In reply to the discussion: Does anyone else think TFG is trying to lose on purpose? His actions just make no f***ing sense. [View all]Lonestarblue
(13,642 posts)16. The NYT published an article recently in which Maggie Haberman was quoted saying that Trump has no filters now.
She said that he has always had few, if any, inhibitions about saying or doing whatever he wants, but that he formerly could filter his thoughts before saying damaging things. He no longer has any filters. She refused to speculate on why that is the case, but his actions and speeches of late clearly indicate that any filters he ever had are gone. I think the loss of such filters may signal dementia rather than a conscious effort to lose the election.
I think of people who develop Tourette Syndrome who uncontrollably speak foul language. Perhaps whatever Trump has means he has lost any control of his ability to process thoughts before they just come spilling out of his mouth.

OP
I said this same thing to wifey this morning. The ONLY other excuse is that he is so confident of his "stealing" machine

That, or he's confident the election is already rigged for him and he won't lose no matter what he does.

No, his narcissistic personality disorder tells him he has to win. Then there's the little voice telling

I think he believes it is the best way to end his legal troubles but his dementia makes him unaware of his words/actions

Apparently there are other that think that. Personally, I think its a ridiculous idea.

NO. He is undisciplined and just like the emperor with no clothes no one stops him.
