We all know by now he has a HUGE ego. Maybe he is trying to direct all the bullets at himself and off the people when the left goes on a future rampage. So far he has absorbed a HUGE amount of their rage. All kidding aside, He just has a habit of speaking off the cuff and making grandioso statements. Without that kind of thinking he would have never dared think he could take on the deep state, and the career criminals in DC.
