    in the 10 minutes of the Rogan interview I could stomach he talked about how surreal it all was, how it was a joke, he didn’t want to be a politician, and he didn’t expect to win.

    He was expecting it this time and he knows what he can get away with.

      I don’t know how anyone could be impressed by that interview. It was 3 hours of a narcissist saying how great he is.

        While Joe was interrupting him he almost sounded coherent. as soon as he let him go I honestly thought I’d had a stroke.

        If you made it through 3 hours of that you might want to get yourself checked out.

      It could be that simple. He didn’t realize the potential the first time around and so many things got in the way, including a disaster that tried to force a leadership role on him. This time enough was changed and built up to prevent the obstacles, and he not only can avoid justice for his past, but he can, in his own words, “do anything and they’ll let you.”

        When you’re a demagogue, they let you do it. I just grab the country by the pussy, I don’t wait.
