Just Imagine What It’s Like to Be Anywhere Near Trump Right Now
THE NEW ABNORMAL
After this week’s House Jan. 6 revelations, the former president appears to be losing support—and panicking about what happens next. It’s only going to get worse, says Mary Trump.

“I think that people are tired,” says McMullin. “They are tired of the chaos and the broken politics and the extremism. They want change, but they want more constructive, effective change, not the, you know, not the extremes who have just failed to govern.”

According to McMullin, reports about Trump’s attempts to launch a 2024 presidential campaign stem from the fact that “he’s getting nervous that his support is weakening.”

Mary Trump says her uncle’s mental health conditions are “serious and they’re deteriorating. Any serious illness that's not treated gets worse over time.

“He is addicted to being at the center of attention. I’m sure he’s as riveted by these hearings as we are, but in completely different ways. And for him to feel that the focus is shifting away from him or that he’s losing power will make things even worse because he won’t confront that and process it and deal with it. He will bury it and therefore worsen his situation.”

“I can only imagine what it’s like to be anywhere near him right now. I'm sure the temper, the out-of-control narcissism must be just unspeakably difficult for people around him to deal with. Not that I have any compassion for any of them at this point, but yeah, it’s only gonna get worse from here.”

I just saw a documentary. Many people are so exhausted from the climb to the top they slip and fall on the way down.

Just sayin’. Old people need to be cautious, many injuries are caused by falls.

I hope so, anyway. This is ultimately what happened to Nixon and did him in. The country (and the world) is better off with this sleazy con-man in decline.
