In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump knows he's in serious trouble [View all]H2O Man
(79,318 posts)While it is certainly true that he has been an asshole who has splatter the internet with insults and threats, it is possible to view this as similar to the past ..... but I think it shows something important. While many sociopaths are seemingly immune to stress, there is a level of threat to their well-being where they freak out. Might be for fifteen minutes, might be fifteen days or weeks.
The fella in the White House has had periods like this. It increases the internet splattering, pointing the finger of blame outward, threats, and even having someone fired from his administrations. We've seen this. However, it is important to recognize that he has not lived a particularly healthy life style since he first announced he was running in 2015. Organicly speaking, human bodies tend to experience declines at his age, even among once-strong men. And this fella has never been a strong man.
Thus, in many ways this is just more of the same shit-splattering. But it is important to recognize the inevitable decline of his body from head to toe, and the clear distinctions between his first-term, confident splatterings, and his second-term rants as the war in Iran and its global consequences having him feeling trapped and paranoid. The reduced capacity we are witnessing actually make him more dangerous.
