As Boss Hogg wrecks our treasury, our military and reputation in the world, he is driven by one thing…His massive ego…plus an overwhelming sense of revenge.

 He is there only for himself. The principal aim of his government as he sees it is his own glorification — a desperate quest to never lose face and to pursue vengeance against anyone who might undermine his sense of self.

Hence Trump’s failed war with Iran — a military failure and disastrous strategic mistake. There is no apparent plan to end the conflict, only the futile efforts of a president desperate to shed the stench of defeat. That is what the false negotiations and endless missile strikes are all about: a way to try to end the war without having lost it. Peace with honor, this time as something closer to farce.

The danger, of course, is what happens if there is no way out. What if Trump is truly stuck, fully caught in a trap of his own making?

With the terrible power of the United States at his fingertips, it is frightening to contemplate what he might do to save his fragile sense of self. He has already tried to wreck the country in pursuit of revenge against all those who challenge his ego and authority. There’s no reason to think that he won’t try to wreck the world in pursuit of the same.

What?

You think the asshole cares about anyone but himself?

HA!
