Honestly, I disagree.

The strategy of not provoking the bear didn't work. The bear is provoked and attacked. Now is not the time to play dead and hope it gets bored. This bear will not get bored. This bear will happily feast, satisfied that the prey didn't put up a fight.

I don't think so. Watch, my prediction is that Trump will be gone on schedule and things will return to some semblance of normal.

What more damage will be have done, by the time he's gone on schedule?

I think that's part of what's at stake.

Trump is a grifter and a narcissist. He will not go away after the election. He will do everything he can to stay in the public eye and milk more money out of his supporters. Expect him to try to assert control over the Republican Party after the election.

Imo, the only way to deal with someone like him is to go scorched earth.
