He is an agent of chaos, driven by greed.
I thought his name was Vladimir.
Nothing he says or does makes any sense and he has millions of enablers.
Everything he does makes sense if he’s a Russian asset intent on destroying the US.
Nah he’s a cunt
Calling him insane absolves him of responsibility. He’s a narcissistic, cruel, racist, sexist, abuser, and bully, to name a few. Everything he’s doing, he’s doing simply because he can, because he’s greedy and uncaring, and because people were mean to him or weren’t obsequious enough to him.
Came here to say this. He’s totally sane, that’s part of the fucking problem. He’s just a monster and yet he’s worshipped by so many. Working for him must be horrible even at distance.
He’s also a traitor.
Insane? I don’t think so. I’d call him a dangerously self-centered narcissist. (The redundancy is intentional to stress the extreme amplitude of his self-serving attitude and behaviors)
Nah he’s a Russian agent. Ask what a Russian agent who became president would do differently then what he’s done so far this time around. He got the get out of jail free card from scotus… Now it’s a free for all to see how much damage he can do
btw trump doesn’t come up with these ideas himself; he has thinktanks and conservative thought leaders giving him ideas and suggestions.
Doesn’t take a genus to figure a method or motivation for that matter.
WWPW: what would putin want.
That simple. Burn the country down and sell the ashes. Burn bridge’s with old allies while forging alliance’s with our old enemies. Solidify fascistic oligarchy at all costs, retain power.
25th Amendment, babe.
If we stop thinking about what what he is doing from a “he thinks this good for the country” viewpoint and start thinking about it from a “he thinks this is good for Donald Trump” viewpoint it all makes sense.
My particular flavor of that is he realizes he was going to prison or worse based on all the legal proceedings against him. The only way to prevent that was to become president and redirect the DOJ. He was desperate.
Now, his goal is to remain president because if he loses office, he’ll be prosecuted again, at least at the state level where he can’t self-pardon. Therefore he will do literally anything to remain in the presidency until he dies. I think that’s his plan and nothing else really matters to him.
What follows from that is he needs enough people around him to support the plan until he can disarm any part of the government that would remove him from office. He’s willing to do anything Musk wants because Musk demonstrated that Musk will dump a practically unlimited amount of money into any political race as needed, and Trump needs that to hold Congressional seats and eventually governorships and state legislatures.
The rest of it is Trump playing out his vindictive nature, the side effect being the fewer people in government, the more likely they’re able to maintain control, perhaps by suspended elections, martial law, etc.
There’s going to be plenty of unemployed people in DC with time on their hands. We’ll see if that turns into a situation like the Bonus Army.
It isn’t even that. He is just going senile and is surrounded by a bunch opportunists and basically just repeats whatever the last person said to him. The increasing simple (it was Always simple but seems to be getting worse) language he uses sounds like someone with dementia if you have ever encountered someone with it.
He reminds me of my great-great-aunt when she was towards the end. I wonder when he’ll fall off his bed and start flat lining?
Fuck off with this shit! Trump isn’t insane; he’s dangerous and we will lose and die if we keep underestimating him!
It’s possible to be insane and also very dangerous. Consider Stalin or Hitler.
Being insane and dangerous aren’t mutually exclusive.
The complete absence of accountability and the power he has makes his insanity more dangerous, not less.
He’s doing exactly what Putin wants.
And Putin wants chaos in the West.
Now we all get to play the fun game called “dementia Donny” and have every day be a unpredictable mess.
I can’t read the article. I’m sure Trump has mental issues, but he’s got an entire cabinet, other advisors, and a shadow president behind him. There are reasons behind what they’re doing.
