Is Trump's Fate Going to Play Out Like the Sopranos? - Thom Hartmann

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump has seemed so larger-than-life to so many Americans for so long that it’s almost impossible to not think of him as a perpetual, ongoing threat.

And, indeed, he has already tried to mount one coup against our nation which was largely ignored by our Attorney General for two long years, setting up the virtual certainty of a second attempt this fall should he lose by a small margin.

That, however, is not what current trends, an innovation in political science, and world history tell us will most likely happen over the next four months.

In my opinion, we’re going to see Trump deflate like the Hindenburg if he suffers a major defeat. Here’s why and how. - Aired on 09/20/2024.

1. He and his buddy already have to hide behind salad bar spit shields. It can only get worse. n/t

2. Just look at how many people he has pissed off. He makes himself a target

3. Jimmy Hoffa

I would prefer a Jimmy Hoffa type scenario just think of all the fun we could have!

4. "Screw the polls. They're gibberish. Look at the betting markets."

(Paraphrasing from the link). But as Harman explains, in the betting markets, real money is being laid down. It favors Harris.

BETTING MARKETS!!!

I expect Trump, when he loses, to flee to one of the GCC countries (no extradition treaty). The weather is better than Russia. And he can buy anything he wants. Anything.

On edit: Thanks for sharing, Rhiannon12866. Betting markets are often overlooked in politics. In sports, however, they're everything, and I always find them to be quite accurate.

6. That final scene was memorable.
