I've seen Internet speculation that the so-called president's reaction to his Muslim ban being blocked by federal judges may be more than the usual temper tantrum pitched by a spoiled brat who isn't getting his way. By warning that the judges will be personally responsible for the next terrorist attack, Fatso could be setting the stage for a phony terrorist event -- something to turn the public against the judicial system, and increase support for his authoritarian agenda.
Normally, I'd immediately laugh at this kind of speculation as a ridiculous conspiracy theory or something out of The Onion. Now, after what we've seen so far, it doesn't seem so implausible. After all, stuff like that has worked before (Germany in the 1930's), and the guy thinks everything is one big reality TV show with him as its star.
It's sad (and scary) when I have to pause and say, "Well, anything's possible now."
