Absolutely. So next thought...do we as Americans want a president that does not have or abide by checks and balances? Do we want 1 political person to have that much power and citizens rights be damned? I know I do not want that.
Trump hid under a pile of Secret Service guys until it was safe. Then, still surrounded by them, he started playing the tough guy. What a joke. How anyone is dim enough to fall for that clowns act is one of life's great mysteries.
It was all staged! And like the 2024 elections that were stolen from Harris, trumps playing everyone as he screws his supporters by getting rid of the over draft charged banks can charge, a consumer bureau that protects every day maga and the list will go on and on. His supporters are in a cult
Getting shot is a surprise. Of course he got up after that. Besides, he was only grazed. At least that is all we can surmise because there has never been a clear accounting of Trump's injuries at that event released publicly.
Playing chicken is an entirely different game because there is no surprise. You're deliberately headed toward someone coming straight at you at high speed. Although, today with air bags, seat belts, crush zones and other safety features, your risk of dying is a lot lower than the good old days.
Something I’ve not heard anyone say… Obviously, the Trump-ers do not expect there to ever again be a Democratic president. They certainly wouldn’t want a Dem to have these powers they are seeking for Trump.
This then pre-supposes control over future elections, through intimidation and suppression. And I don’t think they will stop at voter suppression. I can picture seizing ballot boxes in the future, or having armed guards at polling places for intimidation. Terrorizing people via the IRS.
They’ve already neutered the entire Republican Party. I’m sure they figure they can do the same to enough of the population to render future elections meaningless.
My 4 words? Unhinged blubbering democracy destroyer.
This is a great analysis, Chris. You slice right into the heart of the matter. The essence of a bully, a narcissist, and an autocrat… all neatly summarized in four words. (We won't tell your mother-in-law about the printed version of your comments.) Love your work.
The utter spinelessness of the Republicans in Congress is breathtaking to behold. Can you imagine John McCain accepting this?
When this goes bad to the point that people are champing at the bit to put Democrats back in office at the midterms it will be a very different game. But there's going to a lot suffering until then.
What Trump is doing to America is grotesquely bad, but in only concerns America.
What he's doing to the world order, established and maintained by the USA since WWII, is much more dangerous, destabilizing, and a far greater threat than any particular cultural warfare moment of current US domestic politics.
President Trump surly not gonna swerve, look at everything thrown at him, this stuff is ez! Obviously elections have consequences but no one should be surprised in the slightest, he said over & over this is what is was/is gonna do….
Chris, do you still think our democratic institutions will survive this assault?
Here’s one vote in FAVOR of Chris swearing. It’s totally in sync with the times…
Absolutely. So next thought...do we as Americans want a president that does not have or abide by checks and balances? Do we want 1 political person to have that much power and citizens rights be damned? I know I do not want that.
Yep, that's it!
I just wish someone would cold cock him and then we'll see what he does.
Trump would never have survived a real game of chicken because he doesn't have the nerve it takes.
Really?!?
Shot in the ear and stands up and yells Fight Fight Fight! Cmon man, President Trump tough as nails. Your comment made me 😂, thanks 4 that!

Staged?!? You’re a total nut! Tell that to the families who lost a loved one! Crawl back in your dark cave
Staged??? Stolen??? I’m no MAGA but that sounds more like something they would say.

Once again - spot on! And he is having too much fun doing this. Sickening, but predictable. He's been a bully since he was a kid.
Blame, Bully, Belittle. And yeah, “bi**h”.

Midterms cannot come fast enough.
I really believe the D’s will take back the House and then I predict we are going to see Trump impeached a third time.
Unfortunately, impeachment is totally irrelevant now.
Too late!
Um. Nobody puts baby in a corner time?
You are so right! I just wish someone would take the dare and expose him for the naked emperor he is.

I think you have Trump’s psyche figured out! And Happy Birthday 🎂 Chris
I like this analogy so much. So who's gonna be the ones not to swerve?
President Trump surly not gonna swerve, look at everything thrown at him, this stuff is ez! Obviously elections have consequences but no one should be surprised in the slightest, he said over & over this is what is was/is gonna do….
Lemme guess - STFU?
I have four word (besides the apt “I fucking dare you.”) that define Trump's first month...
Dystopian
Incompetent
Unconstitutional
Expected
With shout out to...
Stupid
Counterproductive
Anti-American
Mobster-ish
