Trump knows that his true power over his army (which is what he's trying to develop) are these very mean tweets. It's why he spent all of 2021 setting up his new website, instead of doing what he promised and raised $250M to do - investigate and implement election security.
Trump knows that website, full of his devotees, is his true source of power. Whenever he posts something on Truth, they all fall down in adoration. He only posts a portion of those same posts over on Gab, or Gettr, where they get a much different treatment.
He uses these mean tweets to try to build his larger than life image as a fighter, when in TRUTH (pun intended) he's often just using Alinsky tricks to cling onto power.
Unfortunately, the truth is that Trump was never a fighter while in office. He rolled over for Fauci and the CDC. He rolled over on deficit spending. He rolled over for Mexican payment of the wall. He even rolled over and didn't take the fight to the Deep State that was blitzkrieging him at every turn.
Trump was/is a personality. He's not a leader. Four more years of leadership like his will destroy what's left of this country.
As Laz mentioned in his earlier post, I'm just sick and tired. The guy is falling apart and in need of serious intervention (not that he would listen to folks who would try to help him).
Trump should hope for a DeSantis presidency. Without it, we will be looking at a President Newsom or Biden. With those two, Trump will be looking at his remaining years either in jail or in court. DeSantis is his only real hope for peace...
The thing is, his little army on echo-chamber TS is only a small fraction of voters. I call TS the “Q Quackhouse”.* It’s infested with Q followers, even worse than FR.
The Q followers will vote for him no matter what he does or doesn’t do, will make excuses for him ‘til Kingdom Come. Yet he patronizes them. They’ll follow him over a cliff like the lemmings they are. So why alienate voters he needs by catering to them? Seems to me, it’s just to feed his ego.
If Trump thinks his pitiful Q Quackhouse TS is his real source of power ... well, Heaven help the poor man. It’s just a tiny segment of the voter population and a much ridiculed one. But Trump adulation certainly abounds there!

Good analysis of a very troubled man who knows his ship is sinking and there’s not a darn thing he can do about it.
