@Dedicated_to_Inspire_etc8: His followers and his supporters don't know the difference between brinksmanship and desperate, willful recklessness. They believe he's playing some kind of four-dimensional chess, but he's just a guy more narcissistic than Putin and who's boxed himself into a tiny corner, and his only hope to avoid jail and/or elsewise ruin is, quite apparently, to get back into the White House or bring the entire place down around him.
