"I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer, but I thought it was better this way"

Said by Trump just now on why the FBI raided his ex National Security Advisor. You know this means he wanted to do a ride along and maybe even be there in person to arrest Bolton.

Will they be able to keep him out of the car when they harass and assault the Obamas? Hillary? Beyonce?

This is certainly the biggest political crisis of my lifetime. How are we going to handle it?

disorders to include histrionic (which I don’t think is mentioned enough with him.)

https://idahorecoverycenter.com/histrionic-personality-disorder-in-men/

Histrionic Personality Disorder centers around a person’s obsession with being noticed. This often comes with a deep desire to be wanted and needed, sometimes to a detrimental or dangerous level.

As a result, someone suffering from HPD may display the following symptoms or traits:

A constant need for attention
Dramatic or over-the-top emotions
Shallow or rapidly shifting emotions
Inappropriately seductive/sexual behavior
Bring easily influenced
An excessive concern with appearance
Overestimating the closeness of relationships

Because many of these traits are often chalked up to “boys will be boys,” it can make HPD more difficult to diagnose in men. Men might exhibit symptoms in ways that align with masculine stereotypes, which often leads to a proper diagnosis being overlooked. HPD is more frequently associated with women, so it may not even be seen as a potential diagnosis by a health care worker.

Similar to people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), men with HPD may also inherently work around the symptoms of their disorder or internalize them as inherent parts of their personality. Examples of this may include:

Overemphasizing emotional independence, while seeking validation through charm or dominance.
Excessive sensitivity to perceived criticism, masked by bravado or displays of anger.
A focus on physical prowess or achievements to draw admiration.
Engaging in flirtatious or seductive behavior that is culturally framed as charisma.

Oh, and his brain is getting all shrinky-dinky. His frontal lobe was, in it’s prime, a thin and ineffective veneer at best. Now that frontal lobe is trying to carry a gallon of ice cream up three flights of stairs in a sheet of newspaper, with no carton.

The urge to make everything “great for TV” so everyone will love him again is physically chained to his need for revenge and they are run amok behind those puffy, pea-slit eyeballs of his.

He’s got a grand total of 3 thoughts going on a loop up there
1) Am I safe?
2) Why don’t they LOVE me?
3) Kill them!

That’s it. That’s all that’s left.

… in 2013 when she was A.G. for the State of Florida. That was a big time mafia move.

And I don’t mean just the failing cognitive state of decline, either. We can all see his cognitive test for ourselves. The test I would like to see administered to him, live on TV by a panel of professional test administrators, is the United States Citizenship test.

It’s the gob-smacking laziness and lack of care about what he doesn’t know, which is truly vast and 100% intersectional with all knowledge of government required of a person holding a middle school diploma.
