Literally watching a toddler tantrum in a full grown, dementia-addled, man-child.

    I guess he needs to distract from the bad trade deal negotiations with Canada to distract from the illegal war going poorly with Iran.

        I used to believe the whole distraction theory, but now I think he’s just that much of an idiot. Suggesting that there’s a strategy just gives him far too much credit.

        Every time in his life that he fucked up before now he’s been able to cheat his way out of it. All he knows is fucking up and cheating. If he had ever faced a consequence, he might have at least the intelligence of a slug, but he was never forced to develop his mind in any way other than cheating.

          The only caveat I have here is that he’s a puppet. The likelihood that there are intelligences behind him is too great. Trump doesn’t have a strategy, but others do.

          Flatter him a few times and ask him to say something stupid and it’ll get said. He is the distraction, but doesn’t know it.

          My holdout for hope is that this much of a stooge can only come around every few years. There can’t be another idiot waiting in the wings, right? Right?

          I don’t think those in his circle will dance on the same strings that trump will, and will break the illusion if asked to, but I’m just an optimist.
