Trump Entered Fugue State In Debate Whenever COVID Came Up | Talking Points Memo

Meanwhile, over at RNC debate headquarters, they were lapping up Trump’s shit like … well actually it’s impossible to come up with an adequate simile, but here’s the security footage.

Which reminds me, a few days ago I read about a study that says getting tattoos kills sweat glands so if you’re all inked up your body can overheat.

In psychology it’s a state in which you lose your sense of identity and often your memories, and will sometimes wander or travel, hence the etymology. The musical term is based on the related etymology of the chase. The psychological term and the actual thing are pretty rarely seen. My previous explanation was an attempt at a joke. :slightly_smiling_face:

There was a guy in Ohio at one of those ridiculous CNN post debate gathering of voters. He actually said that Biden delivered a low blow when accusing Trump of 200,000 Covid deaths saying “no one could have seen that coming.” This is the mentality of the cult.

I love how the, “Both siderism” people who stated last night that neither tRump or Biden won have woke this morning with a, “What the fuck was I thinking?” moment and have clearly changed their tune. Even the right wing echo chamber and many of his propaganda sycophants are admitting the shit show falls entirely on the orange buffoon.

Also the guy who requires everyone around him to sign an NDA, who pays women he’s assaulted to keep their mouths shut, and who litigates repeatedly to keep books critical of him from being published.

Funny, but I don’t remember Obama or Biden doing any of those things.

Trump Entered Fugue State In Debate Whenever COVID Came Up

Happily I can state that Trumplethinskin lost the election last night.
Sadly, I note that democracy lies bleeding in our hands.

“Fugue State”? No, not according to the definitions of “fugue” that I’ve read, but I suspect I could be schooled on this subject by a real psychiatrist.

Fugue states

The fugue is a condition in which the individual wanders away from his home or place of work for periods of hours, days, or even weeks. One celebrated case was that of the Rev. Ansell Bourne, described by the U.S. psychologist William James. This clergyman wandered away from home for two months and acquired a new identity. On his return, he was found to have no memory of the period of absence, though it was eventually restored under hypnosis. In not all cases, however, is the basis of the fugue so manifestly psychogenic. Indeed, close observation in some instances may reveal minor alterations in consciousness and behaviour that suggest an organic basis, probably epileptic. According to one view, pathological wandering with subsequent amnesia is due to a constellation of factors, among which are a tendency toward periodic depression, history of a broken home in childhood, and predisposition to states of altered consciousness, even in the absence of organic brain lesion. Psychoanalysts, on the other hand, see in the fugue a symbolic escape from severe emotional conflict.

I can agree that there was a potential here for escape from severe emotional conflict, but the aggressive man-baby has severe emotional conflict which he suppresses 100% of his waking moments. Perhaps one could argue that his reason for continual copious lying is because he doesn’t recall the truth because he’s always falling into and out of fugue states, but I find this to be a real stretch. I’ll listen to what a real psychiatrist will say publicly about this specific “patient” (screw HIPAA when it comes to national security), but the one thing of which I am certain is that Trump is an EXTREMELY fucked up jackass. (No insult intended for real jackasses, which are valuable animals.)

Just remember in Mary’s book her aunt said she used to do Donnie’s homework when he was at Fordham. A girl had to do Donnie’s homework, just let that sink in.

Yeah, I think I saw him repeating idiotic right wing talking points & changed the channel. I mean, how undecided are you if you are repeating Fox News BS ?
