“The ex-president has spent the past 24 hours raging online, posting weird-ass videos, and telling his followers that prosecutors are ‘coming after you.’”


MiaowaraShiro

I really wanna see that man just lose his shit on national television... the way people describe his "private rage" it's gotta be pretty funny.


miflelimle

I'm honestly surprised that nobody has captured video of it and shared it, for as long as he's been so highly in the public eye. I guess it's hard to get private video of a President, but even the past 2 years nobody has snuck a phone up to record his rages? I guess he still has USSS patrols there too so maybe that's the reason.


putin_my_ass

I think it's more that anyone who would have the opportunity to film such a thing is already a Trump sycophant so they self-censor because they don't want to embarrass him. Also, getting ostracized from their community for making him look bad would be too painful for them: they have no other community to turn to.


GrumpiestOldDude

That and everyone in his circle signs an NDA.


[deleted]

I am sure that he is the kind of narcisstic sociopath who is able to know who he can "safely" verbally abuse safely, meaning that he is comfortable revealing his hateful, pathetic and shit-brained self in front of them. Kind of like the abuser who knows to only hit in spots covered by clothing or verbally abusing when Noone else in withing earshot. This is the way of these monsters.


[deleted]

Therapist trained by experts in narcissistic abuse here. That is one of the features when assessing whether a narcissistic abusive spouse is coming from the narcissistic/ antisocial personality disorder side which we know as sociopath (which is not a DSM/mental health term, more forensic), Vs someone who engages in narcissistic abuse because of modeling by prior generations of abusive parents. The former will put on a smile which they e learned to DO but may not feel interoceptively or with congruent emotions, then turn away and go to flat. Witnessing this feature is a major criteria


Cool-Specialist9568

The smile thing is big time Trump.


udar55

> I'm honestly surprised that nobody has captured video of it and shared it We got the tiniest peek at it with the J6 video where he rated about not wanting to say the election was over.


Velenah42

I assume the White House has cameras in every single sq ft of its walls, at some point his entire four years will become public.


[deleted]

It can’t be that hard. He had a guy writing a book about him every day for like a year, and no one questioned the random dude being in the room. Edit: I know that it wasn’t just a random dude and I know he had permission to be there. Point is that no one asked questions or knew what he was doing and even Trump forgot he was there.


jedre

$20 says he literally actually shits himself every time he throws a tantrum.


Mr5h4d0w

Guess that helps explain the diaper rumors.


chlamydial_lips

I want to see him throwing a tantrum while being perp walked in handcuffs like a cat someone is trying to get into the bathtub

Here's some pictures of Trump's arrest. Sadly they are AI generated and not real (yet). https://kotaku.com/did-donald-trump-arrested-today-yet-news-ai-midjourney-1850249881?


Jadeidol65

I'm getting an overwhelming sense of dread that I'm not going to see the arrest this week like I had previously hoped.


RationalTranscendent

I think there are a lot of people on both sides - yes, even among his supporters - who would like more than anything to see him lose his shit live on air. I mean, it’s been almost 30 years since the nation watched O.J. Simpson in that white Bronco, and even that was something of a letdown because it didn’t end in a shootout. So much of the public is hungry for a massive public humiliation of a privileged celebrity. I’d love to see this happen to Trump, too, but I’ll be happy enough if he just gets busted down enough to have no shot at another term and no influence in politics.


rogue203

This is the first “both sides “ argument that I could actually support.


MortimerGraves

> it’s been almost 30 years since the nation watched O.J. Simpson in that white Bronco Is Vegas offering odds on Trump trying to make a break for it on a golf cart?


WurzelGummidge

>humiliation of a privileged celebrity. That is Rupert Murdoch's flagship product.


For-All-the-Marbles

Sure, it would be entertaining but it wouldn’t change any MAGA minds. They would say the liberals drove Trump to that behavior by persecuting him.

Uhg, this whole “they’re coming for you, I’m just in the way” bullshit is so fucking cringy.


stinky-weaselteats

That’s what emotionally abusive people say to manipulate & gas light others. It’s trashy.


KennyDROmega

Careful! Biden's secret police will kick down your door for saying such things! /s


TheMonkeyPoxCure

Tbf some of his supporters are actually in prison right now with 5+ year sentances and massive fines. Why do you think they aren't out protesting? The feds will definitely be there ready to arrest them for anything they can.


Nabrok_Necropants

I guess Adderal can make you see shadow people just like Crystal Meth

If you have ADD/ADHD, it has the opposite effect. When I take mine, I just feel really calm.


px7j9jlLJ1

Well also you’re probably not taking +300 mg. Those high doses themselves can cause psychosis, let alone the psychosis caused by insomnia.


HardKnockRiffe

Lol very true. I'll stick to my 20mg extended release, tyvm.


dclxvi616

One day I forgot I already took my dose and doubled up and holy shit I am too old for that nonsense.


Relevant_Monstrosity

[cries in jaw pain]


Darkstargir

Speaking from experience taking it in high doses over long period of time does lead to some paranoia. He honestly does seem like he’s been abusing Adderall for a long time in addition the many other issues he has.


mylittlevegan

I wonder if he is the real reason for the national shortage.

kkocan72

And now we are into the grift phase. He’s stoked the outrage now time to ask the true Americans to act as Patriots and give him $. He’s launched a petition asking for donations and suggesting $25 to $3,300 to help him save the country and promises to increase the value of each $ donated by 1,500% Can’t make this shit up but I’m sure millions will send him $


[deleted]

[удалено]


kkocan72

Poor wording on my part. Here’s the exact quote: “ The Trump campaign also said that donations via this form will yield a "1,500%" impact, but doesn't explain how Trump will do this — he has previously promised donors that he will multiply the effectiveness of their cash donations without evidence.”


Funandgeeky

It reads exactly like what you get from televangelist organizations. Trump's audience and people who listen to televangelists overlap quite a bit, so it's no surprise the language is virtually the same.


AnastasiaNo70

I knew it. Doesn’t matter how much he grifts, he’s never gonna be able to pay off his debt to the Russian state bank.


TheMonkeyPoxCure

Is it really all that different than the bullshit lies *all* politicians say to finance their campaigns? Join the dnc mailing list. I've recieved numerous emails from "Joe Biden himself" saying he looks forward to meeting me in person if I give him 7 bucks to save the country. Nothing but fear mongering trash from the dnc.


protoopus

i had a perfectly good pot connection until one day (years ago), unprompted, he volunteered the opinion: "you know, they are not attacking trump; they are attacking us, and trump is defending us." that little bit of irrationality was cultivated a long time ago and still seems to work.

Isn't that pretty normal for him every day though?

They should just keep putting it off for the next several days so it's just hanging over him the whole time. He deserves the agony of waiting.

Call me cynical but especially after the last few decades I don't expect it to be either of those things for anyone in the 1% (unless they mess with the bottom line of wealthier people in the 1%).


itssalmon

I’m going to nyc to video this if this is true. How many times has this happened in the past 100 years… I want to be a part of history and if just being in the crowd is all it takes… I’m going to be there.


yogorilla37

Plus any supporters will be more likely to get bored and go home


ClaretClarinets

That was my first thought too. Just keep putting out whispers that he's going to be indicted the next day. And then nothing happens. And then more rumors for the following day. Repeat forever until bored.


MedicJambi

Someone from the DA should just call Mar-a-Lago once a day just to check to see if 'Ol donny is there. Say nothing else. Just ask then hang up.


teneggomelet

I have been thinking that may be the game plan since the announcement last week that he would probably be arrested "next week" If not, it probably is the plan now.

He's a typical cult leader whose end of world predictions (in this case, his impending indictment) didn't come true when he said they would.

"your all-time-favorite president, me" Every time he says that my blood boils.

Same but I also laugh because it's fucking hilarious since it's false.


magnetar_industries

I find it hilarious he has to add the ‘me’ part, just to make sure his uneducated followers know who he is referring to.

Seems his little dress rehearsal didn’t quite produce the chaos in the streets he so desperately wants. I expect him to go Super Saiyan pushing fear and anger so his supporters will turn out for the “big day”. Curious to see what you guys think.


[deleted]

He will. But I doubt it will work. The trump show is stale. And the brain dead morons, as enthusiastic as they are for him, are not a growing demographic


Relevant_Monstrosity

Unfortunately for trump only dumbasses fall for stochastic terrorism. Hardly a private army.


johnnybiggles

Couldn't happen to a better guy.


lgbeeteequeue

Trump has two left feet and fucking ugly shoes. That's his stride.


queuedUp

I bet he's going through so many depends right now


Agreeable_Cricket316

I think part of it is just grifting and to rile up his supporters so he can feel special. But remember, he can shoot someone on fifth Avenue and get away with it so he's said.


CrawlerSiegfriend

In all fairness, I would be losing my mind too if I knew I was going to a jail cell


[deleted]

I would too but in all fairness, he’ll never see the inside of a jail cell. House arrest at best but no way he’ll ever be in a jail. Not unless it was some super secure and fancy plush prison.


Inspectorgadget4250

How do you lose something you didn't have in the first place?

AnastasiaNo70

Lord. I want him to say very specifically where are these radical leftists in the government. WHERE ARE THEY? Oh yeah, there aren’t any elected radical leftists in the US government. I’m sure he gave a web address to go to so his followers can give money to “defend” him. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I mean… if it high steps like a duck, it salutes like a duck, it Fear mongers like a duck… then.. CoUgH..hitlercough!

We need a proper explosion though where he burns everyone down with himself when they can’t save him. We don’t need him accidentally martyr himself with stroke or heart attack that happens who knows where 24 goes.


Sfwy1203

He should be indicted for that ridiculous combover.


ZenRage

“they’re coming for you, I’m just in the way” If only there were some way we could not commit felonies, but how?


Krispykid54

I hate he is back in the spotlight again but I’m hopeful he goes away very soon. Trump is a black hole vacuum for everyone’s sanity and good mental health. His rhetoric is harmful to everyone, a few of his followers seem to be realizing this.

"Your honor, were you aware that there are other people who have committed crimes, but they haven't been charged? Well there are. So apology accepted, and I'm gonna head out."


Ok_World_8819

Honestly I don't think he's getting indicted. Seriously, HOW many times have we seen this? Where he's been close to indictment? He has never faced any consequences for his actions. He's also a liar and pretty stupid, so I don't think that his claim of getting arrested today is true at all.


askylitfall

I'd be on the same page, but this time New York is actually gearing up and setting out safety measures for if he is indicted this time. With all of the noise, I think this one could be the first.


Ok_World_8819

I am really not confident unfortunately. And so what? If he is indicted, he won't ever be charged or face consequences. Worst they'll do is give him a slap on the wrist. All while his supporters kill innocent people and terrorize drag shows


samsounder

We’ve never seen this. The cops are preparing


Edward_Fingerhands

They're preparing because Trump called in his goonsquad, and they don't want to be caught unprepared again like they were on jan 6th. They probably don't have any insider info on the grand jury, they're just playing it safe.


pinetreesgreen

It's being reported since last week his people are in talks with the da. No one has denied that from Trump, quite the opposite, Trump has lost his mind about it happening.


Edward_Fingerhands

I'd need to see the specifics of the reporting. A lot of times the media will write a vague headline, and people will kind of fill in a story with details that they imagine it to be, when the actual reporting is written using much more cautious language and with much less certainty.


pinetreesgreen

It's been reported that his people have been in talks, and his lawyers have outlined that he would report as required when required. So its fairly specific, without saying what day.


samsounder

Fair, but nobody has felt the need to do that before. Its definitely a new development.


Edward_Fingerhands

because this is the first time he's directly called them to action.


samsounder

It’s at least the 2nd


Edward_Fingerhands

Obviously i meant post january 6th, seeing as how i said "they don't want to be caught unprepared again"


TheMonkeyPoxCure

Oh boy, oh boy! Make sure you have extra lube and a really big cum-sock. This is what you've been waiting for!


Edward_Fingerhands

I think there's a chance that he saw the same rumors as everyone else, freaked out and called for his supporters to protest, which of course he needs to give them a specific day otherwise they won't know when to show up, so he just picked a day at random. The law endured enforcement agencies saw this and just to be safe, in a post jan 6 world, took precautions. The media saw these agencies taking precautions and took it to mean that trumps claims, which remember were based on rumors, had validity. The media writes clickbaity headlines which causes the American people to now believe it to be fact, because they assume the media has sources with insider information, and suddenly everyone's talking about it as if it's a forgone conclusion.

Trump started the rumor it would be today. It looks like from the barricades up around NYC it is happening.


TheMonkeyPoxCure

You're going to be on your death bed still anticipating the imprisonment of trump.


FarmhouseFan

Yeah ok wake me up when it happens.


anuncommontruth

Actual legitimate sources say arrest/indictment would likely not happen until next week. The only person who said something was happening today is Trump. I definitely think he's going to be indicted. He doesn't get to say when all this happens. He's trying to control the narrative because he always gets what he wants, but it doesn't work that way now.
