'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.'

(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)

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.
