During an appearance on MSNBCs Morning Joe, longtime Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson said the floor has fallen out from under Donald Trump as his re-election hopes grow increasingly distant and a Joe Biden landslide appears imminent.
With Morning Joe co-panelist Jonathan Lemire noting that the president has not done any on-camera appearances all week, choosing to do call-ins to Fox News instead, Robinson said the president is not in good shape both healthwise and politically. With MSNBC host Joe Scarborough quoting from a Robinson column saying presidents unmoored behavior is only going to get worse, Robinson conceded everyone should be nervous about what the president will do next.
I dont just fear it, Robinson began. I mean, you can see it and, you know, at the moment you dont know if this is, in fact, being boosted by the steroid Dexamethasone that gives people the energy and this euphoria and frankly makes them a little crazy a lot of the time.
Its ramping up, he continued. He looks at the polls, he sees that hes not just losing, hes losing badly and it looks as if the floor has fallen out from under him. I mean, the numbers we have seen over the past week have been landslide numbers for Joe Biden ... and Trump hes frantic about this.
So, you know, calling yesterday morning for his predecessor and his opponent and his previous opponent to be arrested ... Lambasting his secretary of state for not properly persecuting Hillary Clinton, and expressing the disappointment in the head of the FBI that he installed, for not getting this job done. But its going to get worse. Its going to get more frantic and it will be a test of all of these next four weeks.

(10,828 posts)Trump's mania is reaching a fevered pitch. He's dangerous now but there's every reason to think he'll go ballistic when he loses, then attempt to set the whole country on fire in his wake. The man's proven himself vindictive, so we need to be prepared for some extraordinary ugliness once the election is called.
Republicans could cut him off at the knees if they were willing. I'm not expecting this because as a group they've shown themselves as spineless enablers.
The period between the election and the inauguration, until Biden takes the oath, is going to be very challenging.
It's another buckle up moment.
PS: Just heard a clip with Ted Cruz say that the election is likely to be a bloodbath (electorally) for the GOP. Of Watergate proportions. The rats are getting very squirmy.
