Because his son in law and Bibi told trump Iran is going to nuke him, so that’s what he’s scared of short term.

If he was scared most in the short term by the masses rising up and overthrowing the oligarch class due to unsurvivable wealth inequality…

He’d fucking care about our financial situations more than anything else.

He’s a demented old asshole, he can only be afraid of one thing at a time. It’s not hard to manipulate someone like that, just gotta give them something to be afraid of, lots of people do it to trump every day already.
