Former Friend Says ‘Insane’ Trump Is ‘Shriveling Away’ As Legal Pressure Is Applied

Donnie Deutsch is an advertising, branding, and marketing expert who has known failed former president Donald Trump for decades and once considered him a close friend.

As a result, Deutsch has a great deal of insight into the personality and psyche of the ex-president, some of which he offered up on MSNBC Friday when asked by reporter Jonathan Lemire, “You are someone who has known Donald Trump for a long time. There is reporting this week about him being arrested this week, how it will be good publicity. You know, smile for the cameras were there to be a perp walk.”

Deutsch explained:

“I think for his base, they love it. I don’t think he loses a lot of votes, but he certainly loses the opportunity to get back any of those independents, any of the suburban voters. And I think the Reverend [Al Sharpton] really kind of nailed in the last hour, You’re really seeing — this is a frightened man at this point.”

The former advertising executive then added:

“I’m going to use one of his terms: this is a caged animal who is backed in the corner. He’s looking that way and he’s acting that way — and he’s unhinged and it is so frightening though, when he went through those disgusting anti-Semitic racial tropes, that ‘Soros-backed animal,’ you might as well say dirty Jew Black animal, you might as well say those words because that is what he’s saying. And the fact that other Republicans, including [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis, the number one challenger, does the same thing, does the Soros thing, the same ‘Jew-backing’ this Black man — and one used the word ‘master’ — I think that was [Rep. Elise] Stefanik and whatnot — that’s the stunning talk.”

But it was what Deutsch said next that should concern anyone who cares about the safety and security of the United States as we near a criminal indictment of Trump:

“We know Trump is insane. We know he has lost his mind, we know he’s just continually, continually shriveling away.”

Insane people are unpredictable, and that means that this country will be on alert in the days leading up to, the day of, and the days after Donald Trump is indicted in Manhattan, and potentially in other venues, too.

Terrified Trump Predicts ‘Death And Destruction’ If He’s Indicted

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.”

Fox Host Slams House Republicans For Trying To ‘Intimidate’ Manhattan DA With Threats

Now that it seems almost certain that failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump will indeed be indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sometime this week, Republicans in the House of Representatives are trying to harass and threaten Bragg, demanding that he appear before various committees to explain why he’s bringing charges against the failed ex-president.

For example, on Monday, ABC News reports, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) insisted that Bragg show up on Capitol Hill and bring thousands of documents with him. Sending him a letter that read, in part:

“You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office.”

And Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also attacked Bragg, telling reporters, “What we see before us is a political game being played by a local … Look this isn’t New York City, this is just a Manhattan, this is just a borough DA. Okay?”

Intimidation and attempting to demean a duly elected DA. And yet the GOP wants to be known as the party of “law and order”? Sure, as long as the law doesn’t apply to any Republicans.

All of this led Fox News host Neil Cavuto to excoriate House Republicans on his Tuesday show.

Speaking with former federal prosecutor Kevin O’Brien, Cavuto noted:

“I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion whether he’s overreaching his legal hand. But in this case here, if you’re talking about a guy who you say is weaponizing and going way beyond the legal areas that he should as a local prosecutor, then surely the House risks doing the same if it tries to drag him before them to argue the point and essentially to intimidate him.”

O’Brien agreed:

“Right, as my mother used to say, two wrongs don’t make a right. And this certainly does escalate the situation in ways that aren’t helpful.”

Cavuto added:

“I don’t have an axe to grind in all this, Kevin. But I do wonder if the House risks looking like it’s doing the bidding of Donald Trump by creating an even bigger circus that they hope to avoid when they talk about Alvin Bragg’s circus.

“And that this perpetuates the notion that whatever Donald Trump wants, he gets. And Republicans will do his bidding.”

Stormy Daniels Lays A Brutal Burn On Trump Supporters Who Continue To Defend Him

Former adult film star Stormy Daniels is once again at the center of the daily news cycle as the country and world await the pending indictment of failed one-term former president Donald Trump in Manhattan.

Daniels is the reason that Trump is facing criminal charges. He illegally paid her $130,000 in hush money in the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign, which is a violation of New York election law.

However, Daniels is now having to deal with some incredibly nasty social media postings aimed at her even though Trump is the one who initiated the affair with her and chose to pay her money for her silence.

Newsweek reports that Daniels is fighting back against the online barbs.

Replying to a tweet that accused her of accepting a hush money payment “to Frame an innocent man,” Daniels replied, “Sooo…tiny paid me to frame himself? You sound even dumber than he does during his illiterate ramblings.”

Responding to the user’s message telling her “good luck walking down the streets after this!,” she said, “I won’t walk, I’ll dance down the street when he is ‘selected’ to go to jail.”

Daniels also tweeted out this in anticipation of what is expected to be Trump’s indictment on Wednesday:

“Wow! It’s a beautiful morning. It’s always been my dream to sip coffee on my farm porch and watch my gorgeous horse graze. Anything exciting going on today?”

Pathetically Small Crowd Shows Up In Manhattan To Protest Trump’s Upcoming Arrest

On Monday, pro-Trump supporters held what they called a “protest” outside the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is expected to announce the indictment of the failed one-term, twice-impeached former president sometime this week.

And yet, despite Trump’s calls over the weekend for massive demonstrations and protests in anticipation of his being hit with criminal charges, the crowd that assembled was spectacularly sparse, according to HuffPost.

The leadership of the New York Young Republican Club, a far-right group, wants to be very clear: It’s actually a good thing that only a handful of Donald Trump supporters showed up to the pro-Trump rally held Monday outside the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

“We purposefully kept it small,” the club’s president, Gavin Wax, told HuffPost.

“I think there’s more cameras here than people,” observed Vish Burra, the club’s executive secretary and a staffer for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).

And even though they were few in number, those who did show up were eager to spin endless conspiracy theories about how the entire world is aligned against them and their tangerine savior.

“They’re trying to incite something, violence,” said Braxton Foley, 15, referring to the assembled journalists. Then the self-described “paleocon” plugged his podcast. “I’ve got 5,000 subs, so…”

A woman who declined to give her full name remarked that, should Trump actually be arrested, “there’s a lot of patriots in this country that will not take kindly to that.” She stopped herself, saying that any protests would be peaceful.

There was also a man with a guitar who thought that Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates needed to be strung up the way January 6 rioters wanted to Mike Pence.

The man later clarified that he didn’t actually want to hang Fauci, suggesting instead, “No. We want to torture him for three years first,” he said, later adding: “poke his eyes out, let him live with one eye and, like, bleed.”

And yet these same yahoos wonder why people refer to them as domestic terrorists.
