Yep. It’s a typical (but highly advanced) Cluster B personality disorder. They get worse over time, as Trump unwittingly demonstrates.

Might have something to do with Q-Anon. 45's most fervent and ardent supporters have bought the Q- Anon bs hook, line, and sinker. My cousin, a doomsday prepper has been waiting for Q since 1988. He thinks 45 is Q. The Lone Warrior. Sent by God. Or is God. To save the world from the leftist libs. He is a white supremacist just like 45, raised in NY, but lives down south. My cousin is giddy these days that Obama and Hillary will be hung for treason, that he will be raptured soon (before the tribulations begin) and 45 is the heavenly sent messenger. PINO knows that Q-Anon people would NEVER turn on him. They are his hardcore base.

Tue Jun 30, 2020, 11:56 AM

Lone Warrior fighting and killing American troops in Afghanistan and Americans at home.

There is no kind of revisionist history that will see this vile monster as anything other than. . . well. . . a vile, evil monster. There will be no statues. There will be no monuments. There will be no library. There will be book after book after book detailing his corruption, his treason.

Obviously, my hope is that there are crimes that are prosecutable - and actions not simply written off as bad policy - and I hope that process begins on Biden's inauguration day. At the very least, he and his family must be shunned, banned from what used to be called polite society. Their only "safe space" will be RW media. Apart from prison, there is also the fantasy that they - the entire family - will seek asylum/refuge in countries without extradition treaties with the US.

There's no telling how the minions will fare. Steve Bannon is still floating about, for example, but the rest? Again, only in their safe spaces and their sinecures in the RW universe. If the media that occupies the reality-based universe is sensible, they will not give him a platform of any sort. And, again in my fantasy world, Twitter and Facebook ban all of them.

Resumes of thousands of ex-appointees will have blank spots on their resumes, or maybe asterisks.

The way a lawyer tries to make a person look really bad by bringing up something from their personal life. The way a parent rallies some of their children together when another of their children confronts them about something. Rally your allies. Make people look bad. Rinse, repeat. Play victim, rally your allies. Rinse, repeat.
