I've avoided doing any diagnosing but I'd call this inability to quit threatening and posturing really troubling. I fear how much he might get away with because the GOP props him up and runs roughshod over our rights but this whole transition has pointed at a nightmare four years, if that.

Let's assume that Donnie goes off the deep end, gets struck by Alzheimers (Not that I'd wish such a fate even on him), or dies and Mike Pence takes over. Do you think that all those Trumpkins who voted for Donnie are going to rally around Pence, especially when the Congressional Republicans start laying Koch-roach eggs in future budgets?

I doubt it.

Until/unless that eventuality comes to pass, I am reminded of the famous quote by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Ferdinand made when he went ga-ga:

"I am the Emperor, and I want dumplings!"
