He had to get elected before he could install corrupt judges and SCOTUS justices, and demonstrate to even skeptical Republicans – remember Lindsey Graham's original assessment of Trump? – that he had dirt on all of them, so they'd damn well better toe the line, and when he said JUMP, ask now high on the way down.
I've been watching this psychopath's circus for more than 40 years, and the vile obscenities that we see on a daily basis are only the teensy-weensy tip of a monstrous iceberg of staggering depravity.
He IS an imbecile on myriad levels, but he also has an unerring ability to pinpoint the prejudices of the room-temperature IQs that think the Sun shines out of his fat, pimply ass. THEY are the source of his power, because they will gleefully commit any and every manner of unspeakable atrocities in order to entertain him, and thereby gain his momentary approval. Until he tires of them and flicks a finger to order their immediate demise.
Underestimating the magnitude of his capacity for jaw-dropping evil will be the death of us all; do not doubt it for a nanosecond.
