Anyone agree with personal assessment of Trump? [View all]

I honestly believe he's in panic mode, shaking in his elevator footwear...

He thought he was going to lose the election and had a big plan to contest the results and maybe stall the trial dates some longer, maybe even get his lawyers to pull some kind of rabbit out of the hat.

He lucked out in the first term; made it through 3 years of fantastical propaganda and sh!t show big talk with no results. No serious issues to deal with. The fourth year and Covid, revealed his incompetence and indifference to the public and the world...

Now, he's inheriting some serious situations, requiring strong leadership skills and worldly intellect, neither of which he possesses. His historical behavior has always reflected his sense of being...the more insecure he is, the more distraction and chaos he propagates. And he's been propagating in high gear for several weeks.

He knows Biden did a good job and that Harris would have done likewise. He knows he's didn't pick up a substantial number of voters and is stuck with pleasing the same group of hard-to-please supporters. He was elected to lower the cost of groceries and deport a bunch of immigrants, and has already walked back on those promises.

The only thing he might have going for him is the idea of succeeding with the oligarchy or just get Hegseth to implement a martial law declaration.
