In reply to the discussion: WTF is trump playing now? [View all]ananda
(34,243 posts)38. He's always been a petty, vindictive asshole...
who thinks the bully, mob-boss posture makes
him worthy of being the king of the world.
He IS a Hitler wannabe, but he and his minions
are utterly incompetent and stupid.
They can and will do a lot of harm, but if our nation
rises up against them en masse, I don't think they
would stay in power for long.
I'm surprised they've lasted this long. I would think
that even the rich and powerful who have propped
him up in their own self-interests now realize that
nobody's interests are served now.
This level and kind of destruction is harmful to
everyone, nobody excluded.
