I asked this question because I know what I thought the worse thing he could do and I wanted to know if others here on DU had the same thought.
I didn't post what my thought was - because like one of the responses - I didn't want to give Trump any ideas for fear he might actually act on it.
Now - I see Lawrence O'Donnell asked the question and got the response on his show today. So the cat is out of the bag.
My thought was that the worse thing he could do before he leaves office is to pardon those people that participated in the insurrection at the Capitol Bldg on Jan 6th.
What a kick in the pants that would be - but I wouldn't put it past Trump to actually do that.
It's been his MO since he took office. Something happens that he's involved with. The MSM talking heads talk through the incident and speculate as to how Trump would react and what he could do.
I've always thought - because he listens so much to MSM news - that if he hears some of these suggestions by the MSM talking heads - that he looks at it like he has permission to do what they suggest and then he acts on it and actually does it.
Boy - I thought when Biden beat him on Nov 3rd that I would be able to feel better about things, get some sleep and quit worrying.
Didn't happen. I'm more wound up than ever - and that's why I'm up now instead of in bed - because I can't sleep.
I sure can't wait until Wednesday at Noon - but we still have 4+ days left of this deranged criminal to deal with.
