Trump doesn't care [View all]
There's a ton of posts (and some of mine) that point out the failures that have happened while trump was/is the president.
My viewpoint has been that he is doing this on purpose.
He is not as demented as many say - this gives him a mental health excuse - but he doesn't care.
He is not a failed human or a failed businessman or a failed leader. He is living his life as he wants to -- and as supported and prodded by handlers.
He doesn't like NYC or DC or the USA or democracy or society at large. He doesn't care.
He may hate some people and groups because they have dissed him. He does care about grudges.
He does love money and power and trappings. Rich/powerful people from around the US and the world have found out that simple gifts (big gifts!) are adequate to have him change his mind ---- and not feel any cognitive dissonance (what's that?)
He may actually have a goal of wrecking the economy and society of the US and other nations. This certainly seems to be the trajectory and I doubt it is a "random walk." Nudges work very well on him and the RW/russian influencers are very good at those.
But headlines screaming how trump did something insane, again, are missing the point. His actions are intentional, if opposite to what we consider sanity.
