42. Trump May Finally Succeed In Killing Us All

Wed Jan 7, 2026, 01:42 AM

Jan 2026

If he's willing to launch an all-out invasion of Venezuela to shift attention away from his failing domestic policies and problems with his Epstein affairs, there should be no failure of imagination for all to realize he is quite capable of starting WWIII for him to willingly go out in a blaze of nihilistic glory as he comes closer to his final curtain call in his demented reality TV show. His lunatic antics were on full display as he addressed a Republican audience at his newly named Trump/Kennedy center. I am constantly reminded of my childhood "duck and cover" drills. How can anyone continue to allow him to control nuclear weapons?
