“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while,” Mr. Bannon said in an interview on Wednesday.

It's not just that Trump is miserable right now -- he is almost certainly having something that best resembles a total breakdown, and it will not stop.

Yeah, I have had the same thought. Trump is a narcissist, unable to handle criticism, and has picked one of the jobs in the world which absolutely guarantees constant criticism. It's a Diet Coke and Mentos situation we got going here.

I was wondering just a couple hours ago about the potential of the Presidency to completely destroy Trump's mind. What will the effect on him be if he goes down in the history books more or less unanimously as the worst President ever? Could he recover from that?

If he's still in charge at that point it's possible the only books allowed left will all be trump's books.

He'll be ok if the results are terrible if he can set the opposite narrative or people blame others (ie obama or muslims or illegals or whoever, it doesn't matter) or nobody can actually say otherwise. (ie making criticism illegal like some other autocratic places)

I'm only saying this b/c I grew up with that personality and that's what they cared about for the most part.

yes, they

I can't tell you how to beat it b/c I didn't--I ended up refusing to take part. They're very difficult to win against as they are masters at manipulation and the part where he has to win/zero compromise and those types are constantly scheming. like 24/7

Watch that White House interview about the voter fraud again. His mind is gone already.

Jewish slave labor propped up Germany. I'm pretty sure Trump can't do that.

Trump negotiates the wall: Okay, OKAY, We'll pay for it by taxing Americans!
Trump supporters: YAY! Isn't Trump awesome!

He probably won't do it to Jews.

Guest workers are the next best things to slaves. The poorest people from Latin America are kept practically and sometimes literally locked up. Most of that is now agricultural, but some is already factory work and more could be. Trump has already been talking about how workers will be handled legally to work on the farms.

So, not the model of Jewish slave labor, but more like Qatar and guest workers.

Genuinely concerned for whatever "sneak attack" is going to happen first. Throughout the election he repeatedly attacked the notion of stated goals and seems to love him some sneak attacks.

I would not be utterly shocked if I wake up one day within the next 6 months to news of "The evil threat of North Korea has been eliminated, and the people of North Korea liberated" as the result of a sneak attack. Particularly as such moves can be made to distract from other failings or to drum up support.

I'm even more afraid of a terrorist attack here, false flag or not, that will instantly usher in a fascist nightmare. The stage is being set as we speak.

Yep, legit terrifying. Militarized police, unprecedented spying powers, secret courts... Almost seems like a few more people could have been up in arms over the last 8 years as opposed to "GOAT OBAMA IS GOATIN YAY!".

I got his death date as August 21, 2028.

This is for the UK http://www.ubble.co.uk/ , but w/e. I got 5.9% chance of dying in the next 5 years on that.

I answered the questions based on him not smoking or drinking or having serious medical issues but also not exercising and being fat. No account for being POTUS and already having dementia.

Average life of a 70yo male is about 15 years, with only a couple percent chance of dying this year. Obesity doesn't play much of a role at that age. If he was going to get type 2 diabetes he would have already got it, and his heart likely would have already given out if it was a problem. His most likely COD is now cancer.

The stress of the presidency has to bump that up some. It's a unique position.

4 presidents have been assassinated a couple more shot and several more close calls.

Cancer or a heart attack are probably more likely, but almost a 10% assassination rate on the job is pretty high. And he's kind of enemies with the CIA.
01-26-2017 , 11:49 PM
The video of Trump talking about how great his CIA speech was and how he got 'the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning won the super bowl' wtf?!? has me convinced his mind is going downhill fast.

All true, but having a medical team steps away 24/7 and having immediate access to high quality government run health care mitigates quite a bit of this.
