Crazy Like a Fox?

 Okay, so after months of avoiding any contact with the COVID relief efforts in Congress, now that they've passed--by a veto-proof majority--a minimal package that includes the necessary legislation to keep the government running for another few weeks, Trump decides it's not what he wanted (not that he told anyone what he wanted until now) and suggests he won't sign it.

Has this been his plan all along? To (1) blame Congress for not doing enough; and (2) hand Biden a government shut-down on January 20? "If I can't run the country, nobody gets to do it. Nyah-nyah, let's see you solve this one, wise guy!" And as for the prospect of a continued Republican majority in the Senate? "You're on your own, Mitch! I won't be here so I don't give a damn!"

Hasn't this been his pattern throughout his business career? Run a company into the ground, then declare bankruptcy or sell out to some poor sucker who doesn't realize how bad it really is, and leave it to others to suffer the consequences?

Is this just his biggest bankruptcy and abandonment?
