His entire term, (and even prior to it) is based on what he has made up. It's the foundation of his previous businesses, his candidacy and now, his bold attempt at a dictatorship.

To take responsibility and stop making things up would undermine his entire operation and that applies to the nepotism regarding his children and others. Bringing his family in should be an obvious dynastic sign, as well.

When trumpian make believe stops, his whole operation crumbles like a house of cards, and so, he will continue and, most likely, ramp it up to ridiculous proportions since it serves to confuse the population and prepare them for the full onset of his regime. The Trump Junta will either come to fruition prior to the election,(due to the opportunism of a crisis) or it will go into full, unmitigated swing if he were to be re-elected because that's a green light to finish it off.

Yours is the best description of the psychology and dynamic of the takeover plan. (Can't say "his" takeover plan, because I'm sure he's the front man -- who for, we're left to speculate.)

Thanks.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I became very curious about Trump in general when he started campaigning. Then I just payed more attention to his behaviors, manner of speech, etc., while reading up on his past and present. Though it is more frightening than it is enjoyable, I guess one could say that I have done a little research.

I think the game is afoot, that's rather obvious. I've posted about my theories as to why the GOP is so supportive of Trump, etc. Again, just my view, but it's like putting some puzzle pieces in the write place and voila, a picture appears.

You're welcome, BTW, and again, thanks for your comment.

and was called nuts for trying to see a method to his varied personas.

I've been trying to see beyond Putin to who else BD's a front for. I wonder if Biden and Obama know. I'm thinking it's got to be global banks. I'm thinking a currency war, which winds up as the petrodollar winds down. It's likely not a matter of if, but when. What that will look like for the rest of us, I've no idea yet.

Joe sounds totally prepared to take over the reins right now, not just regarding what to do and how to fix things, but how to restore the nation’s unity.

I’ve gone from “he’s too old” last year to “I’ll vote for him in the primary if he (or most anyone else) looks like he is getting the delegates,” to “I really kind of like him,” to “I think the people have actually made the best possible choice in this moment.”

emotional dimension missing in other candidates. Yes, we can use some pep talking, not just policy talk. We will need some mighty unity and optimism to get through this. Joe is the man for this moment we are in. Policies will pass if Americans come together. I always felt Joe is the one
who can help make this happen.
