The damage he’s causing isn’t the result of someone who’s trying to do good and failing. He is an enemy of the United States, deliberately doing as much damage as he can.
He may be an idiot, but thankfully so otherwise the comparisons to the Nazis circa 1930 would be a lot more direct.
George W. Bush was an idiot. A man who legitimately didn’t understand politics. He was a puppet, just like Trump. But Trump knows he has power and he uses it purposefully to make people mad. He’s like someone who argues online for dopamine, except it’s controlling a country.
Interesting idea to explain everything - mango Mussolini is merely an internet troll arguing and stoking outrage. Yet somehow the moderators haven’t banned him. Somehow his outraged leaked into reality
It’s like that one user who runs around doing whatever they want because they know the mods. Occasionally they might get a 24 hour ban for being really bad, but that’s just for show. It will never be permanent and ultimately if you want them to stop you have to find where they live and do it yourself.
I would argue there is a pretty good angle from the Eisenhower executive office building
No one thinks he’s playing 5d chess except the fucking rubes.
And yeah he’s an idiot.
But he’s not like a bumbling guy with bad ideas because he doesn’t understand how things work. It’s a mistake to think this.
Trump is doing things very intentionally. Silencing the press, crashing the government and economy in ways that benefit the wealthy.
He’s doing shit for him, not for you. When you position it like “Trump is an idiot! He’s doing the presidency thing very wrong” your mistake is that he’s “doing the presidency thing”. He’s doing the private equity thing.
Billionaires have become billionaires without being a president and can hold way more sway and power over things than being a president and without being held to short terms.
there are many easier ways to self serve.
So if you thought this was a play : He’s doing it hard mode and unsustainably so.
he’s suffering with dementia. Do not confuse malice with simple stupidity.
It’s kind of both. Trump is a moron and some of what he does is failing and he doesn’t understand why, but some of it is also working exactly like he planned. Trump is and always has been a conman. He is not a businessman, he is a conman. That’s a very critical thing to understand. Everything he does is a grift of some kind, it’s his default operating mode.
Every action he takes he intends to either enrich himself or attack someone he doesn’t like. He never does anything that will benefit someone else unless he sees some way in which he can also benefit. He will always opt for the scummiest solution to any problem because he likes to feel like he “tricked” someone or got one over on them, that it somehow proves he’s a brilliant businessman. He genuinely believes that scammer and businessman are the same thing.
I don’t doubt he thinks it is some sort of 5 d chess. But he’s still suffering with dementia and a healthy dose of narcissism making him completely useless. Even the people he is playing puppet to are going to get fucked hard and it’s not even the plan. It’s just how dementia works and how fools who think they are using someone (and it is elder abuse) are really the creation and fall of their own making. They stupidly thought he was just a hype man with stern dad energy.
They had no idea they were playing with pure chaos.
He genuinely believes that scammer and businessman are the same thing.
which actually, if you look at how “great businessmen” from history had amassed their fortunes, isn’t that far from the truth. It’s not exactly right, but it’s not exactly wrong, either. Someone was always getting fucked in the process, it was usually just their employees instead of their business partners.
It’s not about 5d chess or something. It’s about inaction - basically because he’s an idiot means that we only need to wait and see until he hurts himself. It would be the major mistake as I’ve said before
He’s not, he’s an idiot who legitimately doesn’t understand why what he’s doing isn’t working.
That’s infinitly more dangerous than someone who is intentionally breaking shit.
Hitler thought he was doing what was best for Germany…
And like Hitler, Trump isn’t acting alone. He has a gigantic staff of sycophants with their own agendas supporting him. Just like Hitler did.
he’s not only an idiot, he’s a puppet. hillary was spot-on with that assessment way back then.
A TV show host
*child rapist
Ya both, just saying his professional job has always been to be a name and celebrity personality.
The damage he’s causing isn’t the result of someone who’s trying to do good and failing. He is an enemy of the United States, deliberately doing as much damage as he can.
He may be an idiot, but thankfully so otherwise the comparisons to the Nazis circa 1930 would be a lot more direct.
He is 100% doing anything he can think of to improve the economy…
He’s just shit at it and can’t.
He is also 100% doing evil shit on social issues, but he thinks they’re not evil because he’s racist and bigoted.
And things would be much worse if he was competent at that part too

You’re making a major mistake
What?
Do people legitimately believe the “5d chess” shit?
He’s a complete and total idiot, even before the normal effects of aging scrambled his brain. That’s not disputable. Donald Trump is a complete idiot
