I am sick unto death of earnest consultants, commentators and pundits gnashing their teeth and struggling mightily to "explain" why Donald John Trump did this or said that!
Listen carefully: Trump is INSANE!
There are no "reasons"!
There is no "plan" or "scheme"!
Remember the only "rationale" this sick sonofabitch has ever offered for his conduct: "It is what it is!"
Occam's Razor, folks! Occam's Razor!

(37,848 posts)We've been seeing it play out for far too long.
The editing of speeches to make Trump sound at least somewhat reasonable.

Trump's supporters made a big effort to try and say he was talking about an experimental treatment that used UV light to disinfect by inserting a light down the throat. But, Trump being an idiot, didn't even have the sense to go along with what his apologists had come up with. He instead told the world that his question during an emergency press conference was just him being "sarcastic". In other words, an insane president talking about injecting disinfects, sarcastically during an informational press conference with a world wide pandemic going on. It all comes back to Trump being insane.

(2,887 posts)I have a brother who's personality is exactly the same- Loud, impulsive, willfully ignorant of issues, unwilling to listen to others. However, my sibling has had head injuries from construction accidents and drug use. Not sure what tRump's excuse is.

(42,770 posts)someone making money. Either a trump or a friend of a trump or someone he is doing a favor for he can get a payback from later.
And the money all points back to his narcissism. More glory, more money, more power, more adoration.
Media needs to only host psychologists.

(69,532 posts)to hear what Mary Trump thinks about all this. But we all knew these last few weeks were going to be hell. He's killing more Americans with Covid. He needs the hook pull him off the stage. He's fired.

(69,532 posts)well, we as in the the USA are in turmoil, and I agree with Mary that our media needs to tell the truth. We have a lot of work to do. Also Putin has continued his revenge on us, through his dangerous puppet.
