4. True. And it's more "HE JUST DOESN'T CARE" than "HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND."

His pathology has an interesting "wall switch."

When he encounters something that contradicts his self-image...such as his statement at the McDonald's meeting where he said "You don't know how lucky you are that I was re-elected"...it's not that he doesn't UNDERSTAND the contrary opinion. It's that he REJECTS it outright, and just flips that wall switch to the "off" position..."They're stupid because I just told them they are lucky to have me and they're complaining about eggs again, which can only mean one thing, and that it's they are stupid."

The tariffs raised prices for all Americans, and Trump bragged about "how much cash he took in."

So SOMEONE...who the hell knows WHO...actually got THROUGH to him, and said people are sick of paying $25 for a can of Maxwell House Coffee, so he said "OK, I'm gonna lower the tariffs that raised the price of coffee without admitting that my tariffs raised prices."

It's like trying to reason with a toddler. There is no "reasoning." It's just a room full of smiling sycophants nodding and thanking Trump for his "bold and decisive leadership" as he writes his name on the White House walls using his own poop...."Donny ROCKS."
