Just creating his own reality, perfectly all right for those born to lead — well that’s what the voices in his head tell him.

Anything to distract. Now he’s messing with the nuclear arms deal… testing. Anything to get us to look over there instead of over here. D*amn his orange hide.
Because Trump’s short term memory is shot (I hear syphillis can DO that to a person—or even to a Trump!), he might not know that states can flip. For example, my neighbor Kansas. (I live 8 blocks away from Kansas, and before COVID I could go walking there any time I damn well pleased). Its legislature currently has a super-majority of deranged Republicans (but I repeat myself), yet is on its THIRD Democratic FEMALE governor. Whereas Missouri has yet to have its first female chief executive, nor the nation. (Note to Hillary Clinton: who knew that health care or the Electoral College could be complicated?)
Pelosi is getting under Trump’s skin — and Dem lawmakers are sitting back and enjoying it
“It’s her ability to say the truth in a way that really gets under his skin, I think it’s just reminding people there’s a lot more to this story than what he says,” the aide, who wished to remain anonymous, admitted. “In this situation with COVID-19 and truly needing the facts and that’s a way of actually breaking through the clutter.”
As for her fellow Democrats, while not all of them approve of her baiting the easily-riled Trump, she also has her fans.
“There is a benefit in owning him like this from time to time,” said one House Democratic aide. “She engages in these fights and it says, I am not going to be pushed around, I am powerful and my power is not dependent on you.”

Then it’s only fair they keep the portion of income taxes that goes to support the failing red states.

And yet… And yet… States like NY pay in far more federal funds than they receive already. So let’s just… stop paying in for say, hmm… 6 months?

He’s confusing “illegally” with “traitorously” in the convolutions of his syph-infested “mind”.

Jonesy forgot Alaska entirely and didn’t draw in Delaware as blue; he deserves a D minus in geography.

My mother, when confronted with “YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!” usually responded by saying “You’re right. But I can sure make you wish you had! ”
That seems to be what the Mango Maroon is doing… or threatening to do… And I totally agree w/ @kaffekup’s point about who’s paying for all this.
