1. I don't think he's aiming for a "forever war"

If so, then his handlers would have had a plan in place to leverage it domestically.

It looks to me like he fell into a well and is buying time to work his way out of it.
WITH A SHOVEL!!

Instead, he plotted to leverage a doof attack (1) that was known in advance, to promote his idiot "Panic Ballroom" (2)

Now, that is advanced goofiness.

(1) A theory about the "assassination attempt"

But I do think Trump and the Secret Service were aware of the threat in advance. Multiple reports indicated that the suspect's family warned law enforcement about the mental stability of the shooter before the incident began. Instead of cancelling the event, Trump and his team sought to gain maximum political advantage from the situation. Trump and his administration were never in any actual danger. Secret Service confronted the shooter on an entirely different floor. There were dozens of armed officers protecting the ballroom. I think they knew he was coming and did nothing to stop him. Otherwise he would have been shot immediately.

(2) Ballroom? It's a Panic Room

Expecting rabid Dem militia members (what?) to storm the White House.

2. Maybe he's planning to barricade himself in there on Jan. 20th, 2029.

If he makes it that long.

That could work, though. Just cut off his internet access and let him keep pretending that he’s still president king.

3. He can just stare into a mirror.

To see what's on the other side.

5. I saw it back in May 2025

He’s spoiling for a disaster, and trying daily to create one.

Gandhi! King! Indivisible!
