Journey Into The Wilderness Of Trump’s Post-Hospital Tweeting

Since President Donald Trump left Walter Reed Medical Center Monday, cyberspace has run thick with his tweets, many of them indecipherable and contradictory — even by his standards.

Given Trump’s mental state, the main thing we should be paying attention to is our ability to respond.

This is a baby with grown up toys and babysitters who enable, rather than simply “mind”.

Discobot, I can neither confirm nor deny this is a sentence.

Live tweeting as performance art. It’s like Marlon Brando fused brains with Jack Kerouac, Joseph Beuys and Hunter S. Thompson, except every thought and word was self-pity.

OK. He’s “effing” lost it! Trump’s mind is just all over the place, with no discernible attention span or ability to focus.

He’s just tied to his id in sort of a manic/depressive fantasy. He belongs in a hospital ward (preferably the psych ward) rather than the White House.

The election can’t come soon enough.

Still in the manic phase of dexamethasone use, I see. Anyone know when it wears off?

This is brilliant dry broadside, using nothing but facts, but it could be an Onion article. How I wish this pestilential idiot would just, poof, disappear one day, like the disease he so easily dismisses.

He may have been permanently pushed into that mode by now. The mind/body is just a machine, after all. If it thinks Trump’s behavior is the norm, it will try to accommodate him.

WaPo reports 50 tweets in 24 hours having to do with Hillary and spying conspiracy. Sure, it’s funny but it’s also scary as hell considering the GOP will do nothing apparently.

Pack him up in the helicopter and tell Walter Reed to have the psych ward’s presidential suite ready.

Kevin Drum, over on Mother Jones, sleeps for a day or so. This would, I think, be merciful to the entire nation. Not to mention a call for the 25th Amendment to kick in. Maybe through Jan 20.

If it is like prednisone, he will be tapered off of it.

So we’re not allowed to oppose Trump, because that means we’d be just like him? Not buying it.

Vote.

My simple-phrase analysis of Trumplethinskin’s post-hospital tweetspews is the same as the simple-phrase analysis of his pre-hospital tweetspews for obvious reasons.

“He be cray-cray!”

Go ahead and refute that, Trumpty Dumpty.
