👻 💩

I would absolutely agree. Beneath all that bluster, who am I to diagnose him?" the journalist [Eugene Robinson] admitted. "I'm not a psychologist, but there is clearly some deep insecurity and feeling of inadequacy that causes him to continually lash out and puff himself up and adopt this air of infallibility which is absurd." 
"But that's who he is," he continued. "I think he is a really, really damaged person, and, you know, because of that and for a lot of other reasons, he's really dangerous. And he proved that in four years as president. He would prove it again if he were ever allowed near the White House again." 
"This is not a well man," he concluded.
Well, it’s not a clinical diagnosis, so opinions are allowed. And just contrast behaviors: If you put those words on a teleprompter, Trump couldn’t even say them. The largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, involving 24 prisoners released from Russia, complex negotiations between 5 allies and Russia, convincing countries to sacrifice for the benefit of all? No, it wouldn’t have happened with Trump. That last part, about sacrifice? Inconceivable to Trump. He would brag about the deal he got. And for that reason alone, never get it. The ghost of Trump will demand it. 👻  Because, you know, proportional response; or something. Besides, it’s all about Trump. Blow up the whole world, Trump must get his own. Isn’t that how comic book supervillains behave?

And since I’ve veered off into this Bartiromo interview: Trump still hasn’t come up with a message on the Harris candidacy? A “coup”? It’s killing him that Biden is still in office: Trump is the man running frantically around the round room because he was told to go sit in the corner. Right now he doesn’t know whether to shit or go blind. He can’t debate Harris, and he can’t walk away from debating Harris.

And he’s not any closer to figuring out what to do about anything that’s happened since Biden withdrew his challenge. Or the situation of the round room;?ir whether or not to shit. 💩
