(8,054 posts)Is Trump building an insanity defense?
Seems like it, he promised himself as the All Powerful Master of the Universe (as if!) that he would win a second term, to lay the groundwork for a third term, to be followed by infinite terms as destroyer of Democracy and creator of the Trump dynasty of hereditary monarchy, US style.
Trump's problem here is no one is buying into it. Except maybe the most diehard of the Demented Deplorables.
Trump's downfall is twofold, inability to accept reality, and needing to run the show. Whatever the show currently, he needs to be the smartest person in the room and be in charge.
Those have always been his problems, from an early age.
One bridge too far for most. Pity that didn't happen years ago.
History books will have the Trump presidency as a sealed section, with a 'do not open' warning.
EDIT: The impeachment hearing is about Trump inciting his followers to storm the Capitol Building in a coup to overthrow the government.
It has nothing to do with the proven validity on the election. Trump can bleat on about that all he likes, but it just isn't relevant. Or justification.
Got to wonder though. Trump promised to lead them on the march to the Capitol building. He didn't. And no one noticed?
