People project more fantasies onto this man then a damn movie screen. Acting like he's all thoughtful and strategic in any way is fantasy.

I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt last time he was in office, and I observed he had no principles whatsoever, other than enriching himself and his cronies, and serving his own ego.

He talks tough on China and it's already making noises about getting rid of the CHIPS act, because leaving that in place would leave some of his predecessor's legacy in place, which hurts his feelings or something. I'm no expert there but it's one of many examples of how serving his base egoic needs takes precedence over any actual agenda.

I don't doubt he will do some things that I agree with, and some things that may end up with positive results, but those will be purely coincidental.

Electing him is like dropping a hand grenade onto the chessboard and seeing where the pieces end up.

Some people felt that was necessary and I can respect that, though I don't really agree. Many others who think this is a man with a plan are delusional.
