There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane. His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s

You’ll get over it.

Stop whining, it’s your sides’ turn to suffer, Rarely Right Walter.

Nice Christian attitude there, pEarl. I guess you forgot that the idiots like yourself who voted for the #FatFascistFelon are going to suffer, too, as their 401(k)s lose value, the price of everything imported goes up by 25%, and companies start laying off because ppl don't have the money to buy their products or services. So much winning!

It is just one distraction after another.

Those distractions make me wonder if Trump is up to something else.
It looks like he is playing " look over here , so I can do something over here "
I don't trust that low life Mother fuck as far as I could throw his fat ass.

I think trump just assumes he is up to something. he knows himself, and knows he is guilty of felonies. I doubt he bothers remembering which felonies, but he automatically covers them up.

Terminator Trump is unique, irreplaceable, unparalleled- a criminal, morally-bereft effigy of a decent American which can never be successfully emulated, copied or cloned . When his term ends, be it full or mercifully short, Republicans will stumble and reel for decades , mourning their departed lucifer. Into the void will step a stream of mandatory Democrats, useless as individuals, appalling as a group- and the charade of US democracy will continue in its downward spiral until it collapses in upon itself and the country becomes fragmented and shared among tribal warlords like those of the original indigenous people that the diseased incomers from Europe slaughtered and replaced.

That's what the election of a narcissistic crook will have done to the aspirations of the united states experiment.

His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.​

“They say an old man is twice a child,” Rosencrantz remarks in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, as he and the prince of Denmark observe Polonius. It’s a borrowed line, dating back to antiquity: Sophocles wrote, “For the aged man is once again a child.” We all recognize that old age can cause senility and fragility. And when a person is already inclined toward delusion, that trait can become more entrenched and grandiose over time. The irony in Rosencrantz’s comment is that he is speaking with a character who is both feigning madness and possibly descending into it. Polonius, in fact, is the one to note that Hamlet’s act may produce certain benefits, declaring, “Though this be madness, yet there is method in ’t.”

We’ve seen this strategy throughout modern political history. Khrushchev feigned irrationality to strike fear into the West. Reagan thought it benefited him if Russia viewed him as possibly crazy. After Hiroshima, Truman wanted the Japanese to believe he would bombard them with “a rain of ruin from the air,” even though he only had one more bomb at his disposal (and figured it a bonus if the Soviets thought he might drop one again). Sometimes it can be difficult to discern what is an act and what is true madness, but it’s important to recognize when there is no meaning to be found—no method to the madness.

Trump is extremely rational. His plan is obvious. Cause decline in nation and declare himself dictator. Nothing mysterious.
