Mary Trump is out in a new article in The Guardian in which she says that the “terrified little boy” Donald Trump would be ready to “burn it all down” if it looks like he’s about to lose the election – which if it were to be held this coming Tuesday, would look to be the case.

This is one of the most terrifying quotes we’ve published on this site because we all sense its truth. Narcissists are like this. If they can’t have it their way, if they can’t win, then no one else is going to win, either:

My theory about the way Donald has run his campaign is that he knows he’s in desperate shape, so he’s going to burn it all down, sow more chaos and division, because that’s where he succeeds. He knows that he’s losing – he’ll deny it mightily – and at some level he understands what’s at stake. If he loses, he’s probably going to prison. So, if he’s going down, he’s going to take us all down with him.

This is the theory haunting Washington already. Look at what he’s done with respect to trusting the vote in Pennsylvania. If the election is close, it will likely come down to a state like Pennsylvania – though, we do have to say, that all the early voting in Texas (record early voting) has us a bit excited that this race is one about turnout, it isn’t that the polls are wrong, it is that the people voting against Trump are the ones coming out, no matter what.

I’ve always believed that deep down Donald is a terrified little boy. The amount of fear he’s feeling now has got to be unhinging him. Not only did he get sick with the virus, there’s the tax story and his prospects in the election looking really bad right now. He’s got to be absolutely panicked.

True, but he’s got access to an entire pharmacy to help with the panic, it’s the energy level that he’s got to keep that’s going to be a problem. There are a lot of theories as to where he gets his energy, and that can lead to panic attacks – which is scary.

We might have underestimated how much getting sick scared him. It might be the only reason that he’s really got some energy now, still using some of the same drugs, but mostly happy to be alive. Soon enough, the real anger will likely return, in the next 2-3 days as he realizes he has one week left and is out of options.

Oh, and the news dominating this coming week? Record COVID numbers. The single last thing Trump wants to talk about going into the election is what will be dominating the news.

And the most haunting statement:

If he stays in the Oval Office, I’m going to try to get a British passport because I don’t think I’ll fare well. He’s an extraordinarily vindictive person surrounded by people who are willing to help him be vindictive. But that’s personal: in terms of the country, if he wins, it’s over. Democracy is over. The western alliance is over. We’ll be entering an incredibly dark period of autocracy on a global scale.

No, not necessarily around the globe. There is an increasingly strong alliance between South Korea, Japan, Canada, France, Germany, among others that will become the new western powers. Not necessarily the military power, but economic power is at least as important.

At least that’s the hope because this author is using his Canadian citizenship and confirming his daughter’s Canadian citizenship to get back to our true north roots. If this election goes south. We go north.

Let’s just all win and stay together.

Peace, y’all
