Paul Krugman, Substack.
All indications are that Republicans are headed for massive defeat in election... So what will he do when Americans show what they really think of him?
...
He will, of course, claim that the election was rigged and try to overturn the results.
... trying to punish Ukraine for daring to deny victory to his friend Vladimir Putin
... suddenly cut down hundreds of trees at a public golf course in Washington
... the Kennedy Center, a national icon that Trump is destroying because he can’t put his own name on it, as the model for what is all too likely to happen to America over the next two years.
...
But one thing Democrats can do is make it clear that everyone who aids and abets Trump in his Neroism can and will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
