downfall of the Cretin-ruined U.S. as all the minorities and other citizens they now hate so openly.
Mueller must know that the twisted psychological freak is our biggest domestic terrorist.

This clear insanity must be ended.

[sarcasmo]

13. Become? Trump has always been Psychotic.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I wish he would just stroke out and get it over with.

I'm so tired of this bloated, orange drama-queen I could scream.

[handmade34]

15. "It's a LOT scary seeing..."

no action whatsoever by the people tasked to take care of this

[lunatica]

17. It's way more than a little scary now

His talk about the Left being violent is very scary. He really is inciting his hoard base to violence against us by making us out to be the violent ones.

He can do it too. Already hate crimes have risen in this country, because he gives them permission to act out their racism. They’ll easily follow his suggestion that the only way to deal with us is violence.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Become?

about “fake news”!

[niyad]

25. "becoming" psychotic? he has been for a very long time.

[Grasswire2]

27. now he's saying that Lester Holt "fudged" that interview. nt

[Grammy23]

28. Nobody likes me, everybody hates me...

Think I’ll go in the garden
And eat worms!

That is tRump. A scared, whiny little kid who can’t always get his way. Boo hoo! 😡😩😢

[Golden Raisin]

29. "Truth doesn't matter to them."

That a lightning bolt from Heaven did not immediately strike him down to burnt ashes as those words escaped his lips! The man who lies 24/7 talking/lecturing about Truth! And his constant Psych 101 projection of his own faults and fears onto others. On another topic I wonder if he's gonna' make it through the Washington, D.C. McCain Funeral pomp without completely losing it?

[Initech]

32. Uh... he was already psychotic before he became president.

He's just gone from zero to 10,000,000,000,0000 pretty quickly!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

33. He's using the "enemy of the people" meme again. Stalin would be proud.

[watoos]

35. Stalin would be proud

Something I found out today, when Kruschev took power he outlawed the use of the phrase. Kruschev was one crazy bastard but apparently not as crazy as Trump.

39. He'll be okay once he figures out who ate all the strawberries from the officers' mess.

41. LOL

40. The baby is in the corner

[maxsolomon]

44. He is in no way Psychotic.

He is a pathological liar. He is a remorseless Narcissist.

But he knows exactly what he's doing in hammering at the free press, Mueller, Sessions.

He's moving to save himself, which is the only thing he cares about. It's an entirely rational strategy.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. One way we can try to help...

(or at least make ourselves feel a little better for a while)....

Report his malfeasance to Twitter, here: https://help.twitter.com/en/contact-us

I reported this link: twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1035122954697433088 (add https:// in front)

and showed it as harassment to "others" and wrote a civil sentence or two detailing my objection to his demonization of our main-stream media (one of the primary pillars of democracy) and requested that he and his staff be removed from Twitter.

This may not do a bit of good (especially since I'm not a member of Twitter), but it seems that if enough of their customers complained, he might at least get a stern warning.

I had to go on his Twitter page to retrieve the link shown above and almost got ill from the brief exposure. Congress needs to pass a law that prevents public servants from using social or public media to spread highly biased propaganda and lies.

This shit must stop..........

[Totally Tunsie]

47. The liar calls everyone else liars. He's demented.

All his talk about violence is his overt way of suggesting and inciting violence. He creates the very hate crimes he lyingly says he deplores. He's encouraging - no, commanding - his base to rise up in anger to provoke those who don't adore him. He won't be satisfied until he can watch the uproar and blame others for that which he started. He's dangerous and needs to be removed before lives are lost.

[BlueWI]

50. And...so what's next?

Wait for the midterms?

Wait for Mueller?

Paving the rhetorical ground for impeachment sounds more timely. Otherwise, we will continue the president's term and hope for the best. With luck, we move on in 2021 to a better president.

Not a great situation. But we knew that.

[GoCubsGo]

51. And, that's not even the scariest part of it.

What's really frightening is that the very people who could do something about this, are not--because he allows them to fulfill their own corrupt agendas. A pox on them all.

[Nitram]

52. "a little scared?" Now THAT'S an understatement...
