    Trump almost seems like the type that would flip his principles in a heartbeat if he personally felt that he’d look more popular because of it. Given their whole shtick fell so hard now in 2026 I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts trying to spin being “for” some more popular issues.

    Although he cares about personal enrichment over perceived popularity as well. So who knows what happens next.

      if by “look more popular” you mean “be less likely to die in prison after an espionage conviction”, then yes, I agree with you.

        Personally I could see him passing Medicare for all of a single payer system if his ego was stroked right. Fun fact I hate egotism so much this is legit a borderline foreign concept to me, the only reason I know its possible is because he is so egotistical that I legit can’t assume any other reasoning besides avarice and greed.

        I mean realistically it’s pretty likely anything longer than a three year sentence would have him die in prison.

        I have some doubts that he even considers a possibility of investigations leading to any convictions for him. His ego wouldn’t allow him to worry about that I feel.
