For the 273rd time: Trump’s “defense” of all his former top officials saying he’s unfit for office is that he put dumb, treacherous, deranged degenerates in the highest positions of authority in the federal government. Which, if it were true, would be an admission of shocking incompetence at one of the most important things presidents do.
It’s almost comical that he can’t think, like, one move ahead and recognize that his “defense” still makes him sound like a fool and a failure. But I guess there aren’t a lot of great options when all your closest colleagues denounce your incompetence.
we get stuck parsing his post-literate nonsense for sense. it is entirely a semi-verbal process of signaling primitive messages such as “big,” “tough,” and “strong”
