The worst Trump is yet to come.

THIS.

When he loses, he's going to take the entire system down with him. Or he will at least try really hard to.

Nah.

He'll take everything he can for himself. He's not a bomb thrower.

He'll pardon everyone, write exec orders that help him, make it very very hard for the next admin, and then for the rest of his life trump will try to undermine Biden.

Trump is the softest president in our countries history. If he can't bully himself to get his way, he runs...........and complains to his ignorant base.

Would any of his lapdogs like to defend him saying that "we are turning the corner" comment. Whether you think COVID is a serious issue or not. Can we all agree that it isn't going away?

BTW, anybody willing to throw their money at this election? Biden to win........$1000? Anybody.....?

go to predictit.

you can make 20% on this election. Although fees eat into that a lot.

bets like 'trump will win the popular vote' or 'trump will lose a state he won in 2016' or 'Repubs will control the house' can still make 15-20%.

magas are really bad at betting.

(unless they are correct and we're the idiots)

Not that these two opinions seem that far apart. His total and callous lack of concern for how he leaves this country is of major concern.

And you may be underestimating his level of vindictiveness and childlike emotionality.

If past behavior is an indication of future behavior, its not good.

Side note:

Catholics are Christians.

Mormons are Christians.

Eastern Orthodox are Christians.

It is bizarre that so many people who call themselves Christians are not aware of this.

meh

trump has been through decades of American life. One thing he knows to his bones is that he may need something in the future, so don't burn bridges. This sounds silly in terms of his hate-politics, but he's survived decades of NYC politics and changing banking rules etc.

He's a survivor. His interest is in building his brand so he can make more money and be loved by fans. Blowing everything up doesn't get him more money or fans. He needs people to have money...so he can con them out of it. Blowing everything up is the opposite of that because it would make people poorer.

I think he got too close to the sun this time

Is this the plan at polling places to intimidate voters who may want to choose Biden?

honestly, being in a tax proceeding vs. the state of NY will only help him gain fans. he can portray himself as a victim of overreaching vindictive government. Repubs really hate the tax man, and he's fighting the taxman. Boom. Winner for trump.

From another angle...Trump will do what he can to cut out a portion of the american population that has some money and that he can sell to. Mostly via his media network, but whatever else he dreams up. Maybe trumpers want all-mag@ time share developments. Or trumpist cruises.

He'll be edgy enough to split those people off...but he's not going to upset the apple cart too much, because that doesn't help him.

I think he's done too much to his reputation to be a viable commercial product once he leaves office. He'll have his 35% loyalists. But, they will be "and rightly so" branded in a VERY negative light moving forward. His "brand" will be trash across the world. But, hey, he can sell hats for $19.95 on the internet.

On Saturday, one of those jacked pickups tried to race me off the line at a stoplight. I had been behind him for awhile on a two lane road. Noticed he had a "Calvin pissing" sticker except that Calvin's head was replaced with Trump's head and he was pissing on the word "liberals". So when we finally got to a four lane road I pulled up beside him at that stoplight and he motioned that he wanted to race. He revved his engine and thick black smoke bellowed from his tailpipe.

I left him in the dust with my Chevy Bolt EV. It wasn't even close. Wish I could have seen his face when he saw my "Alternative Fuel Vehicle" license plate. But I was too far ahead.

Early voting finally started in my state today. (I already dropped my absentee ballot at a drop off box. I hate lines)

My local news feed showed pictures of long lines 15 minutes before the 7 am opening.

I am still concerned about election day which I assume will be the largest group of voters coming out with their usual polling places closed and few choices of where to vote.

Are hard core anti-maskers simply not going to vote? I can't imagine any polling places that will allow people to stand in line or go into a building without a face covering.

This will be a chaotic final week leading up to November 3rd.

Why is Trump still campaigning so aggressively in states like NC, AZ, and FL, which are "on lock"? Does he know they are "on lock"? Have you told him they are "on lock"?!?!

That explains the burnt face!

Having 35% of America to sell to is a marketer's dream. That's 100 million chumps, eager to buy stuff from you. That's Trump's dream, and he can have it. If he stays out of jail and doesn't blow up the nation. He can control the second.

You sort of allude to this - since dems are much, much more likely to vote early, if lines are absurd on election day, the people shut out are more likely to be Rs than Ds. Advantage Biden.

Although breaking this down state by state would be more helpful. Losing 100,000 R voters in a deep red state might not make much difference.
