That’s my bet. People have, for years, tried to act smart, say, “He’s always been an idiot!” Nah. Below average intelligence? Sure. But he really turned a corner in 2021-22 or so and now the roller coaster is off to the races.
He’s come with 9,000 stupid, mystifying, illogical, evil even, statements. But yesterday was something I’ve never seen before. You and I would be headed for a rest home if we acted like that. Put that in the bucket with the last 2-years of lunacy, we would be living with a full-time caretaker if we were rich.
People like us that are watching and politically engaged have been noting the slide, but that performance yesterday was on display for a long time, not merely a sound bite a supporter can weasel around.
In some ways, you could consider it a small blessing that Trump has been forced to spend the last decade of his life frantically (metaphorically) running from shadow to shadow trying to avoid the law and keep his hold onto fascist power.
Like, he could have spent the last 30 years relaxing at Maralago paying pornstars for sex but he just couldn’t keep his fucking mouth shut.
