37. Also crazy is not corrupt

Crazy is an interesting pejorative, and it shows Trump''s age. When he was young, asylums were still a known memory, though many had been closed by then. To be called crazy was saying that a person should be commited. When Reagan defunded mental health, one unexpected side effect was that psychiatric hospitals that had doubled as convenient private prisons, also went away.

Today "crazy" has a different connotation it means cunning, unpredictable, devious or even awe-inspiring, with a considerably more positive interpretation. It is also a sign of how much he fears Pelosi.
