    Anthony Scaramucci has said that Trump will turn on everyone and then the entire US.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...hen-entire-country/ar-AAFEBNG?ocid=spartandhp

    From what I can tell, Trump has a tendency to put his shortsighted self interests first, and what is in the broader interests of the country and the world second. As such, he might get mad and turn on the entire country if he were impeached, removed from office and became laughing stock.

    Will Trump turn on the entire country?

    If you think its a far fetched notion, recall that Berlusconi turned on Italy:

    Hmmm. Sounds like something Trump would do under similar circumstances.

    Obviously you haven't noticed- but the democratic leadership has already turned on the entire country. The left is normalizing what we used to call trash conduct- and I'm not sorting that out by color, but by conduct and values. The battle here is to save the country from the ideology they have degraded themselves to, and restore values- self-respect, pride in your own character and conduct, self reliance, respecting others and not taking their freedoms, paying your own way instead of demanding others finance your fantasies. The right is promoting the values that built the nation, and the ongoing effort to improve them for everyone.

    We modern philistines tell ourselves that rejecting the customs and conventions of a stuffy, old elite will release creativity and bring about a renaissance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Self-expression replaces creativity when disintegrating societies look downward, and that is what the left is promoting and embracing today. And of course- Blaming Trump for the decisions they make... "The devil made me do it " kind of BS. Consequences of their decisions and actions are someone else's problem too. These people dodge responsibility for themselves in everything. I keep waiting to hear a democrat step up to the plate and do otherwise- and it's not happening. They are the ones selling the nation out.... AND BLAMING TRUMP FOR IT.

    Scaramucci is a political parasite.
    Scaramucci supported the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.[27] In 2008, Scaramucci also served as a fundraiser for President Barack Obama.[28] In September 2010, however, Scaramucci asked Obama at a CNBC Town Hall meeting when he was going to "stop whacking Wall Street like a piñata."[29]

    Scaramucci has tweeted at various times that he has "always been for strong gun control laws", and that "Republicans should support gay marriage".[30]

    He served as the national finance co-chair for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.[27]

    In 2015, on a Fox Business Network television appearance, Scaramucci called Trump a "hack politician" whose rhetoric is "anti-American and very, very divisive." He further warned Trump to "cut it out now", and "stop all this crazy rhetoric." In December 2015, Scaramucci criticized Trump's call for a border wall between Mexico and the U.S. He also criticized Trump for "making a fundamental mistake of trying to blame all of Islam and all Muslims for what is the ideology and the actions of a minority."[27]

    Ahead of the 2016 election, Scaramucci tweeted that he hoped Hillary Clinton would be the next president.[27]

    As far as I'm concerned he did that a long time ago.

    He has a very strong case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They go scorched Earth when things go bad. It mostly depends on how many people stay loyal to him and if he can spin an election defeat.

    As an aside, his personality disorder is NOT the same as the general term of being a narcissist. Just wanted to get ahead of the classic Trumpkin deflection.

    As conditions for such persons deteriorate, the nature and level of the claims and insults also degrades and lowers in quality. That speaks for the position of the person- not the validity of their claims.

    I'm blaming democrats for what democrats are doing when it is harmful to the society, the nation, or to truth. I would do the same with republicans. Do you have a problem with that?

    Some opponents falsely will attack the Dems instead of examining closely the deteriorating mental and emotional condition of President Trump.

    The secret service is watching him closely now.

    Some people will truthfully point out that the problem isn't Trump. That it existed before Trump became president and that the dems have taken things through the roof since he became President and that he acts in self defense of himself and others as opposed to the Dems who have been on a 24/7/365 campaign of hatred and divisiveness ever since.

    He "defends" himself against anyone who has anything critical to say of him, which is everyone except the biggest of sycophants. If you are not 100% supportive of him and everything he does you get attacked.

    Terry Pratchett's 'Small Gods' is an excellent commentary on deities and their need of worship.

    Are you a psychiatrist or are you just someone who is narcissistic enough to believe he can diagnose someone without credentials? Wow! Diagnose yourself first...

    Trump has been diagnosed by many many professional psychiatrists. He is a textbook case.
