I would prefer the cabinet to declare him unfit, because otherwise it will only ever be portrayed as Democratic vindictiveness. I think he should be kicked out, just as a statement. His fans will hate it, but they're a lost cause anyway, at least in the short term. Changing them is the work of many years, and judging by the early reaction from the right wing media, they're not going to be changing so it's just a case of managing them.
Eh, he’s said he’ll accept a peaceful transition, and so long as they let him keep saying “actually I think I won” he may be willing to go along with anything. I’m not expecting him to suddenly be “presidential” or whatever. I’m expecting him to not want prison.
Mm.
Trump has narcissitic personality disorder. I mean, lots of this stuff over the last four years was predictable.
He cannot help himself. He has almost certainly realised that this time he's really shit the bed. I mean, tapping foreign governments for personal advantage is bad, obstructing justice is bad, but siccing a mob on the legislature... wowser. So sure, he's going to keep his head down, but if something prods him in just the wrong way, he's going to go off on one. He self-sabotages because he has a personality disorder, so
he cannot help himself. I would strongly suggest the aim of all his family, aides and advisors for the next week and a half is to keep him out of the public eye, away from cameras, away from watching Fox or OAN, or anything else that's going to set him off.
It's going to be really tough. Trump, being a narcissist and chronically inscure and attention seeking, wants to see that he is being talked about, and that people love and admire him. He'll hate not looking at the news at most fawning networks. And he'll be itching to phone them up, Tweet, get ratings and attention, be listened to and feted. But if he goes live, he's going to be driven by his psychological inadequacy to say stuff some of which is likely to do nothing but damage himself.
