We've been saying for a few years now that Trump ran for a second term for three reasons: 1) Keep his fat ass out of a federal joint. 2) Use the power of the state to terrorize, inconvenience, harass, and prosecute perceived enemies. Hell, he'd have them executed if a compliant DOJ staffed by loyalists could pull it off. 3) And of course, the grift, Qatari Jets, Bitcoin, Ballrooms, government no-bid contracts, Pay-to-Play, Pardons, strategically timed stock trades, the list is endless. A US president, 21 months into his term, is about $ 4.1 Billion wealthier than he was on the day of his inauguration. Not many people are thinking about it, but they need to be. That's unprecedented corruption. It's out in the open. Pretty damn obvious. 4) And now the fourth reason, the one that we often didn't think to place in the original set. I really do believe that he wanted to get back into the White House to help his "friend," Vladimir Putin (thinks Trump is a dope and he's right), to realize his dreams of conquering Ukraine and erasing the conquered nation from history as though they never existed. Trump always dreamed of a Trump Moscow hotel and doing other business with bad boy Vlad. Together, along with some very well-known oligarchs, they will loot and pillage Ukraine, counting their money on the graves of murdered Ukrainian civilians. "To the victors go the spoils." Are we even still the United States of America anymore? It just doesn't feel and seem like the country I grew up in. I loved that country and I was proud of it and all that it stood for. The thing about this that is more nuts than anything is that a significant portion of the American population appears to be cool with all of this chaos, betrayal and corruption.
