I'm fucking fascinated about what Trump's going to do now. So many people on Shitter are saying "The Trump Era is over" but I don't know. We've seen the old bastard come back from the dead over and over. The reports of his demise always wind up being greatly exaggerated. We know he wants to fight Iran again. We know he doesn't care how unpopular the war is, he'll prosecute it anyway (likely due to Israeli influence). If this incoming Congress is gonna get in his way, could he do something unusual? I've always figured that he WANTS to be in power for life. He wants to be dictator. He wants to be king. He wants to be Caesar. Republicans like to downplay January 6th but that was real shit, that was a coup attempt, that was Trump trying to stay in power. He's much stronger now than he was at any point in his first term. In particular, through Hegseth he has the military behind him. The rank and file are loyal to Hegseth, and he's been steadily purging the generals and admirals that aren't loyal to Trump. Could the motherfucker do it? Do what he didn't in 2021? Stay in power forever? Pull a Napoleon III? I at least think it's legitimately on the table, in a way too many people aren't taking seriously.
