So obviously there has to be another explanation, doesn't there Katy?

He is trying to sabotage the US.

Not picking, but I think it is an important distinction. It would not matter who is the next President. Trump intends to destroy whatever is left of American democracy.

He is using the Republican party and will destroy it if they let him. Trump is a predator. He will destroy anything for profit or laughs.

...tRump* and his cohort are smashing everything they can on the way out the door.

tRump* is a cruel, vindictive heap o' slag.

That's why he's sowing chaos and terrorism.
That's why he's undermining democracy.

They are using each other. Neither of them holds any feeling for another human being.

Nothing eithers word or behavior to date makes me think these men are capable of putting anything or anyone ahead their whim of the millisecond. I really believe they'd sell out mom for a dime.

like using euphemisms like 'misspoke' and misstated' instead of lie, for Trump's BS and not calling what he's doing now what it is: a petty childish temper tantrum cause he didn't get a cookie or even delusional levels of narcissism that's threating thousands of lives but L'il Donnie needs time to adjust.

Sabotage is on purpose; tantrums and narcissism are just part of Trump being unsuitable as a president.

If it was someone who has authority but is seen as 'neutral' (or a Republican), then it's worthwhile asking it in public.

Several years ago I read her book "Unbelievable" and she spent many many paragraphs writing about herself and her "problems" with dragging her suitcase all over, and how she never had time to do her hair and makeup. I'm not sure that I ever finished it.
