A crazy person doesn't live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot does.
I know it's fucked up. It's just not as fucked up as I thought it was.
It's considerably more chilling to think that someone who is in control of how he presents himself is manipulating the country to such evil ends, than it is to think we have a bufoon who will disappear in three years.

(24,438 posts)I read what he said about his meeting and its terrifying how he normalizes insanity.
He basically is saying Trump is this amazing cordial smart and funny guy in real life, but his personna publicly is just part of his grand plan.
So dangerous. Were falling into all out fascism now.

(5,837 posts)Not merely an eccentric nut but using crazy talk purposefully to threaten those not in line while entertaining the cult and throwing people off the extent and seriousness of his bad intentions. As a malignant narcissist he thrives on playing high stakes games and presenting an alternate reality but what's so scary is his power to actually change reality benefiting him while causing misery and ruined lives for so many others.
