49. No, he's not, and I really wish this idea would stop coming up.

He's not trying to lose. He's terrified of jail, and he'd rather see the country burn to the ground than risk going.

He's saying and doing all this stupid shit because he thinks he's the funniest, smartest, cleverest person in the world and thinks whatever he says or does is the perfect thing to say or do for that moment in time. He talks in those terms! A perfect phone call. A perfect speech. And so forth. He thinks he's unbeatable. He thinks he's invincible. So he says whatever he's thinking, and doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks about what he says. And the thing is, when it comes to his cultists, he's absolutely right. He could have the original copy of the Constitution taken out of the national archives, take a shit on it, wipe his ass with a Gutenburg bible, rape a preteen in the Oval Office, and release the video on his platform and X, and Fox News would praise his leadership and MAGAts would still enthusiastically vote for him. So he thinks whatever he says and does is golden, and just does what he wants.
