You could tell me Trump believes he's the second coming, and it would neither surprise nor affect me.

He's deranged. Once you truly accept that as fact, everything else false perfectly into place.

At this point, any protest movement needs to call for Trump's resignation or impeachment. There's no way we're safe while he's in power. There's no way he stops unless he's gone.

Trump's tactic #1:

a) float stupid idea

b) does it take off with base or some group? y: keep going

c) does it bother enemies? y: keep bringing it up

d) is it causing Trump problems? y: pretend it didn't happen and go to a) with different stupid idea

It never needs to result in anything

joocifer.bsky.social•1 day ago

.. in this case declaring it a crime isn't something he can do even by executive order, but it *is* something he can say to keep his low-information base riled up while distracting from other stuff

Also there's the possibility he really believes he can do it and just nobody is editing his posts now

"Divine Right of Kings" the King is the Law. The framers of the US Constitution specially authored it to avoid excessive Executive Power. Republicans know Trump is breaching the Constitution. Trump may not, because he can't fuckin' read & doesn't fuckin' care. Power, give me power to corrupt.
