He can’t fathom a world where he just does something that would be good for people and hope that they notice. He could have done tons of infrastructure and other policies and plastered his name on them, but he didn’t. Where’s the domination in that? 000
A Paperwhite Mask of Evil @blakeabbott.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It’s also why he has no good answer to, “why not just give that money now?” He could just give it and get some good press, but he won’t because he HAS to be empowered to make or threaten harm.

A Paperwhite Mask of Evil @blakeabbott.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You might be thinking, “bribing the American people to vote for him isn’t one of those two.” Keep in mind that this “offer” is conditional.

A Paperwhite Mask of Evil @blakeabbott.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I think this is a potentially useful rhetorical framing. Some have tried “everything Trump touches dies,” but the idea that he’s a vibe killer takes that a notch further and helps to make him and his followers pariahs. 010
