Bob Woodward: Trump Testing How Far People Will Go Along With Him | The Last Word | MSNBC
I am seeing narcissistic personality traits of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini within President Donald J. Trump as a fascism dictator. And his supporters as a (brainwashed cult) with psychological problems’ and losing contact with (reality) or psychosis. God save us.. Save our Democracy ! ! “Lock Him Up ! !” ..
I totally agree. Hitler and the Germans who gave him support. Exact same situation with Trump and his followers. It is totally frightening.
Sum Trump up, “Bitter table of one”.
Trump supporters have praised him for not starting a war. If he starts a war now, they will praise him for that.
@Eva Zu Biden’s outstanding in the Democratic Party did not really mean the support of everyone. Biden’s biggest opponent is actually the left wing of the Democratic Party. Many of the leftists of the Democratic Party have made no secret of their socialist status. They have a soft spot for high taxes, universal health insurance, and social welfare, and under the banner of environmental protection, they are ready to continue to expand the government and take over everything. These socialist policies are the most attractive to young people without economic strength and some immigrants. It has become a consensus to rob the rich, but this is not a road to sustainable development of a normal society, let alone a road to a world power.
@L Diamondz then… start digging your bunkers… because a lot will happen
@rose blue “BIDEN IS AND WILL BE A TERRIBLE ENEMY”???….. Who is responsible for the 250,000 American casualty in the war against Covid19….. Biden or Trump??
He has started a war! It’s in your own country.
They praise regardless of what he does. They change views as trump sees fit. It’s really a cult of stupid
Psychiatrist said he’s a sadist like his dad, enjoying torture of others.
@Ian T
Lmaoooooo
Awe the trolls are so cute in their desperation to please poppa vladz 😂
@Blue 101 what about your supreme leader Xi.. 👎👎👎
@Eva Zu faker
@Blue 101 I know the truth doesn’t sit comfortably with your type. You can’t handle it.
And Mary, who is a psychologist, and in the family, says the same.
I think he is trying to divert people’s attention from one thing to another.
You got it. I think Trump has known more than we have that he lost the election. All this press about every bit and piece of the election and the coddling to get him to accept his loss is actually allowing him to make the changes and appointments to finish his coup. This is what is happening.
@Judy Bargenquast I agree. He needs to go to jail. Also Republicans are setting up traps for Biden as well.
Toh
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
Asked about his veiled threat to leave America if he lost,
Trump said: “The Greenland option is still on the table”.
There has to be a way of forcefully evicting him out of office.This man is just a danger to the United States just like Hillary stated.
JOE BIDEN👌👌👌👌👌

Democrat senators believed it last year but now they are silent. They even penned letters outlining their concerns about the Dominion Voting systems.
In a December 2019 letter to Dominion Voting Systems, which has been mired in controversy after a human error involving its machines in Antrim County, Michigan, resulted in incorrect counts, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Amy Klobuchar and congressman Mark Pocan warned about reports of machines “switching votes,” “undisclosed vulnerabilities,” and “improbable” results that “threaten the integrity of our elections.”

Keoki Ciervo He’s already been impeached, that would be a waste of time – the weak Republicans will still not probably do their jobs.
squeeze bag – Who debunked the Russian conspiracy? Barr and Trump and we all know what that means. Can’t wait until access is given to the full un-redacted Mueller report. Trump will go down in history as the most crooked, criminal President ever.
The difference between now and 1974 is the Republicans in the Senate would not stomach Nixon. Today’s Republican Senate is a worthless pile of turds.
Trump is a psychopath.
Yes, he tries out how far followers and Republicans will stand behind.
Undermining democracy is his plan.
Lies, fear, false accusations are his tools.
Trump supporters are so gullible. They believe a person who lied more than 20,000 times over actual facts. Lol.
@ODell Simpson so 1 lie vs 20k ok genius that’s your story troll.
Jwow
ohhttps://youtu.be/cfpRAU2b7YM
@ODell Simpson Biden did not end his “Last’ presidential run because of plagiarism that was in his first run in 1988, YOU LIED, therefore since we don’t know how many times you have lied before we can never trust or believe anything you say.
I would dare say that we, at some point in our lives, have all lied but nothing, I mean nothing compares to the habitual, pathological liar that trump is, end of story.
@Jalapenohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmPw0YZo4M
Trump’s entire lying presidency in 3 minutes.
+As Cesar Sayoc described it, attending a Trump rally is “like a new found drug.”
Trump can start war abroad and start unrest war among Americans. Pure evil, selfish.
@halfpiint the media started that NOT TRUMP
@MrAckers75 If you believe that you are doing yourself a great disservice. The media only showed us what Trump was doing. The media didn’t tell the White Supremacists to *STAND BACK & STAND BY* Those were Trump’s words!
@MrAckers75 TRUMP STARTED THE BIGGEST WAR THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER EXPERIENCED! *THE WAR ON COVID* & he ran away, pretended it was a hoax & left us on our own to fight this war without a leader!
@halfpiint omg you drank too much cnn coolaid
The white supremacy was as usual utter nonsense as was the proud boys that was started by an amazing white supremacist from Puerto Rico🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Ask yourself who was rioting you lunatic
Sure, and you’re pope dickhead the last
Ive said since day one that Trump will start a war rather then leave office
me too. Its really scary
I said it during the 2016 debates when he refused to commit to accepting the results of the election should he lose!
You’re obviously not gonna concede defeat if you’re can’t even pretend you’re gonna concede defeat!
And I guarantee you when he does go into full rage mode, his supporters will be like “ooh, how were we supposed to know he would be like this”
Trump sees gloomy days ahead as the lawsuits are overwhelming just the same as Covid-19 is with dying Americans!
@Football Nerd It is totally terrifying. The longer this goes on the more dangerous the situation is becoming. I hope after all this, if we are still alive, that legal steps are taken from this ever happening again.
There is still 60+ days to go, i am so afraid of what he will do, and the fact he continues, unchecked, to do as much damage as he can, is so bad. I live in the U.K, and i’m not laughing anymore, im shaking in my shoes! I’m wondering how america can allow this farce to continue, and when will someone step up and stop this from continuing any further.
Thousands of your people are dying in a pandemic, nothing is being done, thousands more will die if he is allowed to start a war before he finally goes.
Isn’t there an emergency President, during a war. So if Trump declares a war, he stays until the war is over ?
In case of a strike: send only MAGA supporters. They like a fight. How could the American voters be so stupid in electing a madman.
I ask that question all the time it is a cult of Trumpites
@Reynaldo M. Barroga How childish. Grow up.
@Reynaldo M. Barroga #ProudBoys, #ProudBoys whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And start a moron tax or a RTT- Republican traitor tax , same thing, and use that money to pay for bounties on their heads of the Maga traitors
well, technically, we didn’t. He did not win the popular vote.
This system of the president being in power having the power is dangerous. Megalomaniacs could destroy the country.
@Nadia Silvershine Well……we BLACK people tried to tell y’all during his ROTTEN RACIST campaign…..we KNEW the ROT that he IS !!!
@Terry Hawkins His racism goes back to the 70s when he and his father refused to rent apartments to Blacks and Puerto Ricans, and then, of course, Trump called for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, who were exonerated.
@Nadia Silvershine ikr…..the SAD part IS….70 Million+ STILL turned out and voted for this ANIMAL….. even KNOWING his RACIST ROT !! This says a LOT about Americkkka…..and it’s SAD !!!
@Nadia Silvershine …I KNEW BY THE SHEER FEAR IN WHITES HEARTS AFTER 8 YEARS OF A WELL EDUCATED BLACK MAN AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF. THIS IS WHITEY’S LAST LEG RIGHT HERE!..LOL!!! #OBIDIAH. #KARMAHASCOME2COLLECTESAU
When you elect a megalomaniac, it just amplifies their point of view power begets more power….
Yes. He is right. Trump is testing if he can stay illegally.
NY State already has 2 cases (he’s already identified as individual number one), and he can’t be pardoned for that.
evidence of fraud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMyUht-21HY
it’s what trump does: he pushes until he meets resistance. he’s pushing now.
@matt russilloTrump is going to be your president for the next four years
@Pretty R Absolutely.
Trump has gone too far, even if he’s just bluffing. This is not a game show; peoples’ lives and livelihoods are at stake. THIS IS NOT A TEST. He must be arrested.
I’m sorry. Are you under the impression that people’s lives and livelihoods ACTUALLY matter to the Republi-cons?
@Chad Simmons At this point, I’d rather see Trump in jail doing the Epstein shuffle.
@Chad Simmons Don’t worry. They have special places for traitors like trump.
@stockholm17 Trump’s house at Mara Largo is 80,000 square feet, makes Obama’s mansion look like a dog kennel 🤣🤣🤣
@Chad Simmons Ok, Chad.
At last some news revealing what really is the agenda of Trump and Trumpism.
tell us
Asked about his veiled threat to leave America if he lost,
Trump said: “The Greenland option is still on the table”.
@Dana Bright
You! You’re one of the things on his agenda. Use you, use you and use you more.
This craziness is the fault of trump’s cronies in his Administration and of the GOP who have been catering to and enabling his evil.
It’s why they are now known as the Republi-con Empire and their Master of Evil, Emperor Turtletine. Help us Georgia Obi-wans. You are our only hope.
Please, Georgia!
Trump will never take his own life. He doesn’t have the balls.
#LOVETHEHANDLE
Adolph Hitler : 1, Donald the Duck : 0
And, it would be a service to humanity.
A narcissist like him doesn’t very likely commit suicide. If he did I expect it to be a suicide where he takes a few more people with him. He doesn’t have the balls to go out like Hitler in the bunker.
Trump is now behaving like a cornered animal and he’s capable of doing some very dangerous acts. We must remember that he’s just changed the man in charge of defence for another yes man lacky. It is time that Trump must be removed from office as he is such a danger to all Americans
This craziness is the fault of trump’s cronies in his Administration and of the GOP who have been catering to his and enabling his evil.
Nixon’s fans didn’t send multiple death threats to anyone who said “No” to him for 4 years
Trump is engineering a Political Coup to stay illegally in power. He truly has a Criminal Mind.
