Why Trump still smirks and sneers

Given President Trump’s current strikingly low approval rating of 33% and falling, people may wonder why, in his recent speeches and comments, he continues his signature smirking and sneering, even so close to critical mid-terms, seemingly indifferent to most of the electorate’s dislike of his overt nastiness. The explanation may be that the president knows that violence and upheaval of a sort highly threatening to most of humanity will soon distract attention from his policies of social dislocation and environmental ruin, disarming all opposition as people struggle to deal with anything beyond personal survival. Perhaps he's even anticipating something of this sort before the mid-terms. It would certainly help him out.

The ultimate goal of Trump and his cohorts in undermining our existence is to replace our world with a new one. The redrawn world will be AI-bioengineered and dominated by an immensely wealthy class. The rest of humanity will be either politically incapacitated, dead, or re-engineered as worker-bots.

What to do about this situation? I believe we need a new form of political movement-outside the current ineffectual "party" system-that will forcefully voice alternative views on the direction of our evolution. Will this happen, or will we just go silently down the tubes? Time will tell.
