'Frantic' Trump freaking out because polls show Biden will win with a landslide

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “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 “president’s unmoored behavior is only going to get worse,” Robinson conceded everyone should be nervous about what the president will do next.

“I don’t just fear it,” Robinson began. “I mean, you can see it and, you know, at the moment you don’t 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.”

“It’s ramping up,” he continued. “He looks at the polls, he sees that he’s not just losing, he’s 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 — he’s 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 it’s going to get worse. It’s going to get more frantic and it will be a test of all of these next four weeks.”

He would launch nukes at NYC, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco if he could.

I’m not kidding.

We will find out who is in charge at Pentagon soon, when they get sick or dont.

Wish I knew who could stop him, surely the GOP wont...they will let him nuke somewhere, kill TENS OF MILLIONS

Knowing they’ll return the attack and assure that both countries are destroyed.

He is crazy enough to do it too.

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.
