Donald Trump has never had a week like the week he just had. On the heels of the Supreme Courts knock-back and the Electoral Colleges knockout, some of his most reliable supporters Mitch McConnell, Vladimir Putin, Newsmax all acknowledged and affirmed the fact of the matter. Trump is a loser. This is new territory for Trump....
Hes never been in a situation in which he has lost in a way he cant escape from, Mary Trump, his niece and the author of the fiercely critical and hugely bestselling book about him and their family, told me the other day.

The only moment in his life that remotely compares to whats happening right now is early 1990, when Trump was mired in a high-profile marital breakup and billions of dollars in debt. That spring, according to Vanity Fair, Trump ordered in burgers and fries and stayed up late in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sometimes, he paged through periodicals looking for his name.
But even when he was all but broke, he got to keep living in the penthouse of Trump Tower, the building that had made him famous. He was always there in his castle, Alan Marcus, Trumps publicist later on in the 90s, told me. This time, hes getting evicted.

This is the collapse of one of the world's worse psychopathic narcissists EVER, in line with those like Saddam Hussein and Napoleon.
Some fear he may be on the way to a complete mental breakdown. Fingers crossed that he won't do something even more extreme and insane before inauguration day. We just want him gone for good.
