Yes, he has. His plan is chaos and destruction. In those conditions people are busy fending for themselves and have no resources to keep him in check.

Thus no time to object to the looting of whatever America has left. Trump would give up Hawai'i to the highest bidder - as long as that bidder wasn't native Hawaiians. He gave up our spies to Putin and I got 2billion reasons to think Kushner sold Bonesaws how to make the bomb. He's selling law repeal, they'll be nothing left by 2028. Once the world realizes the looting is over they'll come collecting for the debt owed, and as the dollar collapses completely, this defunding our military (hard to have soldiers if soldiers can't buy food), that means America will go under the knife and lose sovereign territory. Like, the Chinese West Coast, Saudi Texas, Saudis¹q%qiana and Saudoklahoma

I'm sure whoever that is isn't gonna add jet fuel to their water. It's really hard to be worse to Hawaii than the US. Indonesia might manage it if they got any more territory.

He gave up our spies to Putin

OK, but our spies are an objectively bad thing. I honestly don't believe Trump would do something as cool as getting rid of most of the CIA. If he did, he'd get JFK'd.

defunding our military

This is also a good thing, both for americans who don't own Raytheon stock, and the rest of the planet.

Like, the Chinese West Coast

You mean the west coast might actually get high speed rail? Affordable housing?

Quit making pro-trump arguments, we both know he wouldn't follow through.

No need to worry about tariffs on Chinese goods if your currency is so weak nobody can afford them!
