Seems to Me That Trump Has His Plan Almost Finalized

I think he understands that he's out at the end of 2028. He can't continue as President. It ain' happening.

So, he's ramping up and fine tuning his grift, to maximize the amount of the US Treasury he can abscond with on the way out. Meanwhile, he'll get his name on as many Federal buildings as he can - just for the grins of doing that.

He'll also line the pockets of his kinfolk, as far as is possible. He'll also manipulate the stock market, as he has proven able to do, on an increasingly frequent basis. maxing out his take from every possible rumor or fake deal.

The bad news for him is that he will die soon. All of that grift will be fought over and diverted by all of those he has parented, to whatever degree he hss parented anyone.

I suspect he knows he's not going to be the eventual beneficiary, but will sure own the liberals and punish all fo the DEA folks he can think of to punish. Sour results for a sour man. May he suffer dearly for each time he steals from this nation. May he never get away scot free.

Vengence is his thing,

You cant beat or cheat death . Better hope it's death after 2028, or a sudden unexpected one before

He will punch back from his death and/or dying bed 10 times of revenge deaths. He will want alot of people to suffer

with all the stuff he's done right in our face, how many hidden evils has he accomplished or laid as traps for the future? Somehow, we're not only going to have to clean out the entire government of trumpers, but also pass a bill which somehow nullifies everything he's try to set in motion in the background. It's worrisome to me, because I don't think there's anyone other than someone as bad as he is that can imagine what he's done. How do you protect yourself in the future from some plan laid out in secret as he lays dying? Oh, but please, let his dying be public...

he surrenders to terrorists, releases thousands of their soldiers, and blames biden for the chaos. i suspect that had he won in 2020 the withdrawal would not have happened.

At some point, the loyalists need to abandon ship. How he lasted this long is mind-blowing, even with our completely corrupt media...

He may have a bailing point in mind. I'd bet so, but have no idea when.If there's a blue tsunami. I think he'll bail before the next session starts. I think so. One sentence will do it.

his slush fund is not just for "victims" in the past but for any who take it upon themselves to "heroically" disrupt and invalidate the coming midterms that threaten his power. The message has been delivered.
