It has me wondering when, and how (and how soon) all of this is finally going to go kablooey. And on whom? Trump WILL throw everybody and everything out of the lifeboat, one by one, until he runs out of people to throw out.

At the end, all the shit and all the chicanery, and all the wheeling and dealing, and all the MANY kinds of violations he needs to answer for. He may be dead by then. But that doesn’t end his story, his lies, his cheating, his sins, his manipulations and tricks, his vindictiveness, or anything else he doesn’t want in the history books about him.
