'He's going berserk': Insider claims 'angry' Trump can't handle not being president



https://www.rawstory.com/trump-is-going-berserk/


Bob Brigham May 29, 2021
..........................

Former Trump Organization Executive Vice President Barbara Res was interviewed by MSNBC's Alex Witt.................


....................
"It's interesting, Donald Trump certainly responded to the grand jury news and there's a statement calling it 'the greatest witch hunt in American history,'" Witt noted. "I mean, we've heard that refrain over and over again from him, but Politico asks, how can it be a political witch hunt if he's not in the game anymore? Goes on to say, simple: float another run for president. But Trump's aides tell Politico that his interest in running in 2024, it's not just a defense tactic. One has said he's missing being president terribly. I'm curious, given your 18 years of working with him, what do you make of all this? How do you think he's reacting to all this in private?"


"Well, first of all, I think he's going berserk," Res replied.

"I think he's so angry. All the things that he put in place, the things he put in place to get elected the first time and almost get elected the second time, both were unreasonably based, and all the other things, the attorney general and the kinds of -- the judges and all the things that he thought he had working for him all of a sudden are not there anymore. it's -- he can't avoid this," she explained. "This happened and this is something he thought he could avoid."

"And I'm sure he's looking for people to blame. He's screaming at people, everybody, he's probably blaming [Allen] Weisselberg, he's blaming his sons, his daughter, you know, anyone that's available to him," Res said. "And he will, I think, throw any one of them under the bus to protect himself."

1. I'd love it if Joe said, "because I'm President and the former guy's not" in response to some

question about policy differences. That would really yank his chain.

[riversedge]

58. Agree. that would dig deep at Trumps ego!

[malaise]

2. He could prove this by jumping from a window on June 14

That would be a hell of a national birthday present

[PJMcK]

31. Damn, I love your posts!

But why wait two weeks?

Jump, Trump! Jump! Do it today!

[malaise]

33. I'd throw a party

early

[calimary]

38. Definitely! I would, too!

Whenever he finally does do us all a REAL favor and leave permanently, I WILL be celebrating. That will be a wonderful day. That will be a day of long-awaited liberation. I expect to feel a sense of great relief and release from a rather nauseating kind of captivity.

It will be fascinating to see how the republi-CON body responds when the head is finally cut off.

NOTHING lasts forever. Not even YOU, donald. Thank God!

[malaise]

49. Oh yes but the sooner he croaks or goes to prison the better

He is a danger to humanity

[Trueblue1968]

55. i want to hear MORE about Rump going crazy!!!!!! TELL ME MORE PLEASE.

[smirkymonkey]

60. Oh, if only!

Wouldn't that be a dream!

[mnmoderatedem]

3. going??

that ship sailed long ago.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Trump is a caged animal....

At his Turkish harem of a club down in Florida.

The lawsuits, the goings on in NY are getting to him. Good.

Eat at his rotten core of a heart. Age him quickly. Make his guts go crazy. All the evil this man has done, may it all come to the surface that he face justice not only for what he did to others these past 40 plus years, but for what he did to this country. May those who still pledge fealty to him suffer the indignities of their decisions.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Even the smallest, most twisted criminal mind wants to avoid prison.

Hence, all the projection.

[New Breed Leader]

6. You "think"?

You don't KNOW?

[Baitball Blogger]

7. Not good news for those of us who live in Florida.

Man's got to show he's still in power. I expect to see De Santis build a Pyramid of sacrifice somewhere in the state, where they can find people to walk up the stairs and where they'll remove our hearts to feed to Trump, to appease him

[Wicked Blue]

25. Um, I think he's in Bedbugcrazy, NJ for the summer

My condolences to NJ

[calimary]

40. Bedbugcrazy, New Jersey!!!

I LOVE it!

Oh, MAN, the creativity around here …

It just blows my mind!

[Wicked Blue]

51. ...

[Katinfl]

8. Sorry

He did not “almost” get elected the second time. He lost by a pretty good margin. I am so sick of his 75 million votes…….Biden got over 80 million. Not even close.

[SoCalDavidS]

28. IT IS NOT A POPULAR VOTE!!!

It doesn't matter if he won by 20 Million Nationally.

All that matters is the Electoral College.

If a total of 40,000 Votes, across THREE STATES, had switched, he would have won.

FORTY THOUSAND, Out Of 150 Million.

[Norbert]

37. If it wasn't for June 6, 1944 we would be ruled by Adolph Hitler III today

Joe won: 306 - 232 period. By the former guys standards this was a landslide I won'd deal with Ifs ands or buts. The next worry should be Nov 2022.

[SoCalDavidS]

48. You're Comparing This With A World War?

Can we stop with using Hitler, The Holocaust or WW II for comparisons?

[Paladin]

52. The Hitler comparison is apt.

We minimize trump and his brain-dead fascist followers at our peril.

[PJMcK]

34. The Electoral College vote could have been much closer

Just as in 2016, a few thousand votes in a few key states would have changed the EC count and Trump could have won.

Unfortunately, we don't elect our presidents with a popular vote.

The EC vote could have been very different.

[ProfessorGAC]

53. There Is, However, A Probabilistic Element

We like to talk about that 40,000 in 4 states.
But, it's not a random sample of 40,000 out of a 150+ million voters.
It's those exact 40,000 people in 4 different states.
Mathematically, the chance of T***p winning is very tiny.
Too close for comfort? I suppose for some, yes.
But, despite that number, we didn't really come that close to a second term of idiocy.

[greenjar_01]

9. The whole story is some dude speculating about somebody else's mental state

Clownish.

[Towlie]

26. You mean the "dude" named Barbara Res?

 
←

Barbara Res told that to another "dude" named Alex Witt, who, in spite of her name, is also not a dude.

[livetohike]

10. Good. I hope everything falls down on him at once and

buries him. I hope he wallows in a flood of self pity for whatever days remain in his life.

[abqtommy]

11. Former Fascist Guy was never elected. His enablers, supporters and cultists made sure

that he won the ratfucking in 2016. It is very telling about a person's mental condition that now
he's angry and misses being "President", which is something he never was and never can be.

[Generic Brad]

12. Going berserk? Like that's a new development?

Sounds like the same old prick hasn't changed in any way to me.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. This is the first post I read this morning. It makes me happy

to know he's miserable.

[SoCalDavidS]

30. She's Speculating That He's Miserable

She has no real idea. The article reads like some pundit on TV, trying to reason out the situation.

[calimary]

42. Even so, it's strategically good to see this stuff out there in the public eye

Hope there’s more of it!

A LOT more.

The more about how deranged he is, angry, frustrated, going nuts… that’s when mistakes are made. And the more vulnerable and unstable he makes himself, the better. Not for him. For all the rest of us.

[Buns_of_Fire]

43. You're right, it's speculation. But if the speculation pisses

him off, that's okay with me, too.

[Bluepinky]

14. This makes me smile.

It’s payback for what he put the country through the last four years. Let him slowly stew in his own putrid juices. This is the first time in his life he can’t get what he wants.

[dlk]

15. Trump was unstable when he was president

Now that he’s not the center of the daily news media and the legal walls are closing in, it’s not difficult to to imagine he’s having a difficult time. Serious mental illness tends to be progressive.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. I want video of this or else it's BS and wishful thinking.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Going, going . . . gone.

[eShirl]

18. they're guessing what he's doing now, they don't know

but they're likely close to the mark

[hollygolively]

19. Being President is the ultimate attention-getter

Trump thrives on attention.

Being the President fed his need well.

Now that he is not President, it must kill him to not be front and center in every news cycle.

[ananda]

20. Berserq. True or false:

98% of Republicans are Berserqers.

[COL Mustard]

23. False.

It’s at least 99%.

[ananda]

62. Lol. I guess I was being generous.

[NanceGreggs]

21. This was inevitable.

We've all seen/heard this man on a daily basis for four-plus years, so it isn't a stretch to surmise exactly how he is behaving right now.

He went from holding the most powerful position on the planet to being an increasingly irrelevant nobody. He once had control over everything that was happening around him - now he has no control over anything.

His life's blood for the past four years has been attention - being in the news 24/7, adoring fans attending his rallies, King of the Twitterverse - and now it's all gone.

Even his much-touted blog is a flop, confirming the fact that even his most ardent devotees are not all that interested in what he has to say.

And he knows what's in the documents now in the possession of SDNY, and he must be scared shitless about what is now known - and can be proven - in court.

Anyone who doesn't think that the Orange Man isn't freaking out right now was obviously not paying attention for the entirety of his tenure in office.

[SWBTATTReg]

22. Good. I hope he has a heart attack.

[demtenjeep]

59. I vote stroke-so debilitating that the only thing that works is what's left of his brain and eyes

and he has to watch as ivanka hatefully changes his grossly increasing shitty diapers

[smirkymonkey]

61. +1000

Bwahahaha! I like how you think! No fate is too horrible for TFG and his grifting spawn.

[Mike Nelson]

24. Huh?

"... get elected the first time and almost get elected the second time..." shows the "insider" may have some mental problems, also. Hillary almost got elected the first time. She won the vote, but lost the Electoral College. The 2020 contest was clearly Biden all the way... Crooked Donald did not "almost" win anything.

[SoCalDavidS]

50. 40,000 Votes Out Of 155 Million Across 3 States

What don't you understand about that?

And he did get around 75 MILLION votes. Do you not accept that reality?

I do. I don't like it, but I accept it. So much so that I absolutely Hate America.

So yeah, the term "ALMOST" is applicable in my opinion.

[Kablooie]

27. I would imagine it is hard for every president at first

But every one else would start to look forward to what they can do with the rest of their life.
Trump is obsessed with how he can grab that power back.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Barbara Res hasn't had contact with him for years.

As such, she's speculating on what she thinks is happening. She went on air to sell her book and discussed what Trump is doing post election. I'd like to think she might be right, but we don't know. She's not an "insider" as the typical Raw Story title implies.

[MissMillie]

32. that ship sailed a long time ago (n/t)

.

[Enoki33]

35. Any member of humanity that constantly

thirsts for revenge against perceived enemies, and has absolutely no remorse for the deaths of half a million people he swore to protect is capable of anything. His accelerating loss of control is a direct threat to this nation. It's still not too late to heed the warnings of those who were lucky enough to have survived the fascist murderous leaders they bear witness to.

[left-of-center2012]

36. There have been dictators in the past who were crazy

And look at all the damage they did.

I won't rule Trump out until he's crossed into the great beyond.

[llashram]

39. I hope this is true

maybe he'll stroke out. I would celebrate this racist, grifting vicious human being passing from this existence into an eternal HELL!!!

[Deuxcents]

44. My thoughts, too

[Treefrog]

41. If he only knew how he's still living rent free in so many people's heads.

Two of these threads already on du. This obsession with the former guy is something I will never understand.

[Deuxcents]

45. For my part, I wish him HELL

The more I hear he’s miserable, the better. I’m waiting for the real earthly judgement..soon, I hope

[Bayard]

46. This is why I laugh at people who say he's going to run again

He's either going to be in prison, or long since dead.

[Thtwudbeme]

47. Most important part of this:

He's screaming at people, everybody, he's probably blaming [Allen] Weisselberg, he's blaming his sons, his daughter, you know, anyone that's available to him," Res said. "And he will, I think, throw any one of them under the bus to protect himself."

I HOPE he throws his brats "under the bus."

Trump is too old, too out of shape, and too out of touch with reality to run again. I don't care if he fund raises, and get the rednecks riled up all day- it isn't going to happen. The ones we need to worry about are Ivanka, and that weirdo she married. If Il Douche can get rid of them for us- then good.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. I Don't Believe This Story

He may be angry that he lost his shield from investigation, indictment or conviction.
Sure, he's a narcissistic egomaniac and dug the attention, but the degree of revilement was greater than the fawning. So, it's no quite the ego feed it otherwise would be.
He hates not being president because he has no power to keep people from looking at the legality of his actions.
And, he's kicked off Twitter. He's probably more upset about that than anything else.

[struggle4progress]

56. No surprise there: he couldn't handle being President either

[Midnight Writer]

57. This is just hype for the Trump Summer Tour. His fans love to see him go berserk.

[Blue Owl]

63. Suck it Donny you fat fuck piece of shit
