Seething
Trump threw a fundraiser in the party room at Mar-a-Lago yesterday. There he whined and complained about the fact that Hillary Clinton hasn’t been “investigated” since the election while for some mysterious and baffling reason he has.
In the closed-door remarks, a recording of which was obtained by CNN, Trump also praised China’s President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn’t mind making such a maneuver himself.
“He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”
Haha, hoho, funny joke. He should take over all the comedy work.
He’s been in a bad mood lately.
Morale at the White House has dropped to new lows, and Trump himself has seethed at the negative headlines.
On Saturday, among donors gathered in the grand ballroom named for himself at Mar-a-Lago, Trump pondered the happiness of his former rival, wondering aloud whether she was enjoying life after the campaign.
“Is Hillary a happy person? Do you think she’s happy?” he said. “When she goes home at night, does she say, ‘What a great life?’ I don’t think so. You never know. I hope she’s happy.”
That’s not much to build his life on – hoping Hillary Clinton is as miserable as he is. Do we think she is? Nope.
But now that he has said it, watch for Republicans scrambling to justify it.

Trump did stand-up ‘comedy’ on Saturday night.
There’s more. The man’s a riot.
On his China ‘joke’, isn’t that scenario exactly what the GOP were shitting themselves transparent over with Obama? How many times did we hear that he was going to fabricate a national emergency and implement martial law just so he could suspend or cancel the 2016 election?
Just a joke, though, now that Trump says it openly, as he did not only at Mar-a-Lago, but also at the Gridiron bash I linked to at #2..
AoS, your blockquote in #2 helped me see something. Trump named his closest supporters, and he threw them under the bus, one-by-one. And he called that his “self-deprecating humor” — as if he was poking fun at himself.
One way to explain this is Ophelia’s observation that Trump lacks theory of mind. He really has no clue what other people are doing when they poke fun at themselves.
But of course Dave. All those people he dumped on are just extensions of his own self to dispose of as he will!
Obama should’ve cancelled the 2016 election; I’m sure we’d be in somewhat better shape if he had.
He still has donors. There’s still some loot remaining to be parceled out.
