    How many times has he “completely lost it” recently? He’s always been insane. Insanely stupid in fact. Nothing new here.

    Yet, when we read the headlines, every few days or weeks, he “completely loses it”.

    If he were throwing grass in the air, eat dirt, or speak in tongues, maybe it would be worth the completely lost it title. Otherwise, it gets old after a few times.

      That really irks me is we basically have two styles of headlines right now.

      The newer sites like Rawstory, Mediaite, New Republic, Daily Beast, and Meidas Touch all use this bullshit style of headline writing.

      Meanwhile the traditional media sane washes the man and is equally disconnected from reality, but in the other direction.

      I’m also very sick of the clickbait titles. But in the case, he did actually lose it… I was doubled over laughing, the whole sequence is amazing

      It’s hyperbolic, as headlines always are.

      Trump “completely loses it” all the time because he seems to have complete undying loyalty from everyone around him. There are no negative consequences for these outbursts.
