Trump Is Going Down And He Wants To Take Us With Him - The Only Answer That Makes Sense

[DanieRains]

When you think about it, there could be no other reason than this for his non-action on EVERYTHING.

It's not like we won't find out he did NOTHING to protect us from day one.

Even Trump isn't that stupid.

He really doesn't care.

Period.

He wants us all dead.

Please rec.

1. This was it.

From the beginning.

Why I raged and howled like an injured animal on 2016 election night.

2. Just like Adolph

First thing I thought when I read the OP title.

3. After 3 years still saying he "inherited" a mess. When exactly is America supposed to be great again

[magicarpet]

7. A mess from Obama, check this out,... trDump is such a fucking fraud.

trDump made this mess and caused this pandemic to become a ragging fire.

20. Excellent article, thank you.

4. If everybody is dead, who will vote for him? Who will give him the adoration he craves?

I don't think that's what he wants. I really think he's so delusional that he doesn't accept the gravity of the situation or the fact that he can't fix it. So he blathers about miracle drugs and lots of masks and ventilators because he doesn't want to believe how bad it is - he doesn't want the public to question his ability to make the pandemic go away. That's why he blew it off until he couldn't anymore. He really is that stupid and that narcissistic.

5. No,

He is not "going down" in this, to me.

He is going to the next phase, that's all. This is the opportunity he has been waiting for. I can't think of a tyrannical dictator as going down if he gets what he always wanted. A monarch rules. He gets the spoils. What more could he ask for?

If we were all dead, where would the fun be in total control? His coming, probably vast, usurping of powers will also protect, enrich and sustain him, so he is going up as we go down. It's tactical and to be expected after three years.

Keep an eye on that. Watch the DOJ's actions now and don't let the pandemic eclipse the potential grab. I am concerned about the near future the most, not the coming elections. Oh, and remember how The Patriot Act was just railroaded by many who didn't even read the voluminous document. Trump is a fan of Mien Kampf, (which seems to be a book he actually read, so he said) and he does know an opportunity to lunge when it presents itself. Barr will come in very handy for this.

13. THIS

his demise is much overstated at DU. apparently, we're incapable of understanding how his corona virus response has helped him solidify his hold on power. all the threads of disbelief at his positive approval rating for crisis handling in the face of his obvious failure to protect us from the current disaster in any way stand as evidence enough.

late-stage capitalism has been exposed as an unsuitable method of social organization. when societies turn away from it, they could turn to capitalism's long-standing natural critique (aka "socialism" ) or they can regress, to the social organization capitalism replaced ("monarchy" ). Trump and friends are aiming for and, imho, likely to achieve the latter as a result of this crisis. Trump will likely emerge from this as a de-facto king, with his chief sycophants essentially forming the nobility class of some new feudal society.

17. Thank you!

I appreciate your input there and hoping others will consider this.

24. Ahem!

Gee. I wonder why?

Thanks.

8. Sure there is another reason - he's just not very competent.

His fame and career is about perception and "smoke and mirrors" much more than ability.

The idea that he's intentionally trying to destroy everything is stupid and ignores his history (and many failures).

[rampartc]

9. trump, and his party, are philosophically committed

to the idea that government is incompetent, corrupt, and incapable of doing anything properly.

he will not do anything if it is not in his personal interest to do so.

his party elected him to "burn down the system." as far as they are concerned he is doing a great job.

[vlyons]

10. No, he is afraid to take action

because he fears the consequences of his decisions may not turn out so great. So confusion and indecision allow him to blame others for the fine mess we are in. I don't think that he wants to take us down, because it would burst his self-image of being a great leader. From the very beginning of his admin, it has been characterized as chaotic, his flip-flops confusing. There is no master plan. Just day-to-day put on a show that makes him look good. Trump is all about appearances with no inner substance. Alas he is completely unaware how others see him.

[rockfordfile]

15. No he's just a un-American corrupt gop. Trump is up to his neck in guilt

[uppityperson]

11. I don't think he even thinks of anyone else except for how they do or don't praise him

He has no empathy, is unable to care who he takes down or kills. Don the Con's universe is himself.

12. K&R, to this day we still don't have unrestricted testing. We don't have "millions" of test that

... have gone out like we were promised 3 weeks ago.

This is on purpose

[Brainfodder]

16. Worse?: Doing it to make $?

Tries for bucks at every angle?

[HotTeaBag]

18. No, he doesn't want us all dead.

But you're right, he doesn't really care about what's happening.

[Initech]

19. He's got the virus. There's absolutely no question about it.

He's been with other people who have it. There's something that he's not telling us.

[Alacritous Crier]

21. I still think...

he's Greg Stillson. He wants us in a war so he can use those nukes.
