21. When Trump "jumps the shark"

I too noticed his wrestling persona and he once played a role when he "fought" Vince McMahon on camera. So he's very aware of presenting the tough guy image. It's the same role he portrayed in The Apprentice, but modified with the Wall Street image of corporate hit-man armed with his catch-phrase, "You're Fired!" So many gullible viewers of such programming really believed in his supposed powers which had no reality to them. And many of them became his voters. But now, as Commander In Chief, he wields actual powers to kill people with impunity. So he presents the nation with dramatic images of "narco-terrorists" being bombed to flex his muscle and demonstrate his willingness to spill blood. And lately he has increased his rhetoric against the "radical left" as sponsors of political violence and vows to attack them as terrorist organizations. So he is paving the way to justify the use of lethal military force against them. He has also hinted at using nuclear weapons to target foreign adversaries. But what low point will it take for Trump to have "jumped the shark" to finally have his show canceled?
