Trump conceded via tweet this morning, and then took it back when everyone dunked on him and media reported on it as actual concession. > > > Jesse Watters Primetime @jesseprimetime > ---

I asked in the Clusterfuck II thread (I think it was there) if this is a manifestation of dementia. I can’t picture the 40- or 50- year old DJT carrying on like this, embarrassing himself in front of the whole world. I realize the presidency is the biggest prize and therefore the biggest loss of his life, and I can see a younger DJT being this destructive (or wanting to be), but the complete lack of judgment is cringeworthy to the max. Is this what happens when a narcissist goes off the deep end while suffering from dementia? ---

Maybe his advisors are telling him he can still turn it around if makes a big enough fuss. Or more likely IMO he and the GOP just want to make everything as difficult as possible for Biden so Americans will vote the GOP back in big time at the midterms and 2024. He doesn’t care if non-trump fans think he’s embarrassing himself. I wish someone would give trump his binky and some chamomile tea and put him to bed, but I guess nothing would counteract whatever he’s snortin’ in the wee hours. This is very harmful. Not only is the Biden admin going to be severely hobbled, but there are eventually going to be direct and indirect deaths from the unrest the GOP is fomenting, but then they can just say they didn’t mean violence. There will be no consequences to them legally and they won’t be punished in the voting booth either. ---

I’ve been reading reports that privately he knows he lost. All his lawsuits and tantrums to the contrary are just political theater to fire up his rabid base. It’s all he has now; he can’t give up the adulation of his adoring mob, so he keeps on pushing the fiction of a rigged election, not giving one shit about the damage it’s doing to the incoming Biden administration and Democracy itself. And as @Skypist said. “there are eventually going to be direct and indirect deaths from the unrest the GOP is fomenting”. It’s a disgusting and anti-American display, and will cement trump’s reputation in history as the worst, most divisive, most dangerous President we’ve ever had. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I can’t picture the 40- or 50- year old DJT carrying on like this, embarrassing himself in front of the whole world. I don’t see this as any more embarrassing than anything else he’s done, right down the the whole Birtherism nonsense. He’s been acting like a fool for a decade now, and doesn’t seem to care that he’s getting laughed at. (Actually, he probably cares very much, but not enough to change his behavior.) ---

Trump is surely worried about SDNY, and his money stream going dry. I also wonder if he is also worried about Putin writing the last chapter of _The Art of the Deal_.
