I keep coming back to "all this for literally Donald Trump," but it fits. There's not some more competent aspiring autocrat who'd somehow "earn" or "win" this. This is how it has always gone: feckless/evil elites attaching themselves to the sociopath they believe will get them where they want to go.
It’s always been so funny (not Hah Hah) that Captain Manhattan is the lodestar and everyone here hates him
so much he gave up on the only place he wants to be King of. He got the scepter and can’t wave it around PJ Clarke’s (b/c Elaine died), which is still what he truly desires.
America!
