I’m sure these guys detest Trump as much as anyone else, and probably had to get the leather on this seat replaced after this flight. But he is a tool needed to be used for their evils agenda. BTW, the bag of chips stashed under his seat makes a nice photo bomb.

It's evil because he disavows it yet plans on implementing each and every thing in the plan. He's trying to trick his stupid magats into destroying the USA by turning it into a dictatorship and those who would care are too stupid to realize how they are hurting themselves as well as our county and really the entire world.

He has memory issues, & is no longer as skilled in what it takes to be an effective narcissistic psychopath. BUT he is surrounded by people who would love to use him as a puppet and front man.

Actually, he tells the truth somewhat frequently -- any time he praises dictators and/or pledges to be an authoritarian, for a couple of examples.

But either way, he is clearly not right in the head. He has a big head to say the least (i.e. he is conceited or has an exaggerated sense of his own importance/abilities).

David Duke and white supremacists.

“Just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, OK?” Trump said.

Trump was pressed three times on whether he’d distance himself from the Ku Klux Klan – but never mentioned the group in his answers.

“I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” he said. “So I don’t know. I don’t know – did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.”


https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/28/politics/donald-trump-white-supremacists/index.html

This was after he spoke on the phone with Duke and claimed he had a bad earpiece and couldn't understand what he was saying.

90% of everything that Trump says has always been lies and bullshit. Cognitive decline doesn't affect that, though I guess it can help mask his dementia.

I can't understand why Chump has a problem with Project 2025. He should be proud of it. He really did have nothing to do with writing Project 2025, but when did it stop him from taking credit for other people's work?

"Trump: The Art of the Deal" - Chump didn't write a word of it, but he takes all the credit for it.

"Think Like a Champion: An Informal Education in Business and Life" - he didn't write it and he's probably never read it either.

Etc. etc. including every book on Amazon that lists "Donald J. Trump" as the author... They were all written by paid ghostwriters. Chump takes credit for all of them. So what's his problem with Project 2025?

Cognitive decline is him mumbling.

If they are actually words, it is a lie.

That is how his brain works...words=lies

Nonsense sounds=brain rot from dementia, drugs, etc
