Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
lets entertainin the thought that he did attempt a nuclear launch. would cult45 have stopped worshipping him? [rhetorical question]

It's hard to say, I can see it going either way. If the cult45 in congress and such still didn't condemn Trump that would probably play a big role. And if there was enough dishonest rhetoric to justify it then they would probably buy it and still keep worshipping him for his heroic nuclear attack.
I'm just thinking about if there was tons of footage of hundreds of thousands or millions of people killed it might actually change some people's minds. Even Trumpers are human somewhere under all that crazy. Just trying to be somewhat charitable.
I never would have expected someone like Ann Coulter to turn against Trump. That was crazy. Granted, I think she turned against him for exactly the wrong reasons, heh, basically because he wasn't following through and being "Trump" enough, but still it's surprising.
Trump to Pence: Overturn the Election or "I Don't Want to be Friends Anymore"
Peril also describes the tense encounter in the Oval Office on January 5th when Trump pressured Pence to overturn the results of the election. While the showdown went on inside, the two men could hear MAGA supporters cheering and chanting outside near Pennsylvania Avenue.
"If these people say you had the power, wouldn't you want to," Trump asked.
"I wouldn't want any one person to have that authority," Pence said.
"But wouldn't it be almost cool to have that power?" Trump asked, according to Woodward and Costa.
"No," Pence said. He went on, "I've done everything I could and then some to find a way around this. It's simply not possible."
When Pence did not budge, Trump turned on him. "No, no, no," Trump shouted, according to the authors. "You don't understand, Mike. You can do this. I don't want to be your friend anymore if you don't do this."
Speaking privately to former Vice President Dan Quayle, who oversaw the certification of the 1992 election in which he was on the losing ticket, Pence appeared open to going along with Trump's plan, pushed the false claim that Arizona's voting results were wrong, and asked whether there was any way he could delay certification. Pence told him that Trump was convinced that Pence could throw out the election results in order to keep himself in power.
"Mike, you have no flexibility on this," Quayle told Pence. "None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away."
"I know, that's what I've been trying to tell Trump," Pence said. "But he really thinks he can. And there are other guys in there saying I've got this power." Pence then echoed Trump's false claims of election fraud. "Well, there's some stuff out in Arizona," Pence said.
“Mike, I live in Arizona," Quayle said. "There's nothing out here."
Trump Raged McCarthy "Pretended to be My Best Friend, Then ****ed Me"
Peril also reveals that Trump is still angry with Republicans who blamed him for the insurrection, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. "This guy called me every single day, pretended to be my best friend, and then, he ****ed me. He's not a good guy," Trump said, according to the book.
While McCarthy has walked back his initial comments after the insurrection, Trump is quoted as dismissing McCarthy's attempts to get back into his good graces. "Kevin came down to kiss my ass and wants my help to win the House back," Trump said, according to the authors.
The book ends with Trump allies speculating about his plans for 2024. Privately, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is quoted as saying, "If he wants to run, then he's going to have to deal with his personality problems. We've got a very damaged team captain."
^That is exactly the type of unhinged whinging a babyman like Trump would do and Trumpers voted for this clown not once, but twice and would vote for him a third time. Too funny.
Milley saw how unhinged Trump was throughout his four years and how utterly unhinged Trump became after he lost in Nov, all he did was take steps to make sure that the safeguards were in place in case Trump tried something unhinged as POTUS.
"Many of those who worked in the Trump White House switched allegiance as soon as this was expedient. Do they really need to foist their memories on the public?" -snip
Of course they did, that was predicted back in early 2017. Really shows you the caliber of people Trump attracts.
