Looking at this blind, so to speak, it sounds more like.. okay now everybody needs to get off the stick, shut up and get behind me so I can win.

Haha, yes, that’s very plausible. I had the weird sensation that “normal, gentle, collaborative Trump” was scarier than mean, angry, vulgar Trump. One expects Cruella DeVille to stay cruel!
