A total disaster. A rambling mess of a performance that stunk of self-pity, racism, and demoralized depression.
What we need to remember though is that Trump only dives deeper into fascism the more he loses. Tonight was only a preview of that.
This is a really dangerous situation.
But the more he realizes he can lose, that he might be humiliated, that he might be prosecuted, he’s going to get desperate and embrace total fascism.
It’s who he is. It’s what authoritarians do. They do not leave easily.
