I could not count the number of times a poster here has said that "Trump is capable of anything"

and, while I totally agree, I think that needs some "fleshing out". What do you include in "anything"?

Here's what I include.

Trump is capable of ordering the murder of not just those who pose some sort of threat to him, but anyone who pisses him off. If he thought he could for sure get away with it---his arrogance already has him at "maybe"---I have no real doubt he is capable of ordering a hit on me and many other of us faceless Trump haters.

For the right price in cash and/or power, Trump would approve the sale of any quack "medicine" even if scientists predicted it would not just fail to cure anything, but it would kill half the people who used it.

Trump would sell Russia or any other nation the names of all our clandestine foreign agents, our codes or our defensive strategies.

He would not bat an eye at "returning" Alaska to Russia.

He would "suspend" the US Constitution and replace it with Steve Miller's wet dream.

That's just some of my "anything".

I'm sure he was envious as hell. And Jared as much as confessed they slowed down testing because COVID was hitting blue states. That's murder right there if you ask me.

There is NO limit to his "Anything".

And he has McConnell and Barr right along side him.

We'll have right-wing death squads gunning people down. The Rittenhouse kid is just a little ahead of the curve, that's all.

Those with grey hair might want to consider a different color.

He is not capable of anything that requires empathy, charity, or justice. He is incapable of what we would call "good"
