I don’t think it has anything to do with thinking it will end soon. He has zero ability restrain himself. Take the Jerome Powell thing; in May his term ends no matter what and Trump can appoint whoever he likes, legally. And yet, he is going out of his way to frame him for fraud so that he can remove him NOW. The simple function of him being told no obsesses to the point of mania. He fails the ‘marshmallow test’ in spectacular fashion, and this is just another example of it.

He is a monster unrestrained in all aspects.
