Step 3 — Announce end of crisis.

Step 4 — Declare victory.

Everyday it just seems to get worse with this guy. A callus bully who goes after those he perceives as weak. He thrives on anger and division. He surrounds himself with head bobbing greedy sycophants intent on destroying the Constitution for their own personal gain
