I forgot on last tidbit about Trump's week. A court ordered him to pay $44,100 to Stormy Daniels to cover her legal fees in a Non-Disclosure Agreement case. That one headline:

US President ordered by court to pay porn star's legal fees

would have topic #1 for any candidate or President before Trump. This week it merits 'oh-by-the-way' status.
Yeah, for sure. I tend to think that if his taxes are revealed and with Cohen's book coming out...that could easily push him over the edge entirely. But there's probably more sh-it coming down the pike we don't know about yet. I do think that losing the election is what will definitely put him over the edge.

Then we had all better watch out because I really don't see this guy leaving peacefully. I don't see him packing up for Mar a Lago and heading off to greener golf courses or sandy beaches and rooms decked out in gold. I think his narcissistic injury will turn into full on rage and then only God knows what will go down. I'm sure it won't be pretty.

I mean at some point, after he pulls out all the stops, he might rage on for years. But he'll do so from behind bars or Florida. We'll soon see.

Her daughter filed for emancipation this week. Because her daughter is involved I'll forego the schadenfreude. I can't imagine what it's like growing up when your parents are washing their political laundry in public.

She cited years of childhood trauma and abuse. Holy cats.

These people all knew what Trump was before he won the nomination and the Presidency.
