Donald Trump completely unravels as the day keeps getting worse for him
Between the Robert Mueller press conference and the USS John McCain debacle, yesterday was an astoundingly bad day for Donald Trump. Yet today is somehow turning out even worse for him โ partly because the bad news keeps on coming, and partly because Trump is unraveling in such rapidly accelerating fashion, he’s creating whole new problems for himself as the day goes on.
Donald Trump’s day can be summed up based on this sequence of events alone: First he tweeted that Russia helped him win the 2016 election. Then he deleted it. Then he tweeted it again. Then he stood in the White House driveway and ranted and raved that Russia didn’t help him, as the television cameras looked on.
That alone is proof that this guy is too far gone psychologically to be President of the United States, even if he weren’t guilty of an endless list of disqualifying felonies. Somewhere in there Trump also admitted that his White House really did try to keep the USS John McCain out of his sight this week. Trump insists he had nothing to do with it, and he may be telling the truth for once. But if so, it means his handlers โ who know more about his current condition than anyone โ really do think he’s so psychologically fragile, he might have suffered a mental breakdown if he saw his deceased political rival’s name on a ship.
That’s before getting to today’s bombshell revelation in court that the Trump regime tried to rig the 2020 census for the sake of gerrymandering political districts in the Republican Party’s favor. But at the rate this day is going for Donald Trump, he’s falling to pieces so jarringly, you have to wonder what the odds are he’ll make it to 2020. This guy could end up being removed via the 25th Amendment before impeachment can even get underway.
