That’s called “getting the last word,” a very satisfying practice of the childish.

Just to clarify my comment, Ken: when I said it was par for the course, I was not referring to the behaviour we might normally expect to see in politics, but behaviour that is part and parcel of the power plays of narcissistic abusers.

No what Trump is doing is far beyond “par for the course”. Which is why the term “gas-lighting” keeps being used.

Apparently, his advisors got through to him about what would happen if the Dems take control of Congress (and the Senate), hence he stopped attacking Republicans he didn’t like and started stumping. And if more republicans had used that to push back against Trump sooner, I would’t be hoping for a massive “blue wave” to happen today. However, I am, because the republicans in congress haven’t done their job to keep Trump in check.

He prefers history that he makes up as he goes along. And, he likes holding the power of life and death in his hands. We should never forget that he is a sadistic bully.
