Trump Rattled: Staff, Fed Chair, Fox News Conspiring Against Me | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

In wake of economists warning of economic contraction, the New York Times reports Trump believes economists and hand-packed staff are conspiring against him, to take away his ‘calling card for re-election.’ Trump also believes new polls showing low approval ratings from his allies at Fox News are fake, claiming ‘something is going on.’

  1. t’rump in 2016: “I alone can fix these problems.”
    t’rump in 2019: “Everyone else is to blame for these problems!”
    Me: 🤔😄😆😅😂

    1. This is the actions of a cornered rat whose nest has been discovered. The con man suckered a lot of ignorant people but many of them are wising up to the scam.

  2. It looks like the incestuous lunatic is going off the deep end,hope his handlers can keep him away from the button.

    1. How is he going to plan for a recession. Harness the power of his 2 brain cells and limited 5 word vocabulary?

    2. I always say, we need a zoo for creatures like Trump, where his handlers can keep him from hurting others or himself, and where ppl can go to gawk at this specimen of sociopathic, narcissistic, pathological destitution of anything proper or good or normal.

    1. @Purple Flame Tarot Who was blowing smoke on whom? Trump blows smoke right up Sean and Trucker’s butt regularly.

    1. Must have a cabinet with no vacancies in order to invoke the 25th. Conveniently, the cabinet is almost empty, like my refrigerator

    2. @HScarlet Do you really think DT hung around with Epstein and never indulged himself with any of those teen age girls? There are men that can keep their zipper up but he’s not one of them.

    1. Ramon Guzman This is mostly used in the prison system…

  3. Not only was that crowd paid, there was a memo leaked telling them to not wear their steel goes boots but to bring their safety vests and protective gear. They were basically used as political props to sell the I’m with the workers shtick.

  4. It’s a global conspiracy. Everyone except Trump is in on it.
    We’re all conspiring to change the global and US statistics to make them indicate a recession is likely.
    Paranoia is a symptom of mental illness, BTW.

    1. Yeah, we are all in on it… the whole world is against trump… we only exist to give trump a hard life, we have no other reason for being….

      Or so trump thinks… the wild delusions of a narcissistic, sociopathic mind that is incapable of feeling or understanding anything but his own ego.

  5. Oh please Trump. They can’t forge the polls (well technically they can, but won’t for fear of getting caught), but they can downplay them as I’m sure many of the Fox News hosts did.

  6. Now I understand why he said “whether you love me or hate me, you have to vote for me..” Because people had to be there whether they wanted to or not, and they couldn’t leave early, and he knew they were trying to leave.

    1. @Wonder Wonderful Yeah, I’d say he just created a new wave of anti-Trump activists from that little sham that he pulled.

    1. & he’s a sore loser, EVEN when he DOESN’T lose… 🙄 … course, he probably just gets p!ssy, cuz anytime he “wins” it’s probably cuz he had to cheat. 😳

    2. Cool to see Maria Hinojosa on here—she did a lot of good programs about everyday working people for PBS not too long ago, and she looks good as usual.

    3. and what do failure always do?… they project their failures onto others, to take the focus off themselves. Trump is pathological in this department.

    1. @75joev Who’s going to pay for the wall?’ Mexico! The biggest lie of many. Blatant liars must be exposed by our media.

    2. @Thomas V.
      Just minor things that they’ve gone too far on.
      But the main point I’m making is if Trump does become totally unglued, which is entirely possible he won’t go quietly if they try and remove him from the Presidency. He may buckle under the pressure. What will happen ? Something very drastic, I hope not but maybe something crazy drastic.

    3. that’s exactly it… trump tells everyone “promises made, promises kept”, Hannity and others also echo this sentiment. But I have been asking conservatives for the last two years (almost since trump took office): “which campaign promises has Trump kept?”

      So far, though they will continue to claim he has kept promises, not one person has given me a single thing that trump promised in his campaign and later fulfilled as president. He hasn’t really fulfilled any promises he made after becoming president either.

      Sure, he reworked some trade deals.. but it wasn’t exactly like he said it would be when he made the promises. Take NAFTA for example: Trump said he was going to institute tariffs on Mexico and Canada. That didn’t exactly happen. And they did replace NAFTA with the USMCA… sort of. The USMCA hasn’t been ratified yet, which means this promise is not only unfulfilled in part, it is unfulfilled in whole.

      I could provide a long list of promises not kept. But it’s easier to list the few things he did keep. Off hand, all I can think of is declaring China a currency manipulator.

      Yet, conservatives will continue to support this habitual, pathological liar and believe in his fantasy world of fulfilled promises. Even those that directly affect the average conservative, like Trump’s fake middle-class tax breaks. THey all see they aren’t paying less in taxes; they are actually paying more, broadly. More than $90 billion more in 2018 for middle class. Yet they deny the objective reality and buy into the Trump cult anyway.

      Sad… how a liar like this can manipulate and delude an entire segment of the American populace.

    1. Reminds me of that scene from The Lion King when Scar says it was all the hyenas fault, it was their idea!

    2. Those who support the dictator the most are the first to go to the gulag. See Russia and N. Korea for examples.

    3. … just wait, next year it will be Ivanka and his sons… although I see him blaming his other daughter first… if he hasn’t already. What’s her name?….

    1. Trump will only get worse as his reelection becomes less and less likely. Most Americans prefer a president who doesn’t suffer from mental illness while being overtly racist.

  7. Just came back from Fry’s electronics. The shelves were EMPTY! I asked a manager why? He said it’s because of trump’s tariffs on China. Now China WON’T send merchandise. VOTE this orange POS OUT!!!

    1. Many stores are showing bare shelves, no merchandise. We don’t make to sustain anything since the big M&A Wall Street crowd started running all of the show. It became worse after China WTO agreement.
      Never forget Seattle’s protest against it.
      And some foodstuffs aren’t in grocery stores. Floods affected crops. I miss peas.

    1. This could be dangerous. I’m definitely not a Trump fan
      But some times the media has gone too far in criticizing Trump. He definitely does deserve criticism but the media does in my opinion go too far sometimes. Trump has a revenge seething inside him. If he does break and should be removed from office, he won’t go quietly, no telling what will happen.

    2. PURPLE QUEEN48 Can you imagine a thirteen year old is walking like a person with joint pains how will he walk at fifteen please tell me .

    1. Lots of Republicans only like to plan for war. Other than that, they are against planning of any kind, especially Planned Parenthood.

    2. He never sees anything coming because he’s a raging narcissist. He doesn’t think he ever does anything wrong and always blames other for his mistakes so he is completely incapable of learning from his mistakes.

    3. … …

      OR…. maybe he did! ;D
      it’s all in the plan… rich/corps been bankrupting for years to steal from others.

    1. Exactly… This is kidnapping. This is the definition of kidnapping. This behavior would get you or me imprisoned.
