If Trump loses control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, do you think he might go into “scorched earth” mode, turning against even his own political base and blaming his supporters for abandoning him?
Could it reach a point where he acts against the very people who stood by him, in a way reminiscent of Hitler’s final actions during the collapse of Nazi Germany, when he showed little regard for the German people suffering the consequences of the war? Or is that comparison too extreme, and would Trump be more likely to focus on blaming political opponents and trying to retain his influence?
