      He’s a narcissist and he absolutely does get triggered by the idea that people don’t respect him. You can easily tell by how vengeful he is about the most minuscule shit.

        That gets put out there a lot. And while I generally agree, I just really think he’s got what he wants and he could give a fuck at this point.

          I still think he cares, in fact, I think he cares about this a lot.

          Trump in his second term is a puppet for his administration, he’s there to attract spotlights with his seething unhinged rants on hicktown social, his natural stupidity, his weird orange make up, etc. In general, the chaos this clown provides is perfect for masking what his administration is steering the US to.

          I do think that ultimately his fragile narcissist ego can be a weakness since I can’t see him going along with this for too long.

      He probably doesn’t care anymore because he’s just trying to figure out the next grift of saying in office until he dies. His Republican colleagues however are surely starting to panic. If he crashes hard enough, fast enough, we might just see enough spine to still get a free election in 2026.
