He seeks domination. That's all. He does not care about, or even seem cognizant of, lying, reversing himself, switching loyalties, etc
Most likely explanation re: Russia is not some deep, secret plot, but ... DT saying yes to something that felt good in the moment ...
and then immediately forgetting about it, connecting it to nothing else. Thus the confusion why everyone keeps bringing it up.
Most likely explanation re: Comey is not some Machiavellian tactic, but ... he kept seeing Comey on TV saying not-awesome things ...
and that gave him bad feels, made him feel non-dominant. So he made Comey get off his TV. No "mind," just stimulus-response.
As difficult as it is, journalists, analysts, & other political actors need to internalize this. Evil can be predicted, bargained w/ ...
... but there's no predicting or reasoning w/ pure animal impulse. [trying to figure out what's in his mind] is useless. Only containment or removal will work.
Read the whole thing. It explains a lot to me about how today could have happened: fires Comey who is investigating Russia ties, invites Russians to WH (usually only heads of state get that treatment) and sits down with Kissinger in same room he and Nixon used before his resignation.
