"His rambling nonsense can only stay on track...based on crowd reaction" is true and important.

I'm not sure what strategy would really be useful in depriving him of this oxygen.

If you see Trump's crowd sitting in "stony-faced silence" you know that you are dreaming. I'd like to have that dream myself.

Let's hope it's a trend!

I foresee home detention in FL or exile in Moscow.

In detention Trump would be like Napoleon on Elba, plotting a comeback.

They may have to exile him to St. Helena but I prefer a prison wing in a federal penitentiary in the middle of "flyover- country."

Make it a reality show with a periodic surveillance feed as we watch the slow deterioration of his scowl.

I know it's cruel but we have to set an example.

He and his father spent their entire adult lives scamming and conning. It's the only thing he knows. And then Roy Cohn supercharged this negative tendency.

And then against everyone's predictions (including my own) he rode his sociopathy into the presidency. He bent an entire political party to his will.

He can never stop and why should he?

Or, being a supreme Machiavellian, Trump sees the benefit in lying and having his multiple manifest lies absorbed by the media and by the populous. In other words when he is allowed to spin an imaginary world of lies he can never be held to account for anything. Nothing is real; nothing to resist. We are all living in Trump's dream: Jan 6 was patriotic.

The MSM and SCOTUS enables all of this.

I used to think Hitler was a purely German phenomena.
