    I think Trump may have interpreted the silence between the election and the inauguration as acquiescence.

        Part of his problem is he doesn't understand politics/institutions much. As a narcissist, thinks purely in terms of power grab.

        So if he thought it was acquiescence, it was because he didn't understand why anyone would "give him a chance".

        He probably also didn't get that many of his supporters voted 4 him thinking he could somehow pivot or wasn't to be taken literally.

        In fact it was because people were waiting to see if he'd be as bad a president as they feared.

        Now that it's clear the answer is yes, he'll face a bigger fight than he anticipated.

        I think he simply filters out dissenting voices as enemies. I'm not sure it would have made a huge difference.

        being a Russian I am amazed how easily you Americans dump democracy when you think it's not fair to you.
