If there is one thing that we’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that everything that Donald Trump does is driven by what he determines is best for him. Whether it is to enrich himself through scammy business enterprises, or to increase his power through authoritarian practices. He is laser focused on advancing his own interests at the expense of everyone else.

The evidence of Trump’s selfishness and greed is apparent in his constant grifting from the White House. He peddles everything from hats (made in China), to crypto-coins, to Trump Bibles (also made in China), and so much more. A good deal of his profiteering is managed by the company he set up to serve as his propaganda platform.

On Tuesday Trump disclosed that he would be making a special announcement from the White House. It was so important that he arrived nearly an hour late. When he finally showed up he revealed that he had made the decision to move the Space Force headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, Which is a ridiculous idea. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for no discernible gain. NORAD is already based in Colorado. While Alabama is in the middle of the nation’s hurricane zone. However, Trump did eventually get around to offering his reason for the move saying that…
“The problem I have with Colorado – they do mail-in voting. They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections. And we can’t have that. When the state is for mail-in voting that means they want dishonest elections, because that’s what that means. So that played a big factor also.”
Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: "The problem I have with Colorado — they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."
Of course, Trump has had a longstanding aversion to mail-in voting. Mainly because any procedure that makes it easier for people to participate in democracy is anathema to him and the Republican Party. He recently decreed via a preposterous and unlawful executive order that he is abolishing mail-in voting.

For the record, eight states and Washington, D.C., allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state. Twenty-eight states offer “no-excuse” absentee voting, which means that any voter can request and cast an absentee/mail ballot for any reason.
So are we to assume that Trump will now discriminate against all of those states when it comes to any benefits that the federal government can dispense? That would be consistent with how Trump always seeks to punish or get revenge against anyone that he perceives as insufficiently worshipful. It is consistent with totalitarian dictatorships. But it is wholly inappropriate for a democratic leader.
In his remarks Trump also referred to several major American cities as “hellholes,” lied about tariff revenues, smeared some his political foes, exalted himself, and regurgitated several of his favorite scripted fallacies. But his admission to why he is moving the Space Force command is a particularly brazen and despicable example of his narcissistic corruption. And unless Democrats muster the courage to defy him, it won’t be the last.
