He just wants to grift and stay out of jail. Why do people have this overarching need for super boogeymen? A condition found both on the right and the left. Will he fuck up some things? Certainly. Is he the second coming of some Marvel Comics super duper villain? No. He's a moron, in bad health and he's still controlled by the same political realities as everyone else. Remember, the majority of Americans didn't vote for him. They either voted for Harris or didn't vote. And many of those who did are either having buyer's remorse or soon will be.

Even Putin, the other arch super duper villain some here think is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent is having to use cheap, proxy cannon fodder in his failed war with Ukraine because he knows mass conscription of his own people won't fly. That's off the table if he wants to keep his job. So stop with the crazy shit and wallowing around in self pity. It's annoying and only increases your blood pressure, taking years off your life.
