The steroids have intensified Trump's personality

including his psychological pathologies. It is obvious in his all caps tweets from the last days and especially in his new pledge to hold the stimulus hostage to his re-election efforts.

His statement that he wants McConnell to double down on efforts to steamroll Amy Covid Barrett onto the SCOTUS. He knows she is key to getting his way in whatever Machiavellian scheme they are are utilizing.

but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story." ....(more)
