Listen. Trump is a broken, insecure man. Authoritarians are by nature insecure, broken men. They’ll destroy every effort they’re ever a part of. They’ll never grow up, they’ll never change, they’ll never meet the moment.

Stop waiting. He is who he is. https://www.themuckrake.com/main/authoritarian
Even in a generational pandemic, even as hundreds of thousands of people die and American comes unraveled, Trump will make it about him. He cannot help it. He cannot do anything different. This is an authoritarian cycle. We are knee deep in it. See it. Recognize it.
