    “It seems to me Donald Trump’s strategy here is essentially damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,”

    That has ALWAYS been Trump’s strategy for everything.

      And it has worked spectacularly well. Hoping someone will have the guts to finally impose consequences on him.

      The problem with him is really the cult he tries to get to act outside of the law. They are enough that even just as voters they were a problem, but when armed and radicalized, become something much more sinister.

        The only part of that I disagree with is the part that implies that is the only problem with him. Otherwise, yes.

        I have a cousin that disappeared off Facebook that was a huge Trump fan (he literally commented “Don’t worry, we still love you, President Trump” after the election loss). It’s possible he unfriended me, which means I wouldn’t see his profile or anything, but the timing is odd - you’d think he would have done that when we were arguing about, say, Covid in 2020. It makes me wonder where he was on January 6 and where he is now.
