When Donald Trump stepped to the dais at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, he had a speech full of sharp lines: swipes at socialism, assertions of nationalism versus globalism, harsh words for Iran. Though Trump doesn’t enjoy delivering scripted remarks, he sounded listless, tired, and bored even by his own standards, struggling through the speech.
The president had a good reason to be distracted. The same morning, he had spoken on the phone with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, trying to stem a growing tide of Democratic demands for his impeachment. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, Trump asked Pelosi whether there was some way they could make a deal. Pelosi said the White House had to release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress, as required by statute. “Tell your people to obey the law,” she said.
After weeks of defiance, Trump seemed to change course. Yesterday afternoon, he announced that the White House would release a transcript of his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Later in the day, Politico’s Nancy Cook reported that the White House would release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress.
It was not enough to satisfy Pelosi. At 5 p.m. yesterday, she stepped before microphones in Washington and announced an “official impeachment inquiry,” with her support, into the president. It’s still unclear what this means materially, but it rattled Trump. At home in Trump Tower, he was stunned, believing that he’d managed to put Pelosi off in their morning conversation, according to CNN.
Chaos is a constant in the Trump administration, but this week there are signs of a far rarer impulse: panic. The indications come in Trump’s demeanor, including the listless speech; a combative, brief press availability with Zelensky at the UN this morning; and a rambling, stream-of-semi-consciousness press availability this afternoon.

Another one of the left’s wishful “the wall are closing in” stories because they hate Trump. He is driving them crazy.
Fake News from a DOA media outlet.
POTUS doesn’t do that!
He FIGHTS BACK!
I have a middle finger for you Mr. Graham, Trump panicking? from one deplorable to a despicable FU
Just recently bought by Steve Job’s widow.
I second that comment - they are all going nuts and thrashing because they know they don’t have the upper hand they had hoped for and feel the need to get their BS out there because when it comes to retaining what one hears, “primacy” is one of the factors - what the sheeple hear first on a topic tends to stick more than other stuff - and then at the end, when it has all been debunked, they retell the original lies because “recency” is another factor.
Lie up front and at the end and many ignore what happened in between.
“Trump Is Panicking” written by “The Atlantic”.
That’s ALL you need to know. (Fake news.)
How about Trump is tired from all the traveling he’s been doing.
Looks like a fag, writes like a fag, must be a fag.
