Agreed! But that's also what's so frightening about the prospect of him leading the country! Yikes!

Force Trump to waste money on ego ads to make himself feel better but does nothing to get votes.
Do this by humiliating Trump.
Trump is so easy to manipulate.

Flattery and money will get you what you want from Trump.
Or humiliating him, which we think Putin did on more than one occasion.

While our traditional allies avoided him, recognizing him as the danger that he was/is.
