17. Trump is neither "out of his mind" nor is he calculating...

Trump is a man who understands spectacle. That is the one talent that he has. He is a con artist. His skill has always been in being able to manipulate and shape perspective, especially among the gullible. Trump is not a planner. He has little to no skill at long term planning. He is lead by his emotions, most notably anger and fear. He is reactive.

Trump was taught both by his father and by Roy Cohn to "always fight back" and "always deny" and "never apologize or admit mistakes". Trump is driven by his desire to be seen as "the best" and his existential fear of being seen as a failure.

He is not out of control but he is definitely declining both cognitively and emotionally. If the pressure continues for him, there is a good change we will see his body or his mind give out.
