From what I've read about his past, this way of operating was taught to him when he was in his 20s by Roy Cohn.Have you watched The Comey Rule yet? Brendan Gleeson plays the shitgibbon and the meetings with James Comey go exactly like that, and the pressure is persistently applied. Comey made detailed notes of it and this tape recording provides a real example of how he does it. He thinks he is Don Corleone

What a horrible **** he was.From what I've read about his past, this way of operating was taught to him when he was in his 20s by Roy Cohn.
If he wasn't such a coward I would agree, but he won't want to be manhandled by security personnel. He'd probably shit in his nappy if that happened.He wont leave, they will have to go in and get him out of the white house. He wants to make as much division and violence as possible to stir up the right wing,mullet haired, truck driving, gun carrying, god bothering nutters, and stay relevant for 4 years. His plan is to be the shadow president or a president in exile wrongly kicked out. To make that work he needs to be seen to be forcibly removed. Just my prediction
Two horrible cunts.What a horrible **** he was.
It wont be manhandling will it. He needs the theatre of officials going in and having to tell him to leave, and him being able to say he was told to leave, to make his plan of being the true shadow president workIf he wasn't such a coward I would agree, but he won't want to be manhandled by security personnel. He'd probably shit in his nappy if that happened.
Also he wouldn't want to be seen to be in a situation where it looks like he's not in control. It would be too much for his fragile ego if he's not surrounded by sycophants calling him sir.
They are latching on to him in order to tap into the support and movement of nutters he has created. This is what Ted Cruz's game is for instance, and the other 11 Senators who have pledged not to accept the electoral college votes. Trump isnt being fed by others, he is feeding them. Tens of millions of them. By doing so he is making himself a martyred wrongly ousted shadow president, and also raising $200m in a grift on the back of it.I sometimes wonder if Trump is being told things by someone else or if there's a greater power with leverage over him to force him to behave the way he is. It reminds me of Hitler in the bunker believing that Germany would fight back the Soviets to Russia whilst the Soviets were entering Berlin.
The reason Hitler was like this though was because he had a bunch of people around him feeding him only what he wanted to hear despite knowing disaster was imminent. You have to ask then not just for Trump but what's the endgame for everyone around him, all of whom are having their reputations destroyed purely by association?
Is Trump blind to what's going on or is he being advised by very misguided strategists on how to cling onto power, legally or not? Why would those people do such a thing? For the career politicians in his administration like Pompeo and Pence, are they in the bunker with him or are they now plotting for life afterwards?
