Trump views himself as the Boss. He seems oblivious to the reality that he is anything but. For example, Trump was met with laughter at NATO when he declared that the boss was here.

In his declining mental state, Trump seems to have confused real life with his fake character on The Apprentice.

Trump threatened election workers during his lie-filled Thursday night speech on elections, and his Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin doubled down on those threats while speaking to reporters on Friday.

Mullin said, “If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections, chose not to, then those individuals can also be held accountable by fines, by penalties and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time.”

The intent was to intimidate election workers, but instead the people who oversee and administer the nation’s elections have fought back, won in court, and are laughing at this president.
