For those of you who have been waiting for Donald Trump to finally crack wide open and devolve into madness, that time has come. Sure, there are those who will that say it happened long ago, but now the cracks are rupturing into massive fissures that threaten to swallow the entirety of Trump’s frazzled psyche and, if we’re not careful, the whole nation..<\/p>\n

\"Donald
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump is sweating out the prospect of his impending impeachment with the worst imaginable reactions. If he were smart he’d just resign now<\/a><\/strong>. His tweets and public comments reveal someone who has given up on reality in favor of throwing bizarre tantrums and lashing out at his perceived enemies. He has actually warned that criticism of him could lead to civil war<\/a><\/strong>. But on Wednesday morning he whined that “the press has gone crazy”<\/em> because they reported on his unspeakably cruel proposal to shoot migrants and to build a border moat stocked with snakes and alligators. By the way, Fox News confirmed<\/a><\/strong> those reports, so they must be crazy too.<\/p>\n

Trump also ranted about what he called the “Do Nothing Democrats.”<\/em> Nevermind that the House has passed more than 200 bills<\/a><\/strong> that are being blocked by GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell. Trump complained that Democrats were “wasting everyone\u2019s time and energy on BULLSHIT.”<\/em> And isn’t that a lovely presidential expression of bipartisanship.<\/p>\n

Trump’s derangement continued during a press avail wherein he attacked the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, impotently calling for him to resign and recklessly accusing him of treason<\/a><\/strong>. This obsession with Schiff stemmed from a brief passage in Schiff’s opening statement at a committee hearing. Trump has been incessantly whimpering that Schiff fraudulently put words in his mouth. But the truth is that Schiff merely paraphrased Trump<\/a><\/strong> and said he was doing so in advance. But Trump leaves that part out.<\/p>\n

However, the most disturbing recent remarks from Trump concern his allegation that the efforts to impeach him are a coup. That’s a charge that Trump picked up from the wingnut media that has been bellowing this absurdity<\/a><\/strong> for several days. But it’s one thing for right-wing propagandists to spew these ludicrous conspiracy theories, and another when it comes straight from the President as it did when he tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that “what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP.”<\/em> And now Trump has included this preposterous nonsense in an official campaign ad:<\/p>\n
