See I think the number one most important thing with dotard is to be able to show people he’s in charge. He’s hard wired that way and can’t stop it. More important than donations, adulation, really anything else.
When I view his nonsense through this lens it makes more sense. Tarriffs are just that, a big flex to make sure the whole world knows he can tank the stock market any time he wants, and now you all have to cowtow to me. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll back track just to show you all how much you need me. His psychology is pretty simple to understand to me - he’s on a quest to become the most powerful person in the world. And whatever you think of him, he’s fairly good at accumulating power. So this Elton feud is really just playing into his hands. In dotards mind this is just another opportunity to expand his power, by flexing it against the richest and probably the next most influential person there is.
This is what I think Elrod doesn’t understand. He’s triggered the wrong thing in the orange dipshit. And like it or not, he has more power right now than the richest man in the world. And there is no way he can’t not prove that so we all know it. And Elrod is probably too drunk off his own farts to realize it.
If nazi boy doesn’t cave, the orange dipshit will come after him in a big way. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll both come crashing down as a result.
One can hope, I suppose.
