re: #111 Blind Frog Belly White

I think this is the equivalent of the old prison advice that you should choose the biggest guy as soon as you get there and beat the hell out of them, so they’ll let you alone afterwards. Trump figured he had to notch a big win against the incoming Democratic House so everyone would know he’s still the Alpha.

Trump is desperately afraid of how weak and small he’ll look if he loses. MUCH, MUCH weaker than he’d be if he hadn’t tried this stunt.

this i think is as usual gives trump too much credit for strategic thinking, planning, etc
