Every day of the week ends with a “Y”

Figure out what was on the TV when he tweeted. I’m sure it’ll make mire sense.
Also, narcissist needs attention.

I used to think they would snap to reality after a bit. But now, nah. It reminds me of the stories I read about the German populations outside of the concentration camps. The denial and rationalization of what was happening in their minds must have been vast. They saw themselves as winners and victims and that wiped out any other bit of conscious they might have had. Hitler fed them very simple memes, easy to cling to. He tweaked and amplified their basic prejudices, giving them permission to be the vile people they are today. He made it heroic to be evil in a sense. That is all they needed. I see the same mechanics in play today. And it is by design from external sources in my opinion. Trump is not the instigator but the delivery device. Trump is what he is, the most extreme narcissist I can think of. But he was weaponized in the process.

Must be really uncomfortable to have that anchor chain around your next as the S.S. Trumptanic is going stern up prior to its final dive beneath the waves.

Of course that idea could only possibly make sense from some viewpoint other than Trump’s. Trump himself, to make his comments about McCain public, has to believe that the public (mostly, “his” public at least) will find his complaints about McCain insightful, justified, and relevant. Trump has to be demented, in short.
Bystanders, whether they be his aides, or the media, or the public, have an understandable reluctance to admit that our president is demented. The idea that he is some criminal, or suffers from some sort of personality disorder, is, in comparison, only even potentially unsettling to folks on his side of the political divide. But as long as he’s getting away with it, they can say, “Maybe he’s an SOB, but, dammit, he’s our SOB!”. We, on the other hand, are happy to see him that way, to believe that he is a crook and/or a pathological narcissist. Why such a person would find it strategically useful to complain about the imagined personal slights of a dead man is puzzling – it provokes the head hurt that prompted this comment.
But head hurt is not as painful as despair, and despair is what the reality of a demented president requires unless you have a very long view of cosmic order and justice. That is the potential good that Trump can do, help us all to a longer view on these matters, because, boy, does the short view ever begin to look pretty rocky.

I think this is probably a distraction reflex for Trump and not entirely calculated. Trump feels threatened by McCain because when, as a POW, he was given a choice to either betray his country and go free, or remain in captivity and possibly die, McCain chose to stay with his fellow Americans in captivity. Trump can neither understand nor imagine what motivated McCain to act with such with honor and patriotism, because under less dire circumstances Trump chose to betray his nation.
McCain was a better man than Trump, and at some level Trump feels it is so. Thus his reflexive urge to distract often impotently lashes out at McCain.

This psychotic malfunction is not infinitely complex … but appears to be a bit like a cold virus … has to run its course.
Nonetheless it is maddening that this insanity has not simply imploded.

Interesting that no one is talking about his veto for his fake emergency at the border to build his imaginary wall, and that only happened less than a week ago. Practically everyone in the House voted against this boondoggle and he had 12 from his own party vote against him in the Senate. Now he’s trying to declare a national emergency over our automobile industry and force everyone to pay more for our cars as his next brainiac idea. When will the madness end???

Let these two takes marinate:WTF ?
"President Donald Trump has a low approval rating. He is engaging in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations.
But if the election were held today, he’d likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of picking presidential winners and losses."
"Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough this morning agreed with George Conway that President Donald Trump “no doubt” shows evidence of cognitive decline.
The Washington attorney, who is the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, has been involved in a feud with the president, whom he suggests has a mental illness as well as other mental and physical disabilities."

I can’t believe how much time is being spent here and in the press about why Trump bring McCain up out of the blue. This is all bullshit. Is Trump mentally ill? I’m not qualified to make a diagnosis. But I can say this guy is certainly maladjusted. But focusing on that is a waste of time. IMO, this is all a distraction engineered by Trump.
Trump understands how to manipulate the media; he’s been doing it all his adult life. They act like a bunch of sharks on a feeding frenzy. He understood what was coming because of NZ massacre. He chose to give the sharks something else to feed on and the media took the bait, like they always do.

Some of us are old enough to remember when the Republicans pushed out an agriculture secretary, Earl Butz because he told a tacky racist joke. Now they don’t even have the gumption to stand up for a deceased POW.

Now THAT is going to cost him some GOP Senators.
It’s fun for a Trumper to hate…but hate don’t pay the bills…especially when the car dealerships they work at go out of business…and GOP Senators listen to those folks…
