He's just getting more demented. He's a narcoleptic, psychopathic, ignorant moron on the decline.
The only question is how much damage is America willing to tolerate while he spirals downward.

Since the definition of "treason" is the betrayal of a state, is Trump trying to say criticism of him is the same as betraying the country?
He really has become an absolute ruler who thinks he is synonymous with the state.
Like Hitler used to say, an insult to him was an attack on the state.

Even an attempt on Hitler's life, like the attempt on Trump, that gains him public sympathy.
Final solution at this point just deportation, like what ICE is doing now.
