https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-isolation-investigations-20181213-story.html It was almost noon Friday when a Marine suddenly appeared outside the West Wing doors, a sign that President Trump had belatedly reported to the Oval Office. For the third day in a row, the president had been in the White House residence all morning, fuming about federal investigations that have moved closer to him — and are likely to get worse. His former confidant, attorney Michael Cohen, and other once-stalwart supporters have flipped, becoming witnesses for a Justice Department he has struggled to bend to his will. Prosecutors also secured the cooperation of American Media Inc., the tabloid publisher that routinely helped Trump muzzle bad stories and target his enemies. The result is Trump has become increasingly isolated as he enters what may be the most difficult stretch of his presidency, one laden with political and legal dangers. Trump’s first choice for a new chief of staff turned him down last week. "I don't think he's ever in his life been in this position,” said Barbara Res, who worked years for the Trump Organization, the president’s private family-run business. “He's always had all the power and nobody else does." Trump already is struggling to exert his influence. Few Republicans have endorsed his threats to force a government shutdown over Christmas if Congress doesn’t approve $5 billion for a proposed border wall. "They're still not saying it publicly, but most Republicans on the Hill understand ... that it's not going to end well, that it's going to be bad," said a longtime Republican operative close to party leadership.
Isolated and exposed
Happy holidays!
When you put a narcisist whos used to having total control of anyone under him in a spot where the job description is literallly "you will fight with 2 branches of governement whom you have no power over" you end up with this scenario.

At this point, where treason and other crimes are looking incredibly likely the only people who are dumb enough to stand by him are either in too deep to save themselves or have some sort of mental issue that has them think they can get him and themselves out of this unscathed. Seeing as his joke of a presidency has been nothing but him getting petty revenge against nation's that refused to let him build hotels, trying to kiss up to hostile nation's to potentially build hotels there and in general things that benefit the already well off and mainly himself I have no sympathy.
Allegedly Melania fears for his health (tabloid source)
maybe this is why he keeps Rudy Giuliani around despite him constantly just making things worse - he's his only actual friend at this point
My immediate though was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5HgQt2_MME
All around me are familiar faces...
except one branch colluded with him to ensure the 3rd branch is bent so far to them as possible by stacking it with sycophants, then that branch got split in half and is now controlled by the opposition.
not really a political post here but he always looks like his neck is exploding out of his suit. isn't that a little uncomfortable?
He's worn suits and ties pretty much his entire life. He's probably actually uncomfortable if he's not getting strangled a little bit all the time.
We should ask Stormy if that one's true.
I want him to attempt to escape to Russia so bad, it'd be the funniest icing to this horrible cake
his suits just straight-up don't fit. while they cost $7000 a pop, he just buys the most expensive ones available directly from Brioni rather than get them tailored. check it: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/106981/7dcfa302-1869-448e-9667-4528a75c00dc/image.png notice also the absurdly high belt valiantly attempting to suspend his girth a la President Taft.
to be fair the beef wellington neck flaps popping out of your sears 1983 cut suit and shirt (ample room for your big, healthy wall street bones) and wide tie pulled so tight it's like a public hanging has been an american business fashion staple for a while
I dont think id give a fuck about clothes fitting either of I was as old as him
Your comment reminded me of this http://www.startrek.com/uploads/assets/articles/insetguldukat1.jpg
Dear Trump Enjoy the freedom while you still can before the Mueller steamrolls you over and makes you rot in a jail cell for the rest of your life you orange twat. Get fucked. Sincerely, Everyone that isn't part of your cult.
it's like watching hitler in the last year or so of the war trump's gonna get worse as they close in, he'll eventually go totally nuts or senile. we'll have to see if he's a cornered rat kinda desperate or a "fuck it im out" kinda desperate. i personally am banking on cornered rat.
It doesn't help that he's always lurching forward. His chest and head hang out way past his feet
Lets bully him until he kills himself.
Basically impossible. He'll have to sneak by the secret service since they would never allow it..

Good, I hope every waking moment until he's in jail is never-ending torment for him.
BROARGH BREGGSIT MEENS BREGGSIT, BROAGGGHHH. wait wot do yoo meen i can't buy budweiser anymore?
Oh the key word was "try". I don't actually see a situation in which he'd be able to successfully escape, barring him taking off during an overseas visit to Europe or something, but it'd just be funny to see him get apprehended trying to do so.
It'd be ridiculously cathartic to see Trump trying to run away, only to get tasered in the back and dogpiled by a dozen Secret Service agents.
JUST LIKE A NAZI WOULD DO!!!!!!
