(24,743 posts)The world is not as it was. There is no AXIS of evil.
There is a WORLD of evil, the only freedom fighter at this point is Zelenskyy.
The rest are complacent, as are American citizens (outside of DU)
Trump will drop the big one.
He is jealous of every Democratic president, INCLUDING Harry Truman.
That will change the world in a "flash"

In that, perhaps I gave Putin too much credit.
THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN SEX, BLACKMAIL and MONEY-LAUNDERING EMPIRE
is/was the biggest crime in recorded history.
Trump will try to take the entire planet down with him as the sordid facts come to light.
We the people have borne witness to his crimes. This perhaps never happened in Germany, or Hitler didn't have Trump's long track record a the time he took over.
I kind of expect a massive attack on the U.S. internet and other infrastructure and drone attacks on data centers.
Trump savaged the nation's cyber defenses (as noted at the link above) and defense, such as it is, is entirely involved in the roundup and detention of residents of the U.S. (Oh, shades of Franklin what's his name).
The ultimate projection, as with Hitler, is to turn to the use of international brute force when the internal situation (and history of abominable crimes) is out of control.
This is Trump's { Ethiopia, Stalingrad, Saigon, Normandy, Light Brigade, Armada, Waterloo, Gallipoli, KYIV, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Bay of Pigs, Midway, Little Big Horn, Fredricksburg, Agincourt, Gettysburg, Leyte Gulf, and so on.}
Ultimately, The Duchy of Grand Fenwick might take down Trump, by delivering the Q-Bomb to the wrong destination, mistaking Doral for Washington D.C.

And he plays with the football.
