3. He's staying his course because he can AND

Donald John is staying his course of action because he can and because the Cowards’ Caucus (aka most Republicans in the House and Senate) won’t lift a finger to stop him. If the complacent and the spiteful had gone to the polls to vote Democratic instead of staying home, a Democratic-controlled House or Senate might have stopped at least some of his policies. They didn’t and, along with the Trump voters, they get to hurt with those of us who knew better.

Moreover, Donald John is a man of vanity. Whatever his current cognitive abilities, he KNOWS that the effects of his policies will linger years, decades and perhaps even centuries after he leaves the White House for the last time either standing up or in an ambulance. And unlike the lazy-@$$ voters who sat out 2024, he knows it, even if they don’t.
