That is my gut feeling as well. I wonder if we're gonna see more expansion in the south americas as well in the coming year..

You can measure the success of a pathological narcissist by brain-minutes. A brain-minute is one human brain thinking about the narcissist for one minute, no matter whether the thought is admiration, confusion, disgust, anger, or fear. You can continue to amass brain-minutes even after you die, as long as people keep thinking about what a [saint | jerk] you were.

By this measure, he is in contention to become the most successful pathological narcissist in history. Which is his sole goal.

I don't like it, but all the time I spent writing this comment contributes to his brain-minute score. So does the time you spend reading it.

In theory, this perspective is similar to the advice to ignore the bully. In practice, we've let this one go on too long.

This is exactly it

This is the right answer. I don't know why everyone is overreacting saying how the US democracy is dead and he will be in office forever.

He's just a narcissistic guy who wants to achieve some goals thw US had previously to show he's the only one who could do it, and to show what this great power can do (Iran, Venezuela, etc...)

I also think he's probably aware of his age and cognitive decline, so that's why he's in such a hurry to do everything as fast as possible. He's not the same as in 2017

Why this reaction? Please, look at everything going on in the US and the world not just this one aspect.

like Hitler in 1942

Someone buy that orange wanker a bottle of sand from Venezuela and a rock from Greenland and give him his meds for the night.
