He's putting up his best version of being a fascist dictator. When he falls it will be very hard with many rejoicing.

At the very least, Trump is mentally unbalanced. At worst, he's in desperate need of an urgent psychiatric evaluation & probably treatment.
The type of damage he's inflicting is reminiscent of Hitler, & he should be removed from power immediately. The fact that he's allowing - & very likely, approving 'shopping for judges' in order to get the result he wants is especially concerning since it means there's zero concern for guilt or innoicence.

Probably didn't want proof of what they all know...
Plausible deniability.

Trump seems ready to spout any old nonsense as long as he can point the finger ar whoever he deems fit,regardless of whether or not he's accurate. It gives the impression hat he probably doesn't know truth from utter bollocks & really doesn't care.

He's a vindictive, nasty, spiteful, bullying anachronism that is losing his marbles in a job he shouldn't be doing.

Indeed he is. Sadly those who voted for him are now discovering what the rest of us knew,or at the very least suspected.
There seems to be something about him which is missing, whether conscience or empathy or possiby both. The sooner he's obliged to step down, the better.

He's barking mad - & vindictive. He really is a nasty piece of work who shouldn't be in charge of anything, let alone an entire country.
Much of the damage he's doing will very likely cause repercussions for his Republican party & almost certainly in the long term.
With any sort of luck - & it will be well deserved, for their idiocy in backing Trump as a candidate a second time.

That once again confirms it - humans are indeed idiots.

Our species has evolved and survived so far by the less idiotic of us making technological advancements which the rest of our population benefits from. The wisdom in some of those advances in technology may well be questionable in some cases but that's a whole different discussion.

Well - I'd l ike to believe that some of us aren't actually idiots, but the evidence of idiocy is fairly extensive.
Particularly among politicians...
