Discussion: 'Our Country Is Full': Trump Doubles Down 'Emergency' At Southern Border

Dementia patients also often get angry and even violent as the condition sets in. Initially, it may in part be a tangible expression of frustration at what they only vaguely perceive as the loss of independence. For Trump, the hate part is so instinctive that it will probably the last part that goes.

That is classic Trump. Create a problem, then claim that only your previously unacceptable ā€œsolutionā€ can fix it. Repeat until the desired outcome (from his perspective) is achieved.

Yep. Itā€™s his one go-to move. Break stuff, then demand his price for fixing it.

ok, DEAR LEADER says the country is ā€˜fullā€™, no more people. the best population control method is abortionā€¦women are just having too many babiesā€¦they must be stoppedā€¦ and babies donā€™t pay taxesā€¦in fact, they are strain on the budgetā€¦they need health care, schools and play grounds, etcā€¦ this money would be better spent on country clubs and resorts that are owned by the smartest peopleā€¦and how are the rich supposed to get richer if no-one can afford to join the country clubs , buy the huge TVs , huge SUVs ,and other relatively useless devices/

And then donā€™t really fix it at all because you might be able to get more out of the same crisis.

Weā€™ll see this again and again because Miller is implacable about choking off Hispanic immigration. Heā€™s not just a provocateur on that, itā€™s an obsession.

anger and fear are usually quite evident as dementia comes onā€¦the anger comes from loss of memory, etc. and the fear comes from losing control and his life long paranoia;he probably have never fully trusted anyone in his whole life, except maybe his mother and she is goneā€¦his name-calling and denigration of others[opponents] is his way of attempting to pull them down to his level.

Weā€™ve know for a while heā€™s a sadist, but Iā€™m seeing some masochism on PPā€™s part. His policies, every last one, are failures: health care non-proposals, immigration, trade, etc., and yet he returns to each one and pounds on them for the publicā€™s benefit making himself look ever more incompetent. Perhaps he doesnā€™t mind the level of pain and humiliation heā€™s inflicting on himself because, hey, heā€™s got a captive audience at all time and talk talk talk is all that matters.

I see him as something of a crack dealer. Feeling the pain of withdrawal? Have some more crack. The only way his supporters see to stem the pain is more of the very thing that caused the problem in the first place.

Hope youā€™ve seen this. ā€œdozensā€ of whistle blowers.

a small army of whistle-blowers from across the government has been working in secret with the House Oversight Committee to report alleged malfeasance inside the Trump administration. Lawmakers and aides are reluctant to discuss information they have gleaned from anonymous government tipsters in detail. But the list of whistle-blowers who either currently or previously worked in the Trump administration, or who worked closely with the administration, numbers in the ā€œdozens,ā€ according to a senior aide from the committee now led by Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland.

Actually, I think this ā€œmasochismā€ is unintended and in fact the abovementioned dementia: he doesnā€™t remember that he doesnā€™t have a health care plan, that his tariffs arenā€™t working well, etc. Heā€™s on autopilot, and automatic response, which help when he struggles for thoughts and coherency.

Just so as many people as possible are listening, heā€™ll give them something. The thoughts may be neat and tidy when he starts out but then inevitably unravel into, well, youā€™ve probably heard some of the worst/best examples.

Whomever is running for the Dem nom (yes all of them) should issue a joint statement. It should condemn this lunacy, and remind Trump his wife is an immigrant and his son an anchor baby.

IF the country is so full, why then do Republicans want more women to have more babies, even if they donā€™t want to.

Overpopulation much?

Hypocrite much?

Bigot much?

Weā€™ve run out of space? Well, that sounds like a damned good reason to have unrestricted access to abortion for the women of America!

He doesnā€™t know from space in this country - heā€™s a New Yorker. New York is out of room. He has no idea what is west of the Missouri. Miles and miles and miles of open country still.
