      It was never not going to be. That supposed intelligent Americans would rather sit on the sidelines and allow it to happen - citing ‘moral grounds’ even - is appalling.

      Republican voters could at any moment say “we won’t vote Republican in the next election, unless Republican Congressmen impeach Donald Trump”. And yet, they do not - rather the reverse, they would rebel if Republican Congressmen impeached Trump.

      This is what 50% of America’s active voters want. For them, Trump is still infinitely better than an Obama Presidency.

      No. The only part Congress might play is waiving the time limits.

        He already seems to be imitating Kim in so many ways. Big difference is he has a powerful prosperous country to take down his path of narcissistic insanity.

        He was already given a purple heart from a veteran, twice. Once in 2016, and again in 2024 after the assassination attempt.

    Oh please let him do it. Let him build his tacky ballroom, let him put his signature on the money, let him smear his feces on the declaration of independence. Future generations of Americans need embarrassing reminders of what can happen to America, reminders they can’t ignore, and at least these don’t have a body count attached.

      You think future Americans will be embarrassed by all this and not idolizing it. I like your optimism. I, too, hope Americans can smarten up one day.

        If they’re idolizing it then at least that’s a good signal to the rest of the world to maintain American isolation.

      Grandiose, thick-skinned NPD patients show a sense of uniqueness or superiority, attitudes of entitlement, a belief that others envy their abilities or status, low empathy, social dominance, superficial charm, disdainfulness or snobbery, and an exploitative interpersonal style characterized by manipulation and selfishness.
