By Matt Underwood The idea that Trump will resort to “desperate” moves as he faces “political mortality” isn’t exactly a groundbreaking revelation. It’s almost a given, isn’t it? The last few years have been a masterclass in frantic actions, and it’s logical to expect more of the same, if not amplified, as the pressure mounts. It’s not about being an analyst; it’s about observing the obvious.
The actions taken recently, and those that may be coming, seem to stem from a place of fear and a desperate desire to cling to power and avoid the legal repercussions of past actions. This pursuit of self-preservation is a powerful motivator. We’re talking about someone who’s built his entire persona on never admitting defeat, on always being the “winner.” The thought of failure, the closing of the walls, that’s not something this person can take lightly. The pressure’s intense and the reactions are going to be just as extreme.
The pattern is pretty clear. The playbook involves stirring up his base, using divisive rhetoric to rally support, and potentially taking drastic actions to distract from mounting legal troubles. Starting a war, launching investigations designed to keep sensitive information sealed, or deploying troops in ways that could be seen as politically motivated: all are plausible moves. The potential damage caused during this phase could be substantial. It’s not just about what he *can* do, but what he’s *willing* to do to protect himself.
There is a sense that the situation could escalate to the point of major false-flag operations, and potentially even attempts to postpone elections. The stakes are incredibly high, as the actions taken could endanger the very foundations of democracy. It’s a dangerous time, with a malignant narcissist at the helm, where the lengths someone might go to save face are almost unimaginable.
The question isn’t whether this individual will make desperate moves; the question is how far those moves will go. How many lines will be crossed? How much damage will be inflicted before this person’s power truly wanes? The fear is that the desperation could lead to actions that threaten not just political careers, but the fabric of society.
It’s fair to expect the unexpected. This person has a track record of doing the unthinkable. We’ve seen actions that were once considered beyond the pale, become almost commonplace. So, the threshold for what constitutes “desperate” is likely shifting. What was shocking a few years ago might be, sadly, considered a typical day now.
The political dynamics are also important to consider. The unwavering support, the lack of compelling alternatives – these factors mean that the expected trajectory is not guaranteed. However, the closing of the walls will inevitably lead to an escalation. Whether it’s financial ruin or imprisonment, the consequences of what happened over the past years will certainly catch up.
It remains to be seen how the world will react. There is a strong sense of a person not only unwilling to accept defeat, but potentially willing to take extreme measures to avoid it. This is a situation that requires vigilance, critical thinking, and a firm commitment to the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It’s a time when it’s more important than ever to see the person for what they are – a conman, and a racist. And to hope that those who remain faithful to the cause will eventually understand the magnitude of the consequences of blind loyalty.
