1/ Trump doesn't care about legacy, family, or duty. He sure as fuck doesn't care about the law, or even money (he knows the illusion of money is just as good).
Trump only cares about himself, and his only motivation is power. An illegitimate "win" is a win to him.

2/ Imagine Trump playing a video game.
He'd try for 30 seconds, get destroyed, and quickly resort to cheat codes to get by.
After celebrating his ill-gotten victory, he'd quickly realize that he's empty inside. There would be no sense of accomplishment.

3/ From here it could go in two directions. He gets bored of the game and does something else, or he plays again.
Because he has no interest in developing any skills, he would continue to cheat using more elaborate codes.
He'll never be satisfied, so he'll continue to escalate.

4/ Games aren't designed to be played this way. If you keep piling on cheat codes the systems stop working how they're supposed to.
If you keep at it, the game becomes almost unplayable.
The issue is, Trump treats the Presidency and government this way.

5/ Trump has trapped himself in a nightmare. He's stuck playing a glitched out game he hates. He knows if he stops, he'll go to prison.
He's miserable as President, truly hates it, but he's cheating to stay in power out of necessity. He doesn't care what breaks in the process.

6/ The worst part of all this is that he hasn't exausted all of his options. He's done the Konami Code until now but hasn't tried the GameShark yet.
If you thought things were broken before, just wait until you see the damage a GameShark can do in reckless and impulsive hands.

7/ Yes, the President has a GameShark he can use to hack the code of government in extraordinary ways.
They're called PEADs, and can be invoked in emergencies to do things the Constitution doesn't permit like detain people not suspected of any crimes.

8/ These powers aren't only extensive, they're secret. They don't even get reviewed by Congress or the Gang of Eight.
"The reason these documents are secret is, for 11 administrations, people in power did not want to frighten the American people"

9/ Trump is running out of options. Do you really think he won't even try to use these powers?
He's incapable of restraint and only needs the perception of an emergency to move forward.
This is the kind of situation false flag attacks are designed to exploit.

10/ Putin used this tactic in 1999, and tensions with Iran have already been ratcheting up.
Trump is also calling for throngs of violent supporters to descend upon DC Jan 6.
There are many ways to invoke an emergency declaration that day.

11/ We don't know the extent of the secret powers, but we know who we're dealing with.
@MaryLTrump put it right on the cover. For this man, it's never enough.
There's nothing he isn't capable of if it's in his self interest. He has no capacity for restraint.
