Is He Trying to Sabotage Himself?

We clearly don't have any need for the equivalent of the Iron Dome here in the continental US, but even if we did, would we want someone just walking around with CTE and a dollar store sheriff badge in charge of it? Because that would be the dumbest thing since putting roadkill-eater and brainworm-haver Bobby Kennedy in charge of anything at all to do with health--given that he has no education on the subject but "his own research" and a ton of basically shit opinions.  He'll ban fluoride, vaccines and abortion--and then, I think we might see some real fuckery. 

Look, I don't know what desperate and weird thoughts animate these kinds of celebrity stunt-casting proposals, but just like his odd McDonald's photo-op and his garbage truck bizarreness, these are things flailing campaigns might do. 

What I do know is Trump, never especially disciplined or policy-oriented, seems more hostile, more desperate, with a whole ton of violence ideation, And because his, um, cult-members feed on his vibes, this is potential for something unpleasant. 

But we aren't new to this--and I am for a harsh reaction. 

The 1/6 Committee laid out in exhaustive detail the steps Trump and his minions went to facilitate "Stop the Steal"--which was, to be more accurate "starting the steal". It was botched by incompetence and there being no kernel of reality for many of the false voter fraud claims to cling to.

I think Trump seems exhausted because he might just realize he isn't winning jack shit under his own steam because all the fumes he's running on are just basically keeping him alive. He has allies, but they have seen what the DOJ has done for others, and might even see why they don't want it for themselves. 

He has a sentencing for the hush money trial in a few weeks. He might be pretty obviously fucking with his bail conditions if he incites another 1/6 or perpetuates a fraud. 

I truly don't know if he's sabotaging himself, but I do think he should recognize it's no cheat if he loses, he has himself to blame.

But if he decided he was putting all the blame on JD Vance, I would actually find that funny as hell, so yes, that, too.
