I agree. Trump seems to be heading in that direction. Although he has probably opened a can of worms with gerrymandering in Texas.
Trump is more aware than anyone that he's running out of time, even for 2028. My guess is that he's going to be hitting hard and hitting low. If he keeps control of the House and Senate, our goose is surely cooked.
Although Trump may come away with clean hand is Epstein's death, I am quite certain he is capable of murder to get what he wants. In his deranged mental state, dissenting to murder would be a short trip.
Imagine what kind of dictator he'd make with full-blown Alzheimer.
I don't see how they can divvy up the goodies and still clear the path for Putin's march into Eastern Europe to restore the old USSR to its former power and glory.
And I can't picture Mr. Putin throwing away his lifelong goal just so Trump can get an award to "show up" Obama.
Mr. Putin wants to cement his legacy in history as the greatest leader Russia has ever known.
That's a lot to give up. Instead, I suspect these two gooney birds will join in a plot to stall Putin's advances until after Trump changes America into an autocracy with himself at the top of the heap. Maybe by another year or so.
