Trump's Insanity

[surfered]

Musings of a stable genius;

Donald Trump: “Doug Burgum, he was the great governor of North Carolina... He's the Secretary of Energy plus a lot of land.”

(Fact: Doug Burgum was never the governor of North Carolina and is not his Energy Secretary. I can’t explain the “lot of land” statement)

He’s demented.

[Danmel]

1. North Dakota, North Carolina

Energy, Interior?
What's the difference?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Insanity is different from dementia.

tRump is sub-clinical on both (which runs counter to much DU commentary), but he has definite indicators and is getting worse. Chances are by the end of his term he will be clinical on dementia, and might be clinical on insanity.

3. Sorta like Reagan's second term when Nancy and Donald Regan were runnng the country...

as Ronald Reagan faded into dementia. Who will step up for the already fading trump as Melania doesn't care and is certanly no Nancy Reagan who had experience as first lady of Calfornia when Reagan was governor there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Ivana is the true tRump whisperer because of a weird part of his incipient insanity: he wants to date her

At the end of his term, she will want to ensure that he is taken care of and he will accept some of her care and ministrations.

5. You think? Seems she's been distancing herself and Kushner snce they got...

the billions from the ME.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Yes, who wants Cantaloupe guts spraying on you as the Caligula rots and decays. But after, she will have sympathy. . . n

[Lonestarblue]

7. Ivanka. Ivana is the deceased wife buried among the weeds on Trump's golf club.

[Marthe48]

8. I wish Ivana had died a widow

N/t

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Fun fact, Ivana is the given name of both of them.

Of course, one of them is indisposed (or very disposed as it were) right now.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Correct you are. Thank you. . . . nt

[Harker]

9. My thinking is that a committee of republican officials will serve as a buffer...

so that they can continue to direct his attention to hateful, draconian issues they think benefit them in their efforts to seize lasting control.

When he becomes insupportable, chosen successors will step onto the bus as Trumpsky gets a good look at the drive train and suspension.

[brush]

12. Heehee. Your last paragraph is lkely. Vance will lunge for the driver's seat.

Melania will be totally out of the picture as she doesn't care anyway.

[Harker]

13. She has her eye on her payoff, I'm sure.

Whichever handlers he trusts at the time he crosses the edge will have a big advantage, but yes, Vance has the title.

[Katinfl]

10. It has to be sooner than the end of his term.

Doubt he/we will make it until then.

[ZDU]

11. Criminally insane...

... in 3, 2, 1

[H2O Man]

14. Actually, not.

"Sane" and "insane" are definitions used in the legal system, to serve as a measurement of knowing right from wrong, and the ability to work with a defense attorney. By that standard, the felon is "sane."

Being "sane" does not imply either mental health or mental illness. A person can have a major mental illness, and be competent to stand trial. The felon, of course, does not have a major mental illness. As my 2020 series of interviews with Dr. Bandy Lee document, he is a sociopath, who has numerous factors found in the Cluster B personality disorders.

More, he is at an age where his cognitive skills are declining.

[ZDU]

15. My point is...

I consider the bastard to be a criminal and insane. Thank you

[H2O Man]

17. A criminal, yes.

But insane, no. Words having meanings and all.

[ZDU]

22. He is insane by my definition and

Oxford Dictionary online. Done. Fin.

[H2O Man]

23. I note that

it says, "The use of insane with this meaning can be offensive, although it still has a technical use in law, meaning that somebody is not able to understand that their own actions are wrong or not able to understand a trial process." Which is, of course, what I have been saying. But you are free to use it, despite being exposed to the Oxford dictionary!

[Harker]

16. He may be sane, but he easily meets my non-clinical definition of "nuts."

Often rendered with colorful modifiers.

[H2O Man]

18. He meets the

Irish definition of "not right in the head."

[Harker]

19. I love a good Irishism!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Yes. Not "at an age", but at a stage. Many people his age do not have the same amount of decline.

Some live much older without anywhere near as much decline.

[H2O Man]

26. You are absolutely right.

At 93 years of age, my aunt was sharp as a tack. She would have made the felon cry in a debate. People have a wide range in terms of mental decline, based upon DNA, life style, diet, excercise, and ways of navigating stress. However, in general, the felon is at the age the decline tends to start. Of course, there are different paces in decline.

[Ping Tung]
