    I feel that all the things that make Trump are already in cahoots to make him an insane pudding-brained asshole. Make him rich on top of that, and later make him the president, and you’ve just poured 2 extremely volatile accelerants on a raging inferno of unearned confidence and strident stupidity.

    The man is the most indulged asshole we could possibly create.

      That pretty well sums it up.

      I think the combination of losing the 2020 election, being hit with a slew of unflattering analyses and criminal convictions, then winning the 2024 election finally completely broke his brain, but it’s a path he started down probably from pretty much his first day of conscious life.
