    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.
