« Donald Trump is going to -- if he starts losing -- he's going to take everyone down with him. I mean psychologically that's what he's going to do. He's not going to want to -- he's never going to support somebody who beats him.

So, it's sort of a difficult situation for the Republicans. They have this man who needs to win at all costs basically to stay out of prison, and at the same time he's such a personality. He's a narcissistic sociopath, and he -- he is not going to let anyone else win without trying to destroy them. »

— Conservative anti-MAGA contributor to The Atlantic George Conway on CNN in conversation with Jim Acosta and David Gergen.

Trump has a Götterdämmerung aspect about him. If he can't win then he's going to take everything and everybody down with him.

Trump almost certainly won't lose the Iowa caucuses. But if his totals are below expectations, he will lash out at everybody imaginable.

George Conway wins the internet today.

Circle Has a Normal One

Someone's going to write a book called "The Stupid Century", and they're going to make hundreds of dollars off of it.

Attorney George Conway is reacting to the overnight news Donald Trump is countersuing journalist E. Jean Carroll for defamation, after a jury in a civil trial found the ex-president liable for defaming and sexually abusing her. The jury did not find he committed rape.

Trump is suing Carroll, claiming her post-verdict remarks are defamatory.

“Trump alleges that Carroll defamed him when she appeared on CNN the morning after the jury awarded her $5 million in damages,” CNN reports. “Carroll was asked about the verdict finding Trump sexually abused Carroll but did not rape her as she alleged. Carroll said, ‘Oh, yes he did.'”

E. Jean Carroll’s attorney, the famed Robbie Kaplan, issued a statement criticizing Trump.

“Donald Trump again argues, contrary to both logic and fact, that he was exonerated by a jury that found that he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll,” she said, CNN reported. “Trump’s filing is thus nothing more than his latest effort to delay accountability for what a jury has already found to be his defamation of E. Jean Carroll. But whether he likes it or not, that accountability is coming very soon.”

That Trump lacks rudimentary maturity is not exactly news. But it's helpful to be reminded of his behavior because it seems to be acceptable to the people who support him.

Roberta Kaplan says Trump threw papers across table at Mar-a-Lago deposition because his legal team agreed to feed her lunch

Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch. Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.” “And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’” Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams. “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch. “He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina,” she said.

Most preschoolers would probably regard Trump's tantrums as inappropriate. He seems forever psychologically stuck in the "terrible twos".

Trump's behavior at the deposition was in character with him throwing ketchup and other food at the walls. In the words of George Conway, "He's a pig.".

When he's in prison I expect him to use his poop to write MAGA slogans on the wall of his cell.
