Is Trump delusional? You have to wonder…
… after Donald Trump hijacked his Monday afternoon meeting with congressional leaders to whine about his loss of the popular vote…
… falsely telling the lawmakers that he would have won a majority if millions of illegal immigrants had not voted against him.
The claim, which he has made before on Twitter, has been judged to be untrue by numerous fact-checkers. But the new president’s willingness to bring it up at Monday’s White House reception in the State Dining Room is an indication that he remains focused on his election even assuming power. …
Several people familiar with the closed-door meeting Monday night, who asked to remain anonymous in discussing a private conversation, said Mr. Trump used the opportunity to brag about his victory.
As part of that conversation, Mr. Trump made the assertion about illegal immigrants voting in huge numbers for Mrs. Clinton. That is similar to a Twitter message he posted in late November that said he would have won the popular vote “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”
Voting officials across the country have said there is virtually no evidence of people voting illegally, and certainly not millions of them. White House officials did not respond to requests for a comment on Mr. Trump’s discussion of the issue.
…
Representative Steny Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland, who attended the meeting, said on CNN that Mr. Trump also talked about the size of the crowd for his inauguration speech.
“It was a huge crowd, a magnificent crowd. I haven’t seen such a crowd as big as this,” Mr. Hoyer told CNN, quoting Mr. Trump. He added that Mr. Trump didn’t “spend a lot of time on that, but it was clear that it was still on his mind.”
The president’s comments about the election results and his inauguration came as he gathered the bipartisan leadership of Congress for a White House reception. He also sought to build support for an ambitious legislative agenda despite days earlier castigating the very institution he needs to approve it.

Either get him on his meds or get him off them, before he does real harm to this country.

..and while your at it – hold the Press’ feet to the fire – they are failing massively in exposing this – a lie is a lie is a lie.

Donnie’s delusional is a well proven rhetorical question. Right? Donnie’s 4% truth rating says it all. Donald Trump had biggest inaugural crowd ever? Metrics don’t show it. Tiny turnout. Least popular. KGB… U.S. NATO withdrawl… Israel now withholding Intel b/c Putin!

The Pussy Grabber has been in his own little bubble since he was a little boy (not much has changed since). His delusion is absolute because he surrounds himself with sycophants who would NEVER tell the Emperor there are no new clothes (Period!), and has been doing so all his life. His personal “reality” is so far away from what the rest of agree is real that he cannot ever understand what it is to actually strive in life. Big spoiled 5-year-old.

This f**king idiot has no clue how dangerous it is for a sitting President to make the claim the the elections of the United States of America are corrupt and fixed. This is much more than delusional thinking, it’s an attempt to undermine every future election and legitimize a far right conspiracy fantasy that can very easily end in violence.
Add to that the demonization of the news media in an attempt to destroy the free press, what we have is the making of a despot.

sadly, the pres of yours is suffering from a very real and diagnosable psycho maladie. It’s in the eyes – just watch – the inability to look outwards, always focused on the only thing he has of value, himself. That evasion includes his entire family too – rewatch the pathetic dance and the dull eyes of the l’il baron – no ability to focus. best of luck folks.

I read somewhere that someone had personally heard Herr Drumpfenfuhrer call his youngest son a name that indicated that there was something not perfect about him.
So, IMO, that child needs to not be the subject of any negativity. IF it’s true – and it appears that there is SOMETHING – possibly something that is merely a kid who does not want to be a part of any of the crapolina his idiot dad puts out.

As I continue to watch this nightmare the trumpeters have brought upon the world unfold,I cannot get that old legend out of my mind,Nero fiddled while Rome burned.Trump will be so destructive,yet so oblivious to reality,that he will be up in his golden penthouse looking at the city below,and fiddling away,as America is reduced to ashes.He probably won’t blame the Christians as Nero did,since the evangelical wackos have convince him he’s one of them,but he will blame everything and everyone else,except himself.

One word ” delegation ”
It’s always an out when you have no clue how to do your job.
In the words of bill O’Reilly…
” Kelly Ann saved that man ( trump ) from self destruction ”
If all the above doesn’t scare you ? You don’t have a pulse

Trump lied about the weather during his inauguration, for crying out loud. There is something wrong with this man.
