Trump before election and after

[violetpastille]

9. Yes.

I think the plan was to run a hateful campaign, lose and be the star of his own hate network, "Trump TV" a huge success fueled by Hillary hatred and displaced white male angst.

It would have been a more successful long con. He could have gone on with that forever.

As it is, I think even Putin had no idea how vulnerable the US was to the Russian secret sauce of authoritarianism + reality tv + psy ops.

I watched a doc two years ago, in which someone who knew Trump well said, "He will either become President, or die alone, pissing in a jar in an empty room somewhere."
