As he prepares to make a trip to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday for his arraignment, booking, fingerprinting, and mugshots, the bravado failed former president Donald Trump is projecting on social media over the past 24 hours is merely a smokescreen, according to an insider who revealed that the four indictments facing the disgraced ex-president are indeed taking their toll.
A report from Page Six notes:
The customarily Teflon Don is “showing signs that it’s wearing on him,” says the insider.
An insider tells us that the Georgia indictment has “brought about a change,” adding, “he’s not so confident anymore. He’s not acting so cocky anymore. He’s not lashing out so much. The arrogance is gone.”
That same source added, “It feels like it’s all setting [in] for him now.”
What has Trump most worried? That his co-defendants will cut a deal with prosecutors and testify against him.
But behind closed doors, our source says that Trump is “nervous,” because “there are so many defendants, he believes that a bunch of them are going to make deals and flip on him.”
None of this should surprise anyone who’s been paying attention over the past few years. Trump has always pretended to be unfazed by bad news, but those who see the real Donald behind closed doors know he’s a whiny, neurotic mess when things don’t go his way. And now that he’s facing the very real prospect of dying in prison, it must feel like the world is collapsing on him.
What will happen next? Will Trump make a cry for help by attempting suicide? That seems unlikely given that he’s probably too chickenshit to carry out such a plan. And if anyone were to assist him, he or she could then be criminally charged.
One thing is certain: Donald Trump is now in the “find out” phase of his legal journey, and things are going to get much worse very soon.
