I was watching CNN and they were discussing the latest Trump tweet, statement, whatever. They mused that Trump gets off on this stuff. Rush says the same thing. He says some crazy shit, and then sits back and watches cable TV and gets his jollies. He loves the attention, everybody listening to him. He does not care anything about running the country. He is just the reality star he was before, only bigger, stronger, and a bigger pain in the ass. He does not know or care his words as President carry weight, to him it is all a show. Of course he has a severe personality disorder. I don't know what the end game is here. Trump leaves office, is voted out, removed, or we all go up in flames, scavenging around for food and water in a post nuclear apocalypse. The odds are pretty even all around.

I told my teenager what he was doing and then replayed it. The next day they had an open discussion on something in history. He came home and said "I pulled a trump" He said something that got the whole class going back and forth and sat back and watched. "It is too easy"

(13,390 posts)It's a twisted capriciousness. If you stop and think, that what entertainment media is all about. The goal is to manipulate the emotions an audience... typically only for a short time. For a guy who is obsessed with power, his foray into an entertainment medium should not have been surprising. That he was able to take to the world stage as the most powerful man in the world says a lot about our cultural values when it comes to media consumption.
