It's megalomania and hubris of the Left on display for all to see. Schiff, Pelosi, the MSM, all think they are light years smarter, better and more elite than Trump, or any Republican as far as that goes. They think Trump and his supporters are all retarded buffoons, and they say so openly and frequently. It drives them batty that they can't seem to hurt him and that more than half the country supports him.
They cannot explain this to themselves. It is making them literally insane. The Left thought Trump would be a pushover boob that they could control and kick around at will. Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, the MSM, and the Left in general all thought they were more powerful than the President. That is why we see statements like this coming from Schiff. Pelosi thought she could intimidate and control the Senate to do her will and Schiff believes he can frighten and intimidate Trump with veiled threats of another impeachment.
The Left/Democrats will never get it. They have to do their daily Stuart Smalley affirmations in the mirror. I AM SMARTER THAN TRUMP! I AM BETTER THAN THEM! I BETTER THAN THE DEPLORABLES! Just to maintain what is left of their sanity. And failure after failure does not dissuade them. Reality does not dissuade them. They have always had it in their minds that Trump and his supporters are stupid rubes, and no amount of facts to the contrary will ever get through to them.
People do not actually support Trump. If we could just get our 'enlightened message' out in a way that the flyover idiots can understand, they would drop Trump like a hot potato. Because we are the real legitimate rulers. We are the elite. Why can't they see that?!
