Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.
The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.
Do not.

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.
It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.
Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

but, what the hell, just because there is no peace doesn't mean Trump shouldn't get a Nobel Peace Prize for it.
When Trump pushed his peace deal between Rwanda and Congo, he probably didn't know that fighting was actually between Congo and a militia backed by Rwanda, not the government directly. So his peace deal didn't mean much abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
