This is what he does, when there is no one around him to tell him "no".
A shiny object gets his attention, he creates absolute chaos, isolates America even further, wiggles his way out of it, everyone else deals with the chaos, and then he's claiming some big "victory" and is on to his next shiny object.
Canada, Greeland, Denmark, Gaza, Iran, tariffs, ICE raids, threatening the Fed, threating businesses, threatening the press, destroying America's legal infrastructure, on and on and on and on.
And he has every resource at his disposal to produce maximum carnage. This is a child with a bazooka.
