As his likely indictment in Manhattan draws closer with each day, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump gets more anxious and desperate to try and forestall the inevitable.
Proof of that can be found in a posting he made Friday on his failing Trump Social site in which he predicted there would be “death and destruction” if and when charges are handed down against him.
“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? Why and who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely (sic) hates the USA!”
On Thursday, Trump went on an ALL CAPS rant:
“EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M 100% INNOCENT, INCLUDING BRAGG, BUT HE DOESN’T CARE. HE IS JUST CARRYING OUT THE PLANS OF THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!”
Both of those frantic postings were the topic of discussion on Friday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” with MSNBC host Al Sharpton noting, “Beneath it all, from when I knew Donald Trump before, I think that he is very nervous. We are looking at a man that is becoming unhinged. (It) shows a man that has lost control. He is hearing footsteps and they’re getting closer.”
Host Joe Scarborough agreed:
“The guy is shaking in his boots. Now, of course, he’s threatening the lives of other people.
“But you read these tweets or whatever you call it on that failing platform, and this is a guy who, you’re right, he’s out of his mind scared. He is melting down. Now, he is threatening riots that will lead to death and destruction if he is charged.”
