I think he has been given bad news about his health?

Meanwhile Jared and Ivanka running to Gaza to make a huge money
deal taking over Gaza beachfront property.

Are they winding up their latest scam as fast as possible?

He is now obsessed by his legacy. It's almost as if he is focused on fascist architecture and elusive Peace Prizes more than the economy. He is again being careless about the latter with open market posts and 100% add-on tariff taxes. He is thinking he is driving a hard bargain but the Chinese have some experience negotiating and some history enduring pain and stress.

I wonder if the full-court press he put on for the Prize indicates a timing issue, an impending horizon. Perhaps he wanted the 2025 Prize so badly because he may not be eligible for the 2026 as measured by body temperature?

But for once he's right - if such a place or state of being exists, he sure as Hell (pardon the reference) isn't going to end up there.

and sincerely repent. I don't see Trump ever either acknowledging he'd done anything wrong or feeling sorry about it. Speculating about his final destination is about as far as he'll ever get.

That's the first time I remember him being honest. I need to go get that bottle of wine for the occasion.

Yo Donald, if I were in the E-FILES like you I’d doubt my chances as well. Having late night thoughts of perversity and adverse effects thereof?

The horror. The horror.
It's no wonder he snuggles up to the tech titans and hopes for existence in the confines of a computer, with nothing but his own thoughts. We offered him something similar - a life in prison, but the Republicans sycophants spoiled those plans.

He wants to hear leaders and people he considers important publicly talking about what a double plus good man he is, how he’s the most powerful golfer ever and how GOD himself will hang that Nobel Prize around Trump’s neck. He’ll build the best Heaven sky projects and live in the tallest Heaven tower with the best marble. What a nut job.

He's hearing that voice except it's saying DONALD J. TRUMP!

Only, I don't think he'll finally repent like old Scrooge did.

He's gonna have to get down on his knees and start begging all the people he screwed to forgive him. And he has to mean it.

Then he's got a lot of work to do.

Confess your sins!
Restore Democracy!
Return the money to the people you harmed!
Settle with your victims.
Pardon yourself then flee to an empty island with Walt for the remainder.

If you did all that, I'd be okay with the pardon.
