Any scheme they can come up with to shovel money their way is likely.

until someone attacks ( violently ) one of his masked goons.

Then he will declare the insurrection act and possibly even martial law, suspend the elections for 2026, and deploy national guard and regular army into the "Democrat cities"... and continue the assault on any programs that help the elderly, the poor, and the disabled in this country... ACA, SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security.

He will continue to remove more funding from science, start making any green energy illegal, maybe even go after nuclear energy. HHS will continue to promote woo cures and de fund vaccines and medical research of any kind.

Trade may even come to a screeching halt. The resulting double whammy of inflation ( no imports or very high tariffs on things like coffee, bananas, etc ) plus the removal of immigrant farm workers will send food costs sky high. Technology will be slow to open new factories in the US... and those factories that do get built to replace the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwan imports will NOT employ very many people... start thinking something like 6 or 12 per shift... mostly there to assist the AI that runs the place. Our economy will suffer a great recession possible depression, causing him to extend the insurrection act / martial law indefinitely.

There, is that dark enough for you? But this is my prediction. I hope it doesn't come about.

I put nothing past this guy and his cast of ghouls. The Epstein ghost that is haunting him is directing a lot of his actions as well.

It is a plank in the classic authoritarian's platform.

He sees his mates like Putin invading a resource-rich neighbor, and he admires Xi and Kim for their strong, manly sword-waving.

So he is floating ideas for an invasion, a cakewalk war like Reagan and Bush had. Canada? Iceland? Venezuela? Panama (again)?

The spoils are not as important as the victory to him. Victory means aggrandizement, accolades, a chapter in history books. His lifeblood.

Look at his past. He is all about conquest. Women, money, fame, power. He doesn't earn any of that. He simply takes it, and for some inexplicable reason, nobody stops him.
