> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > That’s IT?? ONE tweet from thump this morning?? Is he conscious? …I don’t actually think Trump cares. Trump loves drama. He pits people against each other and delights in watching them tear each other apart. And this election created drama! So it makes sense to me that Trump barely cares about the result. ---

Plus, Moore lost, so now he’s a genuine loser. Trump is going to distance himself from Moore pronto-like. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Plus, Moore lost, so now he’s a genuine loser. Trump is going to distance himself from Moore pronto-like. Trump politics 101. Comment how great Moore is and how great he’ll be for America. Then say you think he might lose. After the election, point to sentence 1 or sentence 2, depending on how he did. Claim victory for yourself. ---

Let’s also not forget his personal attacks against Andrew McCabe. Assuming we survive the Trump years and there’s ever another Democratic president, I’m sure that Fox News and the GOP will be perfectly cool with that person making personal attacks against career civil servants and trying to ensure that there are no Republicans working at the FBI. ---

I think Trump hates most billionaires because he knows that most billionaires are actually real billionaires and not fake ones like him. He knows Bezos is the real deal, and not reduced to borrowing money from Putin’s mafia. In fact I think that a large part of why Trump is seething about the Mueller investigation isn’t as much about the possibility of criminal convictions as it as a fear that he will eventually be exposed as being a completely fake billionaire, propped up by a kleptocratic regime. His entire adult life has been a giant lie that will, in time, be eventually exposed. The greatest lie being that he’s some sort of business genius. He’s genius, but not like a businessman - more like a criminal.
