Play with fire, get burned; Trump is making that clear when it comes to Mitch McConnell

It would be inaccurate to maintain that former President Donald J. Trump has finally gone off the rails — the Orange Menace was already and has for a long time been a psychological train wreck.

But his most recent fascination, babbled ad infinitum over a series of emails dispensed to his followers, firmly establishes that the man 77 million people thought should be returned to the most powerful and influential position in the world is demented and should be found nowhere other than a convalescent home.

Over the past week, Trump has rabidly attacked his one-time ally, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Louisville, in a series of missives that increasingly show him drowning in the deepest part of the deep end. He has displayed great delight in calling McConnell a “broken old crow” while accusing him of a barrel-load of sins both real and imagined.

Consider this snarling indictment, entered Nov. 17, that attacks McConnell for voting to extend the debt limit and supporting the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that, McConnell has said, would be “a godsend to Kentucky.” It reads in part:

This is the Broken Old Crow’s fault. He could have won it all using the Debt Ceiling — they were ready to fold. Now the Democrats have a big victory and the wind at their back. McConnell is a fool and he damn well better stop their “Dream of Communism Bill” and keep his Senators in line, or he should resign now, something he should have done a long time ago. Use the Debt Ceiling like it should have been used, you Old Broken Crow, to do so would hurt our Country far less than this horrible Bill. Any Republican in the House or Senate who votes for this Bill will never ever get a Trump Endorsement. Thank you, and good luck!

debt ceiling says the man who gave trillions in tax welfare breaks to billionaires and nearly crashed our economy with his handling of the Covid pandemic. I'm hoping Mango Mussolini slowly slips into the abyss and becomes an insignificant NY realtor who's daddy gave him all his money like he was from the start

... but he's smart. Cagey might be the better word.

Trump is evil and stupid. He's ruthless and has an animalistic survival skill-set that is reactive and brutal, but he is incapable of planning or strategizing, as they both require the capability for abstract thought and an understanding of nuance. He has neither.

so that he can rush in to save the day, because only he can fix it. Say what you will about McConnell (and there's a lot to say), he's not a complete idiot. He has great self-discipline and doesn't give a hoot about what Trump says about him.

He would then claim he's the only one who can fix it because he's a delusional narcissistic POS. He's capable of fixing nothing.

Just wanted to clarify your analysis a little bit.
