    This fucking clown thinks people are gonna lay down for him, lol. The reality is that he’s setting into motion a confluence of events that will leave a critical mass of people with nothing left to lose and no alternative but to overthrow him.

      The reality is he’s setting the stage to enact martial law and end democracy in the United States. He’s hoping for it. Escalate conflict with the public and as soon as they get violent it’s the perfect rationalization for deploying federal forces en masse.

        It’s mostly posturing. The last thing he wants is a Kent State situation to collapse his already waning domestic support, particularly while rattling the saber at multiple other countries and waging a tariff war.

          I don’t honestly think he’s thinking that far ahead. I don’t even know if he can. You forget, Trump truly believes his own shit. Every word that comes out of him, he believes it. When he goes around and says he’s the most popular president in the history of ever, he believes that.

          We have a malignant narcissist running the country, not a rational actor in any form.
