   “He may never attack Musk and Putin….”

   I note that “may” implies “may not”, so “may never” implies "may (not “will” or “must”) at some time.

   “Which one are you talking about? That applies to all three of them.”

   While I agree with your evaluations of Trump, Musk, and Putin, I was replying to a thread of comments that specifically targeted Trump.

   “First, read up on “about.” Second, perhaps in Scandinavia they are 1.5x but in the US they are less than 10% different. USD 1.00 = 11.138 NOK = 10.649 SEK”

   I suggest that you learn the difference between Norway (with their NOK) and Denmark (with their DKK).

   “…it may just be ME who struggles to understand how a material system can think at all much less abstractly.”

   Are you suggesting that nothing should be able to exist unless you personally understand all the details of how it exists/functions?

   “But he’s still steenky?”

   Nope. I also know Steen, and aside from both being men, he and Art are quite different from each other.

   (Irrelevant side note: Steen & Stoffer is the Danish “translation” of Calvin & Hobbes.)

   “He won Harris lost so get over it.”

   Get over what? Unlike Trump himself, I’m not denying that the individual who got the most electoral votes and was sworn in is indeed the President. (I do, however, deny that he has any valid claim to being “king” or “dictator”.

   But I do object to people lying about the details, just to brag that Trump accomplished more than he actually did. And I do wonder why, if he is so great, he and his supporters feel a need to exaggerate that “greatness”.

   “He may never attack Musk and Putin. Either they have something on him, or he expects them to make him rich beyond his wildest dreams.”

   It sounds like you’re unable to grasp the possibility that someone with full-scale delusions can make irrational — even “obviously” self-destructive — decisions.

   “You’re not a baby boomer are you?”

   Nope. Adult fireworks.
