Do you think tRump may attempt to destroy the US when

he personally realizes his own health is so horrible that he can no longer hide it and deny it AND his poll numbers stay extremely bad and are going from bad to worse, even with former MAGA voters?

I heard James Carville discuss this a few weeks ago and it didn't sound crazy, it sounded like a real possibility. His point was the enormous vengeance tRump has for anyone and everyone. Since tRump doesn't give a shit about the US as a country he will attempt to destroy the USA as he views his own demise, which he blames on the Dems, or anyone who disagrees with him.

I think Carville makes a good point. Do NOT underestimate tRump's need for revenge against his perceived enemies (that means the US as a whole).

I was thinking of creating a DU poll but I don't know how to phrase it.

He is threatening to invoke it if judges don't let him place the National Guard in cities.

Trump destroying the US is more than just a remote possibility.

I think that with his ego, deep in that empty space between his lungs*, he thinks he’s going to live for ever. By the time he gets so decrepit that he can’t lie to himself anymore, he’ll be weak, powerless, and ignored, even if he’s still the President in name.

“launch… the… … … nuuuuuuukes”
Guard #1, “You hear something?”
Guard #2, “Nah… just Cankles on his respirator.”

*or between his ears…

It's like a narcissistic spouse, sensing the end of his/her life, makes plans to murder his/her spouse b/c s/he can't stand the concept that the surviving spouse will enjoy life upon his/her demise.

The only person who matters to that monster is that monster. Now tgat his body no longer works and the madness is overtaken by dementia all bets are off.
I have long thought that he continues to seek his dead KKK daddy’s approval so fomenting a race warfare cannot be ruled out.Tge good news is he knows nothing about anything and will fail.

Hasn't he been destroying the U.S. every single day he has been in office?

I'm not being hyperbolic, either. It has been wholesale destruction of the United States of America every single day as, somehow, this shitty orange blob remakes the nation as the Fascist State of Trump and Trump Only.
