He's kinda been acting that way.

(115,869 posts)intentionally, but I don't think he's trying to kill people as much as he just doesn't care. Other people aren't real to him unless they are directly interacting with him (and barely then). We citizens aren't any more real than those little green army men kids used to play with except to the extent we can be manipulated to vote for him. What's important to Trump is how it all looks - mostly to him. He is throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks, and "sticking" means only positive optics. He will say anything that he wants to be true because he thinks he can make people believe whatever he says (and some of the more hopeless MAGAts will believe him), and those things are whatever he thinks can get him re-elected. If a lot of people die (which he will deny anyhow), he won't care as long as he can control a false narrative.

He is in a bit of a panic (especially considering what was going on today) and is thrashing around, trying to stay ahead.

Rump would literally, without a SECOND'S hesitation, sign off on the killing of ONE HUNDRED MILLION of us if he could profit off of it.
You cant really blame rump either, his brain is broken. He not only is one of the stupidest adults alive but he is a pure narcissist sociopath.
I blame the sociopath fascists who support him.

(115,869 posts)If he wants to kill off his own voters - older people and the MAGAts who refuse to wear masks or do social distancing because Freedumb - he's doing a damn good job.

(31,121 posts)are not set up to do it correctly, red states will refuse to cast electoral votes and while you might think that is good for us, rump will then say the election is invalid.
Watch...
I am ignorant on the exact process of voting as in the county reports to the state and then the state to what. If states dont report votes and say the election wasnt proper, this could happen, right?
