Koo Koo Coup 2: Trump clearly didn't turn out to be the "Eggman," but expect "Be There, Be Wild II" after the Midterms
There are so many ways Trump's pathology could play out.
Sure...a year from now, we could be in a war...maybe even a world war...Trump could declare Martial Law, cancel the midterms, every conspiracy theory you've heard for the last 11 months.
But remember, he's been planting "loyalists" across the government like an untreated outbreak of the crabs after a questionable sexual encounter.
He had a few agenda items:
1). He had to get a second term, because in his mind, he should have been rewarded with that out of respect and devotion after the bang-up job he did with only 400,000 Americans dying of COVID on his watch
2). When he didn't get the second term, he had to punish America as a whole for electing Biden in 2020 (I'll take "What are Trump tariffs" for $500, Alex).
3). He sat back and allowed his goons to call for a Mike Pence hanging for not halting certification of Biden's votes. You heard his take on Kashoggi..."people didn't like him, things happened." He would have had the same response if Pence's fate took a turn for the worse. And let's be realistic...Mike Johnson held up ONE ELECTED DEMOCRAT'S seating. Think he won't do the same with MULTIPLE Dems after the Midterms? Think Vance WOULD NOT DO what Pence refused to do? IT WAS PROBABLY A CONDITION of his GETTING the gig. Thiel probably gave Trump a thumbs-up.
4). The COUP failed, as his bid for re-election failed. Anyone convinced he won't go for a coup do-over?
The guardrails are all down this time, Roberts gave him "total immunity," we're about 11 months away from more "Be there, be wild" tweets. All of the pardoned MAGAts who were part of the insurrection the last time will be there, because they know Trump will just pre-emptively pardon them. Except Ashli Babbitt, of course. She won't be there.
