Is there a greater pleasure than watching a thundering narcissist stride proudly into his own pit? Texas conservative Nick Catoggio says he can\u2019t wait to find out.<\/p>\n

Read more GOP strategist says Trump has hit the dreaded \u2018Velcro\u2019 phase<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, I\u2019m intrigued to see what happens to an unpopular president\u2019s support when he starts an unpopular war that no one saw coming while struggling to resolve another<\/em> unpopular war he started that no one saw coming,\u201d Catoggio told the Dispatch.<\/p>\n

Having grown bored with the stalemate in Iran, Catoggio said a \u201cfrustrated\u201d Donald Trump allegedly complained to advisers that the plan to squeeze Cuba into submission is going too slow, so he\u2019s decided to speed things up by going \u201cVenezuela\u201d on them. This means indicting the nation\u2019s leader on federal criminal charges as a pretext to kidnapping, positioning U.S. warships near it to intimidate leaders, and then asking Americans \u201cto believe that a banana republic that can\u2019t feed its people is a threat to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Americans hate the idea of invading Cuba, with disapproval registering at a lopsided 64-to-15 in favor. And Americans are still disapproving of Trump\u2019s Iran War at 60 percent \u2013 which happens to be the same disapproval for Trump\u2019s handling of the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m excited,\u201d said Catoggio. \u201cThe Cuba takeover will amount to a novel political experiment to gauge how voters react to a democratic leader all but formally notifying them that their opinion no longer matters to him. Although, now that I think about it, I suppose he\u2019s already given that notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump, he said, appears to have learned nothing from his brush with the tragi-comedy of his \u201cLiberation Day debacle.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while he\u2019s making enemies among American voters, Catoggio said Trump turned Bill Cassidy into a lame duck who no longer owes him anything, then promptly did the same to John Cornyn. (Assuming Cornyn loses next week\u2019s primary runoff in Texas, that is, which is likely.)\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then, with Senate Republicans already seething, he dropped two flaming bags of dog s\u2014\u2014 on their porch, launching a new taxpayer-funded slush fund for his criminal cronies and demanding that lawmakers give him $1 billion for a ballroom while voters are screaming about the cost of living,\u201d said Catoggio.<\/p>\n

Why does Trump do it? Catoggio says he has the answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any mystery to it. Almost the opposite: When, throughout history, have megalomaniacs trusted with immense power not<\/em> eagerly bitten off more than they can chew?\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026 When you regard yourself as the most powerful person to ever live, when you imagine the only obstacle to getting your way is your own restraint in insisting upon it, the idea of being \u2018overextended\u2019 must be unfathomable. You won\u2019t learn your lesson about it because you literally can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
