In the summer of 2016, there were very few people predicting that he could be president. I was one of those few. I have not been surprised at any of his actions since my prediction. His character was well on display for all to see.
He need only say "Go occupy federal buildings" and the USA will have 100 Waco-type situations to deal with. This can lead to something even bigger.
If there have been some clandestine negotiations between this "cabinet" and some senior military officials, we should not be surprised.
There have been social and political pressures been building for several decades. I believe the short-term future for the USA has already been decided. Maybe the back rooms of the Biden administration can alter these winds of history, but most of us are out of this picture.
The USA's only saving grace is that Mr. Trump really is not that smart. Even if he gets 100 Waco's organized, he still has some planning to finish the job. Be rest assured that his cabinet is also not up to making the right kind of plans.
But accidents can still happen. When dancing the tango on the edge of cliff, it’s not hard to fall off.
