Waking, terrifying thought last night: What if Trump's approval bottoms out and he just decides to destroy the country out of spite?
Comforting-but-not-really realization: I'm not sure how that would look any different than what he's doing now.

Here's the real worry. His attempt at economic coercion fails and in order to sooth his ego he turns to military threats. So, Denmark and the EU as a whole respond effectively to his tariffs and he goes after Greenland for real.
But I’m not super confident.
This is where we are. The newspapers of record the handmaidens
He would do it without hesitation simply for spite.
But freaks like Curtis Yarvin are their advisors now and they make no pretense of their seething hatred for Americans and the idea of killing excites them.
The only limiting factor now is how far down the chain of command the madness extends.
These people revel in the suffering of their hated outgroups and there's no reason to think it stops with incarceration.
They are wrecking it out for parts.
Now it is a very real possibility.
He is irredeemable damaged and bolstered in his scheme by other narcissists w their own wounds & agendas for revenge.
If his approval drops to the teens he’ll be impeached.
If the GOP’s consumed in a civil war after the collapse of a personalist regime, and congress has reasserted its role as the terminal check on the executive. The guy who comes in the aftermath is going to have a really rough life.
