QUESTION: Does Trump Want to Burn It Down before he leaves?

QUESTION: Does Trump and the Kremlin KKKlan Want to Burn It Down before he leaves?

Red Don's election numbers against Biden didn't look good ***IN THE SWING STATES*** last year before impeachment and CV19 numbers are going to look worse when the cases start ticking in the millions and people are still in their houses months from now.

Trump isn't going to call for nationwide unrestricted testing and that's going to make things worse

Hitlers "Nero Decree" was for the Germans that are left to burn everything down and I"m thinking that's what Trump is doing; burning everything down before he leaves.

Could Trump be doing the same?

Your take?

thx in advance

He wants to steal billions while we are not looking.

He has millions who say yes they want him to do that.

Yes it's unconstitutional, illegal, unethical, ungodly, etc. - but since when has that ever mattered to Orange Amin.

They will do as they are instructed.

The question is, what are WE going to do if they try...

And I am at a loss for suggestions. A national strike, as if Americans would ever sacrifice enough to actually DO that, may be a little difficult if we are all still "sheltering in place"...

He didn’t get upset at all that provisions for his business getting aid were removed from the bill, to me that is indicative of another tunnel to get him cash that will legitimately make him a billionaire.

Not so eager to “reopen America” by Easter, today. He seemed More concerned on getting Boeing taken care of because they make such great defective planes and now plastic face shields that I haven’t heard any healthcare professional ask for. I mean, plastic face shields?
I think Boeing promised him a new private plane when he leaves office....
Not upset at all with a 920 point drop in the DOW?
Something made him ignore the bad stuff... had to be that he just made a chunk of change.

bow to the rule of Republicans or else? We are all going down the drain if we allow the madness to continue. The fools want to blame Democrats. How does a rational human proceed in the madness?

He thinks if he pretends that the virus is not a big deal he can get WS back to make him look good. He is stupid that way, he should be doing everything he can to help Americans. Whatever he burns along the way will be unintentional, the main objective is mainly money and feeding his ego.

His sycophants told him they were going to bury Sanders with devastating adds before the convention and cruise to reelection. That became the reality he was living. And since he has no ability to be mentally flexible he can’t process anything else. He is trying to pretend this is either not that bad or about to go away. And is floundering. Going from denying it to going all in listening to his experts. Now trying to wrap it all up by Easter.

As he sees that he can’t change the narrative and his re-election chances slipping away he will become more erratic. Once Covid-45 passes the death toll for the swine flu when Obama was President he is going to explode. He won’t give a shit about the 12 thousand Americans that die or the next 50 thousand. But the fact he performed worse than Obama will be unbearable.

We need to GOtV, Get both houses in DEm hand, then start cleaning house and rebuilding our national security, our defenses and our government.

Looks like some people got their wish to burn it all down. They get to sit in their pretty homes while Puerto Rico dies, the Kurds, Covid19 mass murder, mass floods.

But hey, his staff will make millions on tell all books when he is gone.
