The man himself has brought grief on HIMSELF…….
And?….
He will continue to do so…..
CNN: “Trump raged at President Joe Biden and special counsel Jack Smith, making expansive and false claims that his attempts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election represented a vital defense of American democracy and were thus perfectly legal. In a tide of invective in block capitals on his Truth Social network, Trump escalated extreme rhetoric on immigration that has drawn comparisons to Nazi demagoguery in the 1940s and reprised his view of unlimited presidential power that has critics fearing autocracy if he wins the next election.”
“Just three weeks before voting starts in the Republican nominating race, the front-runner also underscored the extraordinary extent to which false claims about electoral fraud three years ago are still the anchor of his political project. And his tirades, at a time when Americans who celebrate Christmas gathered with loved ones and sought a moment of peace, hint at a furious state of mind and extreme denialism. These are likely to raise new concerns about his temperament and suitability to serve again as commander-in-chief and are a dark omen as to what another Trump term could bring.”
Daily Beast: Trump’s Christmas message: ‘Rot in Hell.’
My Name Is Jack says
Anyone who would vote for this hate filled mean spirited mad animal is a damn idiot.
jamesb says
Lot’s of them , eh?
My Name Is Jack says
Yeah …
About 85-90% of the Republican Party.
Trump has them conservative “ values.”
Scott P says
He probably got bad news from his attorneys about how his cases are going. Or the stories about how he smells like shit are getting to him.
jamesb says

All that Scott and the prospect of losing at least $250,000,000 by a NYS judge and AG….
Couldn’t happen to a better person 😆❗️

Donald Trump has shared a graphic naming “revenge” and “dictatorship” as among his biggest goals if he wins the presidency in 2024.
In a poll published on Tuesday, The Daily Mail asked 1,000 American voters to sum up in one word what they thought Mr Trump and Joe Biden wanted from a second term in office.
The top entry in Mr Biden’s word cloud was “nothing”, followed by “economy” and “peace”. But for Mr Trump, it was “revenge” – alongside “power”, “dictatorship”, “America”, and “economy” again.
Mr Trump quickly shared the graphic on his Truth Social page without any further comment, raising the question of whether he endorses such terms.
“It distils the essence of this campaign pretty accurately,” conservative commentator Matt Lewis told the outlet.
“In the case of Donald Trump, the brand that has emerged is one that he has intentionally cultivated, and he has sought to become the candidate of vengeance.”
Indeed, Mr Trump has not been shy about wishing to visit fire and brimstone upon his enemies. At a conference last year he vowed to get “retribution”, and on Christmas Day he posted that he hoped his opponents would “ROT IN HELL”.
He has promised to “go after” Joe Biden and his family for their supposed “corruption”, repeatedly describing the numerous criminal investigations against him as politically-motivated “witch hunts” and pledging to respond in kind.
When he declared earlier this month that he would not abuse his power to exact retribution “except on day one”, many of his allies leaped to his defence.

I and others have showcased this from Trump……
It seems consistent with his management style in running his business’s…..
It HAS helped him draw obedience from most of his Republican’s…
Politicians actually do the same thing
But NOT so publicly……
His words ARE being used against him ….
He seems to not care….
Democratic Socialist Dave says
I have no idea what the indecipherable stream-of-consciousness above means.
Nor can I fill in the blanks in sentences like
“Politicians actually do the same thing
But NOT so publicly……”
jamesb says
I was referring to OTHER politicians that make crazy shit up…….
We read about them all the time
But they don’t have the bull horn that Trump has….
In fact on fantasy maker just got hit with a $148M judgement for lying about election workers fraudulently…..
Donald Trump is hardly alone as a culprit…:
And people listen to this stuff and pass it on as gospel…,,.
jamesb says
Trump’s knocking the election system HAS caused some in ‘his’ party to stop trusting Democracy….
That the piece could be suggesting they will NOT VOTE…..
And Trump and others in his own party can thank themselves only
