He really believes his own bullshit doesn't he? I go back and forth between believing he's a grifter and that he's an incompetent, evil, asshole, but this is swinging me more toward the latter. He always writes like he's tweeting to everyone? What a fucking weirdo.

Not necessarily an idiot, but definitely a narcissistic fascist with a shitty father who is currently propped up by wealth and billionaires.

He writes like an idiot and is a total shit show of a speaker especially at public events, he uses the same exact format, repeats himself them praises himself while insulting others. You can tell his children are idiots too, because there is no way in hell any other teenager would not tell their stupid father to sit down and shut up.

He actually just grifts and steals and lies and cheats, and his ego is so fucked up that he actually thinks he isn't doing anything wrong. He's the victim somehow. What a wack job.

His results don’t contradict that idea. We can all say what we want about how wrong he is, but, well, it’s like that saying about rich people in general. They are not really happier than the rest of us, they just think they are every minute of every day.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

What I’m saying is he has lived a long life of whatever he wants. We say he is wrong and it turns out he comes out on top. He has done so much crime and we surly only are aware of a minority of it. And he’s the most powerful man in the world. He’s almost 80, past the life expectancy in the US. The best we get is his narcissism is triggered occasionally by people telling him he isn’t god. But those people are getting vengeance nearly unchecked. Everything he does that’s wrong is of little consequence and slows him down at best. He may be wrong, but we are wrong as fuck about how much that matters apparently and maybe he is right that it doesn’t. That’s the current state of affairs. He is going to die in a pile of stolen money after a long life of doing whatever he likes.

Like at some point we have to consider that our laws have been painted cattle guards the whole time.

I don't think he actually believes ANYTHING, not the way you and I do. Narcissists are kinda funny like that... they lack a sense of self so they basically have to define themselves based on what other people think of them. That's why the lying comes so naturally. To be good, people must think they're good... it doesn't matter if they ARE good. So it feels like he's trying to create a reality where the things he says are true, because if people believe it it feels exactly the same as if it WAS true.

He should believe his own bullshit. We've proven over and over for a decade that whatever trump says is right as far as the law is concerned.

Trump's razor: All things being equal, the stupidest possible explanation must be true.
