Donald Trump isn’t getting out of this. He’s backed into a no-win corner where his only hope of avoiding the worst of federal charges is to offer to resign, and that would merely open him up to be immediately charged and arrested for state level crimes. Once he’s no longer able to hang onto the White House, he’s going to prison, and he’ll die there. On his more lucid days, he knows it – because he keeps trolling us about it.

Here’s what Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday: “Trump’s Triumphs are driving his critics Crazy!” To be clear, he’s had no triumphs. By any objective measure, this is by far the least productive presidency of the modern era. But even if Trump did believe he was achieving anything, he wouldn’t be focused on taunting his critics about it. He’s posting this crap because the only play he has left is to troll us on his way down. Want more evidence?

Trump also tweeted this on Sunday: “Just got recent Poll – much higher than President O at same time….Well, much more has been accomplished!” He’s just making this up. But he now posts something every few days about how he’s supposedly ahead of Obama in the polls. He’s not even claiming his poll numbers are good, which they aren’t. He’s merely bragging that he’s doing better than the other side’s hero, even though that’s not true either. Trump isn’t the only member of his family who’s been reduced to mere trolling.

Here’s what Donald Trump Jr tweeted on Sunday: “Hearing all the “jokes” about Donald Trump as a business man from last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Only problem is they forgot about his best deal ever… Living rent free for 2 years in the media’s heads.” That’s right, he’s also past the point of caring about anything other than trolling the other side. Why? Because Donald Trump Sr and Donald Trump Jr both know they’ve lost, and they’re going to prison. Like cartoon movie villains, all they care about now is trolling those who are about to take them down – because it’s all that’s left.
