    War must be a lot easier when you know that you’re not going to be on the frontline, or something idk I’m not a general

      Yeah. I think part of his thinking is that the suffering will happen to other people, and he’ll be safely insulated, far away. I won’t say he’s crazy for thinking that. That said:

      1. A lot of the people who are in a position to support him will be squarely in sufferingtown.
      2. A lot of dictators meet with bad ends. E.g. Putin supposedly obsessively worries over what happened to Gaddafi in the end (and Gaddafi was a hell of a lot more capable at this game than Trump is.)

        Not to mention he’s protected by the Sevret Service.

        I doubt very much that they’ve all gone full traitor. All it takes is one guy whose kept some tiger balm on his lip and kept his mouth shut to put a few rounds in his head.

        Or more likely, to arrange for not-traitors to scoop him on the way to some rally.

      Florida’s National Guard is target practice for the US military. They’d be on Trump’s doorstep in hours.
