Trump thinks he got 100% of stakes in the US corporation. Frustrated to find out it's only 25%.

The Executive? He got that.
The Judiciary? Well, there's still an independent judiciary and the Democrats will put up a fight over SCOTUS.
The Legislative? The GOP Reps and Senators have their own goals and there's still the filibuster.
The Media? Honeymoon's over.

25%
All this campaigning, all this fighting, and he got 25% of the stakes for it.
But wait! Didn't he win this election? That means gets 100%!!!!!!!!
Nope.
He gets the title and fame as if he had won 100%. But he actually gets only 25%.

Why won't the media simply report what he wants them to report?
Why are federal judges getting in his way?
Why are the Democrats prepping for a fight?
He has won!!!

Absolutely. And his terrific victory has earned him 25% of the domestic political power of the US.
Not 100%.
25%.

And he's realizing that.

And the frustration is driving him mad.

until his megalomania forces him to pack it in and pursue some other fantasy career like astronaut or submarine captain.
