Revised version:

Above (click to enlarge): With my disinfectant products specially made for protection against contamination by Trump by Proctor and Gamble and The Clorox Company at the ready I am going to once again dip my analytic toe into the dangerous toxic mind of Donald Trump.

Watch the Morning Joe segment here.

Al Sharpton, on Morning Joe, said Trump’s Christmas messges showed that Trump is really more concerned than he wants to appear. I agree.

Morning Joe highlighted the following in one Trump post (clicking below will enlarge images):

Above is the portion I would highlight. What this suggests to me is how closely Trump is following the cases against him, in this instance the one case he’d be able to make go away if he’s president again. His reference to Jack Smith being Biden’s “only hope” and his acknowledgment that he is aware of Smith’s hiring outside attorney’s demonstrates how aware he is of his legal predicament.

Trump is known to watch a lot of morning TV. He might have seen Karl Rove on Fox News, or the discussion about what Rove said on Morning Joe about the new tape. See “Trump recorded pressuring Michigan canvassers not to certify 2020 vote” (CNN).

Here’s the Fox News article about this.

Excerpt:

A Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “All of President Trump’s actions were taken in furtherance of his duty as President of the United States to faithfully take care of the laws and ensure election integrity,” repeating the former president’s false claims that the election was “stolen.”

“President Trump and the American people have the Constitutional right to free and fair elections,”  Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats are spinning their wheels in the face of devastating polling numbers and desperately leaking misleading information to interfere in the election.”

You can judge for yourself whether the above explanation represents an argument that will stand up in court.

Trump keeps coming back to replay his old hits. He is driven to try to destroy his enemies with insults. Even on Christmas he couldn’t bring himself to wish the entire country, his friends and foes, a Merry Christmas.

As a clincian who has spent an unfortunately large amount of my time trying to analyze Trump I’d add to the above that the Trump Christmas messages represent a lack of impulse control and narsiccistic rage. They show (once again) how dangerous he’ll be if he becomes president again.

Addendum:

This is how Trump’s Christmas post was discussed on Morning Joe today:

‘Even for him, a new low’: Morning Joe panel rips apart Trump’s Christmas freakout

Excerpt:

“It’s two things,” Sharpton began. “I think it shows that these indictments and the civil case, despite his pretense otherwise, has gotten to him, because he’s reacting and responding in a way of no one projecting self-confidence or like this is nothing.”

“I also think it shows an inner kind of anger and displacement that he has, because who spends the holiday with this kind of venom, particularly when he is a guy that claims to be this self-confident, self-made guy with this kind of darkness, unless you are just that kind of dark person,” he added.

“We’ve certainly gotten used to Trump’s unorthodox holiday messages, ‘the haters,’ but this one hit a new low, even for him,”. : Lemire chipped in.
