Who knows. Could just burn down the ballroom this time and would anyone be too mad?

Wouldn't they need to build the ballroom first, before burning it down?

No need - it’s already a toxic garbage fire.

		It's a metaphorical toxic garbage fire, but unless I've missed some news the current state is somewhat different from the "actually set fire to it" historical events referenced earlier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_President%27s_House_b...

Let’s be honest, everyone who tried appeasement is in a much worse position with the man child.

There does seem to be a strain of Trump respecting people for standing up to him.

		I guess that's the thing with draft dodging, cowardly sex predators. If the going gets tough, they find an easier victim. Look how well Iran has done standing up to him, he has literally been fucking owned by Iran and really done nothing of substance in response. One of the worlds more infamous, low IQ, low T, sleep on the job, corrupt, DEI hires ever, the irony is wonderful ;)
