Does anyone else think he just doesnt want to do this shit anymore? he never truly cared about a wall of any of that shit, he just wanted what was good for himself and his ego.
I think people like stephen miller wanted the fucking wall and immigration shit more than trump did. Hes still a piece of shit dont get me wrong, i just think he said what people like stephen miller told him would help him win and make his base worship him more
theres a story that dip shit lindsey graham tells about how trump was amenable to a daca agreement, then a bit later on stephen miller got in his ear and thats when he said the "why do we want people from shithole countries coming here?" comment and then rejected the deal.
i guess that was just a tldr to say trump has always been a puppet for freaks like stephen miller to me.
Not an original thought, but I really think would have loved having a title in a government that doesn't have a solitary chief executive. If he got to be like, the American version of the president that just gets to cut ribbons and throw handsome football player hamburger parties
and have a prime minister that does all the actual government stuff, he'd be like the happiest person alive. His perfect dream job is a fake no-show presidency where he just takes pictures smiling and shaking hands with famous big guys and hosting Our Favorite President's Tremendous Talk Show where he's basically Regis Philbin or Joan Rivers doing a Letterman kinda late night show.
A lot of it had a corny lib Daily Show-esque level writing, but Anthony Atamanuik's Trump impression he did playing him for the "Bernie vs Trump" comedy debates with (guy we love to see ) James Adomian and eventually The President Show really got into his weird psychology sometimes instead of just copying his voice and appearance where he'd abruptly go from talking about how he loves the big trucks and wants to sit in the driver's seat and honk the horn to imagining himself driving it off a bridge and giving a morbid soliloquy about how he could finally be at peace then. He's one of the hardest people to satirize well imo since he's so bizarre, but weird and dark Trump satire is so much better than "he's a dang Cheeto that's gay with Putin" level shit.
Well yeah, but his ego couldn't stand being secondary to anyone, so it'd have to be like, "Super President (Cool Famous Guy)" and "Regular President (Does Boring C-SPAN Stuff.)"
I vaguely remember him making a comment after the RNC in 2016 where the press asked him what Mike Pence's role in the campaign would be, and he said something like "He'll be handling domestic and foreign policy" and the followup question being "...wait, so what are you doing then" and he just said "making America great again" and walked away.
He started the campaign to promote a book. he used to be friendly with the Clinton's, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided on doing the pied piper strategy together
