He loves rallies where he can hold court and people act like he's the man.
If he holds a rally all he's got is to declare that the elections were rigged. Except that the ones that were rigged to help the Republican candidate - the Dems beat the rig with overwhelming numbers and tenacity. When we vote and fight - we can win.
So he has to sit in the White House and brood until he pulls another idea out of his ass.

(46,166 posts)He's ashamed. It's an emotion foreign to him. It's so bad that he failed his duties in Paris and on Veterans Day. It's really bad. His ego is in tatters. It makes him dangerous.
But my point is that he's not holding rallies and I think that I know why.

(20,242 posts)two weeks tomorrow and dislocated my left shoulder. I yelled bloody murder when they 'manipulated' it back into place. Saw a followup doc today. It could've broke and surgery, but this was bad enuff. I'm doing my level best. The past several days I started to enter into deep sadness.
The dogga daughter ran along side of me husband says [I think not]. I'm naturally clumsy and flip flops don't help.
I'm weary and have to abbreviate some parts of my life. Laundry and chores take the stuffins outta me.
Forgive me gals and guys. I'm reading but can't think straight to post.
Love youse,

You know like saying you don't know the guy you appointed to head the DOJ.
eleny
(46,166 posts)The thing is he can't hold a rally without being the guy who helped lose the House for the Republicans. We've won close to 40 new seats. Every darned day there's another reminder as another Dem is declared the winner.
I read that his father brought him up with the philosophy that you're either a killer or a loser. Well, he didn't kill off the Dems, so he's crippled.

(6,709 posts)for everyone to see. He's not alone: I don't think we've heard from his odious spawn for a week either, esp. donnie jr.
eleny
(46,166 posts)No peeps from his peanut gallery. And it's not like they can all have a White House meetup to console each other. They don't seem to be that kind of family.

(50,269 posts)It appears the only way he'll stay out of jail over the next 6 years is to be POTUS. The second he's out, he's going to be facing both state and federal indictments. Now the tide is turning and 2020 is not a sure thing for him anymore. He's probably stewing about what a fool he was to become so irked by Barack Obama's Press Club roast that he ran for President as revenge. Don might have gone his merry way bilking and fleecing and scamming people out of their life savings until he died. Now he's likely to end up in the GOP wing of a federal prison. It's nice his favorite color seems to be orange.

Grasswire2
(13,569 posts)That will explain everything. He has a deficit and no way to fill it now.
Like shanny said above, he's got loser tattooed on his forehead.
He can't feed the beast that's a bottomless pit. Maybe he can get himself one of those applause machines like they had in "A Face In The Crowd".

(56,828 posts)not nearly as frequently, but that's about all he enjoys these days so the staff will schedule some for him just to get him out of the White House.
