Apparently his own aides have warned that this “would be hard to put in place.” Hell, it would be easy. Just set up a cot next to the Presidential bed, and a rotating team of lawyers packs their jammies (men only, for obvious reasons) and spends the night. At full rate, of course, billed to the gummint. Light sleepers only. They fix Donald’s phone so that when he thinks he’s posting to Twitter, the message is mirrored on the lawyer’s phone, and there’s a 20-second delay before it goes to the internet. Wait. First there has to be a motion detector silent alarm on Trump’s phone so the lawyer knows when Donnie picks it up… hmmm… this is getting complicated. I’m sure we have, or can develop the technology. Money is no object. If The Trumpster wants to know why a lawyer is sleeping on a cot next to him, the reason is “because you’re so important!” He won’t question that. Okay, this idea is a work in progress. All it needs is money. ---

He also feels that his overseas junket hit “a home run, no matter were we are!” And took credit for the arms deal with the Saudis (years in the making) and for getting NATO to agree to pay more (which they agreed to do for Obama in 2014).

Trumpykins tweeted this: > [@](#): > > Bringing hundreds of billions of dollars back to the U.S.A. from the Middle East - which will mean JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! I think this is a reference to the Saudi arms deal, which is apparently set at $350 billion. The phrasing is odd though, like he just won a trade war with them or something. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Trumpykins tweeted this: > > I think this is a reference to the Saudi arms deal, which is apparently set at $350 billion. The phrasing is odd though, like he just won a trade war with them or something. The Donald sees EVERYTHING in terms of _winning_ or _losing_. Seriously. That is the template he imposes on every transaction and interaction. It explains everything about him. Even a simple handshake is an arm-wrestling contest that he must win. It explains why he called terrorists “losers.” Loser is the deepest, ugliest, and this is key, the most **wounding** insult he can hurl at anyone. In Trump World, _loser_ is the ultimate malediction, damnation, denunciation. I imagine he stands up from the breakfast table and shouts, “I win!” He likely does the same in the bathroom as he flushes. (Sorry, I know, no visuals.) In fact, if we could find someone who knows something about his toilet training, that would probably give us the key to bringing down his presidency. Woodward! Bernstein! Get on that, would you? ETA. In his recent trip to Europe, he knew he was the dumbest guy in the room (and couldn’t “win”), so what did he do? He didn’t play at all! With the Saudis, there was a deal on the table (even if it wasn’t strictly his), so he could act like a winner with them. I tell you, it explains everything. ---

But I think it goes deeper than that. He has been a ‘winner’ since the silver spoon was set in his mouth. He clearly does not know what negotiating means unless he has a billion dollars to hire lawyers to beat you down and avoid his latest kludge. Unfortunately, with his deaf, dumb and blind supporters, and a congress that just wants to bleed a little bit more out of the American public, it’s working. Fully a bit over half of us know this.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep harping on it endlessly. He’s not trying to convince the world he’s a winner-- he’s trying to convince himself. And he never will. The scary thing is, What extremes will he go to in his future attempt to prove it. **This** is where the resemblance to Hitler and other megalomaniacs comes in. As for his weight-- he’s gotten several beautiful trophy wives (and grabbed the pussies of many more women), so his weight is clearly irrelevant. Why do men want to be slim (in his mind)? To get chicks. “I get 'em anyway!” ---

And he does. Teflon Don. Just grab them by the pussy and they let you do it when you are a star. He was as surprised as anyone that they were able to rig the election with the help of the Russians.
