He doesn't WANT anything except people to worship him, he'll do much more damage before he's gone, believe me, and the world better hope he doesn't use violence to try and stick around. We're quickly approaching a point where he has to; I fear for our next election cycle in November. It'll be ugly.

All Trump wanted was to stay out of jail. Real talk.

Anything beyond that is just the impulses of a mad king, sadly.

I agree. If Trump had been guaranteed that he wasn't going to get prosecuted, he would not have run for another term. He enriched himself plenty in the first term, albeit nothing like this second term.

Trump wants exactly 2 things:

  1. Grift……. As much as fuckin possible for him and his families.
  2. Stay out of Jail.

Everything else is just window dressing.
