Oh, one whiff of flattery and the chance to take credit for popular policies and he might well go for it.

He hates losers and loves winners, and at the moment the GOP are losers and Democrats are winners.

Remember how fond he is of Mamdani. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of that.

The Heritage foundation might have a time keeping him aligned if his ego goes for popularity.

Tell Talarico. He's already talking about how he's a "secure border democrat" or some such shit.

100% true! Pedo Pinocchio Donny can’t go more than a day without insulting the democrats or anyone who doesn’t agree with him.

Mostly they get the same benefits as the average American: roads, foreign wars, corporate subsidies.

1-Too rough?! That psychopath deported dozens of united state citizens to salvador for their skin color! Majority are still there.

2-His love of the village people and his long and intimate relationship with Roy Cohn (closeted) is why I believe Trump is most probably a gay narcissist who prefers to hide it and marry a playboy model he's unattracted to, to silence rumors, just like kevin spacey until he got outed.

Dementia is a helluva drug

Who is going to reject him? The director of ICE? His boss, whom Trump appointed?

Clearly. The racism in his comments is glaring.

More people need to tell him that. It's not too late for him to change if the one in charge is merciful, but we all know he won't

Turns out that heaven had a pretty tough immigration policy as well

My read is that he's desperate. He's aware of how badly the GOP lost and why, and is worried enough senators will flip that they can convict on impeachment. He's trying to show he's willing to cooperate with dems as long as they don't make him, you know, die in prison in shame. He's had all the power for two years and he's used it like a toddler uses a bowl of crackers, slaming it around and making a mess until he gets what he wants - but now mom's mad and he's realizing that the US isn't nearly as much of a fascist state as he lead his followers to think.

Didn't Melania complain because her friends were getting deported? They never care until it affects them personally.

He has no principles

if by "look more popular" you mean "be less likely to die in prison after an espionage conviction", then yes, I agree with you.
