How's that for an assessment of an ex- president?

Gag orders seem very doable, and I'm wondering what advantage there could be for HIM in that. His attempts to incite violence are reportedly getting increasingly concerning response on line.

Agree with the rest, though never sure how deluded he is, or how frequently rages take him over. He's shown a great deal of competence at nation-burning demagoguery, thank goodness erratic.
