Trump always had this knack of revealing his intentions when he thought he could just hit back at people.

That's nothing new.

But what he reveals is indeed getting worse every day, or at least: every day of 2025 it is much worse than before that.

This, ladies and germs, is narcissistic dictatorial megalomania. Let's hope ~~it~~ he won't last long.

Just hoping he goes away doesn't strike me as a good strategy. So probably that's what the Democrats will go with.

It happens. You’re still breathing. That’s what counts.
