It's just so tiring watching people try to reason about the actions of a mad man. Trump has no plan, he is full of hate, and I'm pretty sure he has dementia. He just wants to be in charge, he wants to win (whatever that means), and he wants to punish people.
We are all living in an abusive household with Trump and the Republicans. You don't make plans for the future in an environment like that, you take one day at a time and try not to get smacked around.
