A thread of people noticing that Trump is not right in the head.

He was always a malignant narcissist. Now his dementia is progressing. We should begin to take note.

You're welcome to add suggestions.

I'll keep adding in my usual haphazard fashion.

Here first the statement from The World Mental Health Coalition.

Ok. I'm a teacher. So let me break this down for you into very very simple ideas and numbers. Let's say you run a sandwich shop. You sell $10 sandwiches. It's a very good sandwich shop. You sell a lot of sandwiches. In fact, I buy a sandwich from you every single day. In a week, I have spent $70 buying sandwiches from you. Now let's say I am selling my car. You, the owner of the sandwich shop, need a car. I decide to sell you my car for the very very reasonable price of $700. So here's the situation at the end of a week. You have sold me $70 worth of goods. I have received $70 worth of sandwiches. In return, I have sold you $700 worth of goods, and you have received $700 worth of car. Any reasonable, rational person would look at that situation and say "that's a fair exchange". Both parties paid an amount of money equal to the value of the goods they now own. But Trump is not a rational person. What he has decided this means is that you have somehow cheated me out of $630, because $700-$70=$630. Does this make sense? Fuck no. If anything, I got the better part of that deal. I now have $630, plus a belly full of sandwiches. But it gets even worse. Then, because Trump's a-brain is filled with maggots, he further declares that since $630 divided by $700 is .9, that MUST mean you, the owner of the sandwich shop, have been imposing 90% "sandwich shop tariffs" on me the whole time. Does THIS make a lick of sense either? Also fuck no. But wait, you're going to love this. Trump's "solution" to this is to decree that going forward, all sandwiches you sell me will be marked up a "reciprocal' 90%, making the total cost for a sandwich $19 instead of $10. He says this will be good for sandwich sales. Does THIS make any goddamn sense either? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick no it fucking does not. This entire idea is complete horseshit for what I hope you can now see are a whole raft of very very obvious reasons. Among them: 1. There never was a "sandwich shop tariff" to reciprocate 2. There is no rational reason for you to buy a car from me ever again 3. This will not make sandwiches cheaper 4. That's not how numbers work 5. That's not how any of this works Now replace the car seller with America, and the sandwich shop with an island inhabited only by penguins. I wish I was joking.

Trump PURGES national security team after meeting conspiracist Six people from the NSC were sacked after Trump met with pro-nazi Laura Loomer, including three senior officials on the body which advises the president on top foreign policy matters from Ukraine to Gaza. There are worrying signs, noting unhinged Trump announced nonsensical tariff increases on the same day he invited conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer to the Oval Office to advise him on national security staff loyalty—after which Trump fired at least six NSC officials. The activist later said she had presented "opposition research." America is being run by criminals. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-national-security-2671672155/ #EU #EuropeanUnion #UK #Europe #Baltics #nato #usa

@SuneAuken @atrupar

Layered onto that, he says things solely with a view to the effect that his statements will have and without the remotest interest in or respect for what would normally be viewed as the substance of his words.

For him there simply is no substance. Reporting should focus always on identifying the impact which he is intending to achieve.

Textual analysis is a fool's game. Instead, highlight and explain his motive.

@lionelb

As someone who has textual analysis as my actual profession I try to play it not as a fools game but as a tool for understanding, but I know what you mean.

Anyway, Trump's instincts were always those of a bullshitter. They become even more pronounced as his consiousness shrinks.

@SuneAuken

What I mean is for example that saying 'talks' leads to Iran being besieged by journalists asking about talks. That brings some pressure to bear on them but more than that it crowds out their own attempts at messaging.

As a tactic in the information war it appears useful and effective.

It also creates a (false) narrative that the US is pursuing peace and being rebuffed by Iran.

Those purposes should be identified, the games explained.

@SuneAuken

A lashing out so extreme that those around him have no option but to contain it is still very much a possibility. His simple death will be a lesser crisis.
