I called it. In a recent post i said trump would call for the end of the filibuster.

Trump will do anything to win. He does not care about laws, rules, the constitution. He is a pure narcissist. He is mentally ill.

Thank goodness the republicans in the senate said they will not remove the filibuster.

he will not be able to get what he wants. It will drive him mad because he is a narcissist. The investigations will also inflame his narcissism. This could get very serious.

Therefore, when their decision is blocked whatever blocked their decision has to be wrong. It must be removed. It's bad.

This is how i knew trump would call for the end of the filibuster. Watch him, He does this all the time. Textbook narcissist. There is no cure for trumps mental illness.
