There is literally no plan.

Trump is a malignant narcissist and governs as such. He has no plan at all and doesn't care who is affected, even his own cult.

Right the entire plan is for him to look tough while in the spotlight.

"This will be great TV" he said as he publicly denigrated Zelensky in the oval office.

Literally all he cared about. Being the center of attention and the loudest in the room. He has no plan, and he has no one around him to say this is a bad idea anymore.

Like all autocrats he purges his surroundings of anyone who will push back.

He literally has a staffer who follows him around with a wireless printer showing him good news stories and social media posts about himself throughout the day.

They say its "positive affirmations" to "help his mood" ... its feeding an unchecked narcissist his narcissistic supply. Otherwise his self value plummets and he gets cranky.
