'This is a stupid man. This is not a man making detailed sophisticated calculations. From everything I know, and I don't know him personally but I know a lot of people who do know him personally, I do know a lot of people who interact with him, this is an old man, impetuous, impulsive, not knowledgeable, easily swayed, and unable to pay attention to briefings. Unable to study a problem. So in weighing things, I don't think we're actually seeing a rational calculator making difficult complex calculations. I think we are seeing an impulsive old man who is way out of his depths, surrounded by the least competent group that I have ever seen in American politics, and that's saying a lot.'

(12,531 posts)There's a deep darkness in Trump, a grievance that can never be assuaged. His mental and physical decline is obvious and despite all his chest thumping and bellicose rantings, he knows he's an old man, weaker than he ever was, decaying despite the makeup, the shoe lifts, the preposterous hair. He's also a man filled with anger, uncontrollable rage against anyone who doesn't do his bidding, against all those he believes are beneath him.
Which I think encompasses the entire human race.
No, he will not go quiet into that good night, not without trying to take everyone with him. It's the final, spectacular revenge.
God help us all!

(9,604 posts)The fact that we are used to it does not make it less of a crisis. The breathless media reporting of possible options and rationales for Trump's actions sustains an alternate, fictional version of reality in which reasonable debate precedes action in the white house. Trump's malevolent reign is an indictment of an American culture that allowed it to happen.

It only increases over time.
I fully expect him to drop the big one, and it's still not over.
Unless he's stopped before he does it. (by peaceful means, hopefully)
(4) there are some hilarious analogies. Maybe on April 1sr.

My mother was sharp as a tack and rational and a good Democrat at 91 years.
What she WASN'T, was a PSYCHOPATH.
THAT IS TRUMP'S DEFINING TRAIT, NOT OLD AGE OR KNOWLEDGE DEFICIENCY.
