I'm guessing his clinical psychologist niece's recent book might shed some light on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Is he taking time out during this crisis for a cameo on a comedy show? That honestly seems like a scene out of Curb Your Enthusiasm. 4 years later it's still sinking in that there's a genuine moron in the White House.

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 The key thing about that video is that it demonstrates very clearly how he gets his information from two sources only: firstly, cable TV, especially Fox and OANN, which try as much as possible to put a positive spin on things and divert the conversation into culture war trivia, and secondly, from aides who are preparing him simple, sunny charts focusing on the positive and being as easy to comprehend as possible. To what extent they are doing that because of his stupidity, his (literal) short-sightedness, his dementia, or his chronic lack of curiosity is less important than the fact that he's a fool being told that all is well outside the palace walls. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 A wise man once said: Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him? People are going to prison for him, evangelicals are saying that God sent him, lives, liberty and America as a democracy are all under threat and this is the man they are prepared to toss it all away on? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the perfect opportunity to replace him with someone more ideologically doctrinaire who the media would have had a harder time bashing, and they completely bottled it. Complete lack of cojones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
