Today's "Witch Hunt" comment combined with the "Treated Worse Than Me" comment that ....

he made yesterday, do prove two important things.

1. His tweeting comments are ....Not presidential and not good for the U.S.A.
2. He appears to be "kinda off" "nuts" "gone" "lost it" "weird" "sick" "etc" "etc"

...Yes, he is mad about this..ok. But to make this "Witch Hunt" statement after yesterday's "Worse Than Me" comment proves that something wrong here. Why can't he stop these ridiculous comments? Once..well that happens, but two days in a row? What is going on? Can't someone stop this?

but in this job as President of the United States, I did think he would have some control over what he says and does.. You know, a campaign is one thing, but holding this office is something totally different. When you say such silly and untruthful things, and he is President, it almost becomes absurd. Don't you think this should be stopped?...Especially since these two comments are so untrue and ridiculous. These statement make things worse, not better.

6. When he was campaigning he was able to jerk off in public and HIS public got off on it.

So, he got off on THEM getting off...
Now his jerking off in public gets criticized, sooooo, he is not able to have a 'happy ending.'

THAT is what is driving him even nutsier.

Suspect he has just had a completely undemanding life, and was just unprepared for having an actual job. Because he has never been tested before, failure and panic were guaranteed.

Because he cannot control his mind and emotions. He has no self-discipline. He thinks that his thoughts are reality. To him, what he thinks is really really real. Thoughts fueled by negative emotions that are also out of control. It's too bad that as young man, he never had an authentic spiritual teacher to help him understand and get a better grip on his mind and emotions. But he didn't. So there he is, a sad unhappy man caught up in delusions that he thinks are real. Delusions about how great and glamourous he is.

He would be a lot happier if he simply resigned and resumed his life as a rich jet-setter. Played golf every day. Ate KFC chicken for dinner. Let this be a lesson about the fallacy of selfishness is virtuous.

He, of all people, should know that this is just a short 'gimme' putt to crazy, and definitely not a drive.

13. To me, all of Trump's hyperbole & spluttering these days points to panic. He sounds shrill.

Remember when he was campaigning--- he used HAPPY superlatives like "tremendous", "outstanding", "phenomenal", and "top of the heap". When he tired of syllables, he'd resort to "huge","terrific", and "great". There's no precision in his speech. There's no nuance. There's no evidence of a sound mind or imagination. He completely lacks a sense of humor & he's dull-witted. It worked during his campaign, somehow. Now that he knows that catastrophe is near, he's resorting to his SAD superlatives. Moronic things like "witch hunt" (he just now made that phrase up), and my favorite "no one's (EVER!!!) been treated worse than me in (THE HISTORY OF!!!) history!!!!&quot . I'd enjoy nothing more than to hear him try to talk through a ball gag.

I'm seeing a small, feral, cornered & rabid animal doing the "next best thing", but endangering the world. Not for nothing, I also suspect there are numerous Daddy issues involved.

I'm sorry. I don't think anyone can stop this noise.
