Trump has two goals in life:
1) applause and admiration
2) avenging perceived slights
Plus he is as stupid as a pile of shit.
The Dems can use this. Trump has already succeeded in exposing the GOP for what they are.
By letting him believe he can get revenge on McConnel, Ryan, GOP AND feel loved and admired, he can be used to enact policies that are good for America and against the GOP goal of destroying American Democracy.
Use him. The GOP is terrified of his base of deplorables. Make the GOP own their hypocrisy and dishonesty. They will soon be waged in a war against Trump and his base. By playing Trump, the GOP monster can be destroyed.
I know doing anything with Trump is onerous and a horrible thought, but he CAN be used to our benefit. We are stuck with the GOP heading the executive branch for more than 3 years. By manipulating this dumbass, we can demolish the GOP blight on our Democracy.
Am I wrong?

(4,483 posts)I suggested to my husband that it seems to have dawned on Trump that allying himself with the hard right has brought nothing but bad reviews and the lowest approval rating in history, and maybe he is trying out working with Democrats to see if that will bring him the love he so dearly wants. My husband said Trump isn't smart enough to figure that out.
I think he is. I don't think it's anything like strategic planning on his part, more like a little test, a toe in the water--and look! Praise from those meanies in the press!
I agree with you--we can use this.
