Pierce: Who the Hell Wants Another Four Years of This?

3. Exactly!

We don't want any of that.

The SPECIAL POWERS is what Trump is after and that should be very clear and obvious to anyone who has been watching him carefully. A national emergency would provide him with another tool to smash and grab anything he possibly can that might be currently limited by the Constitution.

All the invectives being slung at Trump tend to serve to belie his capacity to play us, the country, his followers, etc. like any good confidence man would and confidence men work on that assumption: If you don't know he's a confidence man, you are the mark. It is better for him to think of him as incompetent, a fool, merely self-absorbed, demented, narcissistic, belligerent, etc. While he may be all of those and more and deserves criticism, they could just as well work as a confidence tool, (well, he is too stupid to do x) which is very common for those types of confidence players. You have to think they are something they are not and acting is very important. When you have the method acting down, it comes naturally and you are as concerned with your public image as people might think. You simply continue to test market your strategies, see how they fly, and adjust as needed. That's the art of the steal.

Meanwhile, he has his sights set on transforming the office he is in into a vehicle for an endless dictatorship, (they usually pass it on to their spawn) and I think there may be enough evidence to support that. Look how far he has come? A complete idiot can't do that that well and you wouldn't expect one to pull off a slow-motion coup, either. Do not underestimate this tyrant.
