RE: Trump’s deals and driving motivation

It's 2026 and I still see people posting about Trump's deals with other authoritarians like they're evidence that he doesn't know what he's doing because those deals hurt Americans.

Fam, put that thinking to rest.

Trump has no people, not even blood kin. He's a megalomaniacal narcisist who would absolutely eat his youngest son's heart if Grok told him that doing so would make him young and verile again.

Every deal he makes is about enriching and empowering himself. All the better if those deals destablize the rest of the world and actively crush others.

That's the plan.

I feel like pop culture did not prepare me
For this flavor of authoritarian we’re facing
You know: the bad guys were always sinister and calculating
And not tuned into fox news for eight hours daily
it’s like if sauron had dropped the one ring
Into his oreo mcflurry and then accidentally ate it
Or if darth vader were constantly callin’ people haters
And then slicin’ his own fingers off with his lightsaber
...or if voldemort made all of his horcruxes
enormous golden statues of himself
Demonstrating krav maga moves he learned on the internet
If this there were a YA dystopia the editor would interject:
it doesn’t make any sense, but there you have it
A bumbling shithead fascist, is still a fascist
And the smallest act of resistance, when the emperor is naked
is to say it, and say it, and say it

— Guante & Big Cats, "Bumbling Shithead Fascist"

Occurs to me that I should add one more motivation to Trump's decisions:

Cruelty.

He's an odious little man, and odious little men and women the world over get their kicks from being fucking awful to other people.
