    Well, see, that’s the thing, he barely knows. Trump is a child who wants all of the cookies. He also wants everyone else to know that he has all the cookies. And even more he wants to be remembered forever as the guy that got all the cookies.

    All his life the guy failed straight into success. It’s all seemed easy to him, too, because never once has he faced a consequence.

    If he’s not stopped, he’s going to drop The Bomb on somewhere. I don’t even expect the target to make sense, but it will be erased from the map as solidly as Trump’s infamy is sealed in the collective memory.

      Nice! I’d add that this isn’t down to Trump. His handlers are whispering in his ear. I was amazed they didn’t have a better hold of him first time, they finally learned how to control the toddler.

      In other words, this would never have occurred to him. He’s be getting fatter, golfing and grifting if an organized (somewhat) platoon of Wormtongues weren’t hinting at what he should do.

        Yeah, more and more everyday. I’m getting the feeling that Trump is not necessarily the problem, Trump is just the useful idiot that they are able to easily manipulate. That’s why Mamdani was able to so easily sway him, because the man is an idiot and as long as you talk to him the right way you can get him to agree and do whatever you want.
