Trump is a 'deranged, defective personality' we're watching 'self-destruct in real time':

Trump is a 'deranged, defective personality' we're watching 'self-destruct in real time': George Conway

Snip

The most remarkable thing, noted Conway and anchor Chris Hayes, is that Trump had numerous chances to simply comply with the law and not face any jeopardy — and refused to do it at every turn.

"I watched [Trump] do all kinds of things," said Hayes. "Previous life and public life, where he seemed either to be breaking the law or flirting with breaking the law. He encouraged Russian sabotage, criminal sabotage of the election, right? Cheered it on. He attempted to blackmail a foreign leader used foreign policy like dirty tricks against his opponent. He attempted the first ever, essentially, coup in U.S. government history, so he can stay in power. All the motives are clear, he did not have to do this. It is so wild that he has brought this on himself by deciding to just hoard and steal a bunch of documents that weren't his and lie about it."

"And not only that, but he could have given those documents he had last year, and this would have been over!" exclaimed Conway. "It's incomprehensible. He's a sociopath, and he's a narcissist. He's a sociopath who knows no bounds, no rules, does not care about the rights of others, only cares about himself. Even if he cares about himself, you think you would know enough not to do this."

"He can't help himself," said Conway. "Everything belongs to him. He is the center of his own universe. We are all abstractions to him. We belong to him. The generals across the river at the Pentagon belong to him. They were my generals. These documents, they were my documents. The presidency, it is mine, I get to keep it. If I don't get to keep it, someone's stealing it from me. This is a deranged, defective personality that is self-destructive to the core, and we are watching him self-destruct in real time."

That’s a good one!

And all I see is that big fat dirigible exploding on flames and the inferno slowly collapses onto the ground.

Top it with a fake blond Elvis wig, and you’re there.

Locking him up will cause many of these deplorables to self-destruct. Shades of Jim Jones.

Adam Schiff's impeachment remarks come to mind. Schiff was right when he said, "You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less, and decency matters not at all."

However, unlike Gollum, TFG never went through a Smeagol stage. He's always been Gollum.

He's a fucking prick, period. He's not nuts, crazy, insane or deranged. He's an asshole, a self centered fucking asshole. He needs to be treated as such and so does anyone that is doing anything from grifting his bread crumbs to worshiping him like some deity. Fuck this asshole man, give me a break. Deranged crazy? He's just a fucking DICK!!!! Treat him as such. Comparing him to people with true mental health problems is total BULLSHIT!!!!

He is not just some jerk at the local bar starting a fight.

He is dangerous, ruthless and capable of inflicting huge damage to the US.
He already has.

The psychiatric community has been warning the world about Trump since day one.
And were ignored, sadly.

...whether through criminality or hubris. A neighbor was bragging yesterday about being in the 6th row to see him at a rally. He's an ego driven neighbor who hates trees. He's a miserable man who finds his joy in making others miserable

Of all the rights he seems to be concerned about, the "right to remain silent" doesn't seem to be one of them.

He's a dumbass.

Like he keeps shooting his mouth off on his shithole social media site, but he is definitely trying to peg himself as a martyr for the inevitable event when he's finally arrested. Though I am definitely here for his implosion!
