Thursday

Trump has a pattern of behavior; once he has an obsession, no amount of reasoning will change his mind.

Calling him TACO (Trump always Chickens Out), may make things worse.
Authoritarians do not like being the butt of jokes.

He is not a rational person.

There is a historical lesson.

In the 1980s, he owned the USFL New Jersey Generals.
The league had moderate success and future hall of famers like Reggie White.
But Trump's narcissism killed the league.
He and some of the other owners voted to move their schedule to the Fall compete directly against the NFL.
Some think that they were trying to force a merger between the NFL and USFL.
The league shutdown a few years after this move.
