Eight Observations
- The reason why he presented “evidence” that contradicts the argument he wants to make is that he has a severe mental defect that prevents him from understanding the information he is given. He cannot keep himself from making illogical arguments because he is mentally incapable of distinguishing a logical argument from an illogical argument.
- In his old age, this severe mental defect is getting even worse.
- Trump is an evil person. In other words, a sociopath.
- We are morally justified in hating and despising Trump. But that said, I am inclined to think that our best public strategy is to exhibit pity for Trump.
- Every sentient person has observed that Trump wants to use last night’s speech as the predicate for a variety of forms of election interference. Every sentient person is right in that regard. But his malevolence is greatly inhibited by his incompetence.
- As a talking head said recently of his Iran strategy, the problem is not that he strategy is mistaken. The problem is that he does not know what strategy is. When all else fails, he may order a military coup. I don’t think it will work, but I am afraid we may find out whether it works or not.
- The American people unwisely reelected a proven traitor. They wanted lower consumer prices. They got higher consumer prices—along with a firehose of ridiculous lies about consumer prices. They wanted no more wars. They got the war in Iran—along with a firehose of ridiculous lies about the Iran war.
- Although Trump is fortunate to have legions of uneducated and gullible followers, the environment he has created—higher consumer prices and a war in the Middle East—is not propitious for his gullible followers’ acceptance of his firehose of lies about the election. He has cried “Wolf!” way too many times.
