He’s not acting the fool, and there’s nothing remotely funny about it. Let’s forget words like “clown” and “buffoon” and even “crazy.” That makes it all seem unintentional, if not harmless and a little silly. This is anything but. Making sure there’s no funds for emergency programs? Selling off protected lands? Goading our volatile adversaries? Subverting the entire election process? This is deliberate, calculated, callous destruction. This is evil. This is a wicked ruler attacking his own land, his own people.
I think he does care. He craves the sight of the damage he is doing. He wants to watch it burn down. All he wants now is revenge, and he’ll use anyone and anything to get it. What he doesn’t care about is the harm he’s doing his own people, his sympathizers as well as his opponents.
The thing I simply do not understand is why no one can stop him and no one even seems to be trying. I can’t believe no one is trying . . . but just like a wildfire, this rampage does incalculable damage every minute that it continues, and this one is zero percent contained.
