Trump is too fearful to hold office

[Starbeach]

I don't see Trump called out over his very public fears and terror tantrums. Who or what is he not afraid of?

Trump's terror of the press, Dem govs, D.C., Bolton, Christie, NBC, ABC, Jasmine, Newsom, Schiff, Mamdani, Lisa Cook, Powell, Putin.....just this week alone.....

Hell, he won't even target America's really dangerous cities.

Hes a rabidly fearful man, dressed up in his MAGA playsuit and hiding on golf courses. Dems, start calling out our most terrified President, who only handles American political life with diatribes, threats, prosecutions, or military displays.

He's too afraid. What will he be afraid of today?

1. That's an interesting take.

Is fear at the root of his anger, or his power grab?

8. Fear Anger

Fearful people are often very angry. Powerlessness.

9. Since childhood he's been a bully, a liar, a grifter. Lowlife people, no matter how hard they

try, they know what they are.

Look no farther than his list of friends: Epstein, Maxwell, Roy Cohn, various mob bosses and thugs. He was never well-accepted by the "old money" crowd in the country. He may be powerful, now, thanks to the SCOTUS, but he's fearful and rationalizes everything he does. His only comfort comes from power, which he's exercising vigorously and with lightning speed -- because he's an emotionally crippled person.

Interesting Esquire magazine article about his ties with the mob:
By Gabrielle Bruney, Published: Jul 22, 2020 8:00 AM EDT

As his critics often point out, the president behaves a lot like a mob boss. He even received an endorsement from former Gambino family underboss Salvatore " Sammy the Bull" Gravano, who said that America "doesn't need a bookworm as president, it needs a mob boss."

Trump had a personal connection to some of the city's most powerful mobsters through his friend, mentor, and lawyer Roy Cohn. Cohn, who's these days remembered as one of the most malignant figures in 20th century America, was an attorney for mafia leaders including "Fat Tony" Salerno, Carmine Galante, and Paul Castellano, bosses in the Genovese, Bonanno, and Gambino crime families, respectively.

2. The stinking bloating piece of shit knows nature is catching up with him

and he is accelerating the damage and destruction

7. Agreed

Seems like he knows his days are numbered and seems like he is accelerating destruction of democracy

[enough]

3. Also it serves him politically to stoke and play on MAGA fears.

4. He's afraid of being exposed ...

He knows he is not what he claims to be…powerful, loved, honored, brilliant, industrious, athletic, beautiful. It’s why he needs to be told that daily/ hourly to stave off reality creeping in destroying his veneer of greatness.

He wishes the mirrors in his life would be powered by AI, reflecting back his obscene imagined image of himself. The real one would frighten him, but that is what he sees as he wraps the corn silk around his head to hide the baldness.

He dresses his hand up in makeup so not to expose that he’s getting some kind of treatment because his body is failing. He’s afraid that his almighty projection of ultimate strength may be exposed.

Then he projects that fear into everything.

5. He's always had others do his 'dirty work' for him

So his tiny hands don't ever get blood on them

6. Just like a MOB BOSS.

Mob Boss: "Did you take care of that thing for me? You know 'the THING?'"

Underling: "I took care of 'the THING.'"
