Paranoid Trump Thinks Mike Pence Is Out To Get Him

According to a report from Axios this week, Donald Trump is growing increasingly paranoid and he believes that members of his own administration - including Vice President Mike Pence - are somehow out to get him. The reasoning behind this assertion is just as dumb as you'd expect, and Farron Cousins lays it out.

According to a report earlier this week from Axios. And I'm sorry, it's kind of a funny story. So it's a little hard to keep a straight face for it. According to this report from Axios, Donald Trump is holed up in the white house right now, feeling paranoid as hell. And in his paranoia, he has now turned on those closest to him. And by those closest to him, I'm talking of course, about Mitch McConnell, who he attacked in a memo to Republicans earlier this week, I believe is Monday evening. He did that. He's turned on white house counsel, Pat Cipollini. And most importantly, he is turned against his own vice president. Mike Pence because paranoid Trump believes that Mike Pence turned his back on him. Now throughout all of this hubbub of, uh, election fraud, the Trump's trying to be, uh, trying to sell to the public over the past month and a half.

Mike Pence has been relatively quiet. You know, Mike Pence has not been on the phone, making these calls to Republicans, telling them to overturn the election, telling them to stand up for Donald Trump. He's basically done nothing. And as we reported earlier this week, he is planning on, you know, confirming Joe Biden's, uh, electoral victory on that January 6th session, uh, joint session of Congress where they're going to formalize the electoral college vote. Uh, he's going to do that. And then he's immediately leaving the country. So he doesn't have to deal with Trump that also those reports have also likely played into Donald Trump's fears that Mike Pence is now somehow turning against him. But it is funny. It is funny because what Trump is so afraid of right now, why he thinks people have turned on him has nothing to do with what they've done. It's what they haven't done.

Like it's okay. Not okay. But it's kind of more understandable to be paranoid about something. When you see somebody doing something and you're like, wait a minute, what's that person up to that's creepy. I don't like that. Versus Trump's mad at these people and they're not even doing it. Like they're literally doing nothing. And he says, that's suspicious. You must be against me if you're not doing anything because he does want them out there. He wants them out. They're stoking these electoral fears. He wants them out there pushing these lies that even his favorite media outlets are having to apologize for. At this point, there's nothing left for the guy. So he's panicking and he's freaking out and he's lashing out at every possible human being around him because he knows at this point, he is a rat trapped in a corner and there's no escape. There's nothing he can do to stay in office it's over. And that reality is finally starting to sink into his head. He knows he can't stave off inevitable anymore. All of his attempts have failed. All of his allies are now just backing down and not doing anything he's alone.

And for the first time he's realizing how alone he is. And I have to say he deserves everything that is happening to him right now.
