"Heres What I Think Donald Trumps Ultimate Plan is Right Now"

I happen to agree that this is probably the way Trump will leave office.

Here’s What I Think Donald Trump’s Ultimate Plan is Right Now

As much as I detest Donald Trump, he’s a fantastic con man. He’s a master at identifying the types of people who are gullible enough to believe him, figuring out what they want to hear, and selling them on his endless stream of b.s. and lies.



As Trump’s quoted as saying in his book, The Art of the Deal:
The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves. but they can get very excited by those who do. That is why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest, the greatest and the most spectacular.
That quote is essentially the foundation for Trump’s entire business and political career. It doesn’t matter what’s true, factual, or real — just play on people’s emotions, no matter how dishonest you have to be while doing so, and hope that they’re naive enough to believe you.
While Trump’s a skilled conman, his narcissism also drives him to portray himself as the perpetual victim. Nothing is ever his fault. If he fails, or something doesn’t go his way, it’s because some nefarious force was “out to get him.” From the Emmys, to the GOP primary, the moment Trump starts to feel something’s not going his way, almost immediately, he starts to whine about things being “rigged,” “unfair,” “fixed,” or “fake.”
Every. Single. Time.

Hopefully the list of his 'high crimes and misdemeanors' will reveal exactly why he is being 'picked on,' and take some of the bluster out of his spiel.
