Is it possible for a rational person to understand the mind of an irrational and unstable person? [View all]
We have spent innumerable days trying to understand the thoughts and actions of Donald Trump. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that it is impossible to understand.
Perhaps all we can do is to guard ourselves from his irrational actions and thoughts? We cannot dissuade or persuade - we can only prepare and adapt. We can only protect our own reality.
Even those that support him do not understand him. They believe, out of blind faith, in a party ideology and little else. They have their own irrational thoughts to deal with.
He is like the neighbor's little boy that throws rocks and curses people as they walk by his house. They try to reason with him but to no avail. Eventually, they realize that he is what he is and they accept that reality.
Donald Trump is not going to change. He is what he is. There is no rational person there. Once we accept that, it is much easier to understand where we go in the future.
