I agree except I’d add it’s equally important for him to get attention. To be seen by others, for others to be talking about him, to be on TV, having his ass kissed & sucked up to by everyone around him.

There are plenty of secretive, reclusive wealthy people. Trump’s off the charts narcissism demands constant feeding.

That’s why he does so many rallies. The grift of course but also basking in being the center of attention.

The guy is not capable of holding a conversation about anything but himself & then it has to be about he’s the greatest or the smartest or the most persecuted or has done the most of anyone ever in whatever subject is being discussed.

He’s a textbook narcissistic sociopath.

I've not been able to decide if I think his narcissism is driving his lust for money, that he wants to be seen to be rich to boost himself up. Or if he thinks the grandstanding he does is to boost his brand, with money being the sole focus.

I suspect it's both in a large way. But I can't tell which one is driving.

While I am not across every Kamala interview or op-ed piece there is nothing I see that says leadership

I am starting to move to the Michelle Obama idea

She doen't want to be president or run for president, which is just as well for tRump and other Republicans as she would destroy any of them in a debate

Why the world fears four more years of Trump

Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance has made the likelihood of a second Trump term far more real and has China and the rest of the world on edge.

a major error of judgment from the biden camp to give the dangerous lying narcissist oxygen when even his most outlandish lies were not going to be tested by the moderators.

It was interfered with.

Show us where the democrats touched your election

Seriously tho, the GOP agrees with you (kinda). Interfered with by the Russians, to help Trump.

The nearly 1,000-page report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, details how Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf.

Senate panel finds Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election

The report purposely does not come to a final conclusion, as the other reports did, about whether there is enough evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated or colluded with Russia to sway the election, leaving its findings open to partisan interpretation.

Trump needs an enormous cashflow to sustain his lifestyle and he has never been able to generate that cashflow from legitimate business dealings.

Trump has to rally just to raise cash. It is his entire business model right now. And if he becomes president then he can add as much public money to his revenue as he can get away with. And this time he will go hard.

He will quadruple the amount he charged the secret service to stay at his golf courses in his first term

Trump hotels charged his Secret Service protectors 'exorbitant' rates

New documents indicate Trump-owned properties repeatedly charged the Secret Service rates far higher than government rates, as high as $1,185 per room per night.

He still owes taxes also.

Wonder what the US Supreme Court will rule soon regarding Presidential Immunity.
Maybe another delay,anyways it's to late now.

Agreed.

Although the definition of what is a republican is changing daily. Which is central to the cirsis in US politics.

At least Christie and Kinzinger still call out the bloated propagandist.

If trump gets back in he can says anything he does is official and can’t be charged . Murdering opponents , accepting bribes , pressuring justice dept . A numberof people may leave usa if there were offside with trump .

In a monumental ruling, the Supreme Court ruled Monday that former presidents enjoy a presumption of criminal immunity for official acts while in the White House, handing a win to former President Trump.

You cant just claim an act is official and it becomes official.

If he whipped out a gun and shot someone during his morning coffee, he would be in strife. If he ordered a drone strike on a US citizen who was engaged in combat against the USA, he's fine.

I expected a level of immunity. Our Crown has the same immunity. It didnt come as a surprise.

And I use the Drone strike example, because Obama literally ordered a drone strike on a US citizen (who was fighting for ISIS). No trial etc. That's murder if you or I do it.

Obama was (and should remain) free from prosecution for it. He was acting within the scope of his Constitutional role as the Commander in chief against an adversary of the USA.

The real kicker is going to be if the SCOTUS rule that 'conspiring to overturn a lawful election and install yourself as an unelected dictator for 4 years' is 'within the core duties and constitutional responsibilities' of the office of President.

For mine, such an act is repugnant to the core duties of the President. And if the SCOTUS somehow reason themselves into thinking the Framers of the Constitution intended for a President to act in such a manner, free from criminal prosecution, they're absolutely cooked.

Can a President simply order a rival election candidate killed without any repercussions?

The SCOTUS interestingly specifically called out some of his alleged conduct as being immune (conversations he had with the VP and others about the election) but left open some of the other conduct he engaged in as being potentially not covered by immunity.

It now goes back to the lower courts for them to argue what conduct is covered and what conduct is not (which by no co-incidence pushes the trial past the election date).
