I wouldn’t call trump crazy. Senile? Yes. Dumb? Yes. Overly prideful? Yes. Bigoted? Yes. Crazy? No. He’s just beholden to nothing and no one relevant to our perspectives.
Senile and has dementia could loosely be called crazy.
He is old af, in diapers and talking to the yard about his ballroom while in meetings. He's lost it occasionally and sundowns occasionally. He is not up for the job.
Totally agree, but i'd say he is sane. It's just that he has a different sense of what is normal, a different view on what is morally okay and priorities that are different than those of the average politician. But being crazy is imo different than doing something crazy. I think you could actually do a lot of crazy things without actually being crazy, which is how i see what is happening in the US gov.
Didn't he want to nuke a hurricane, back in like 2017? After someone told him that just changing the expected course with an expo market on a map doesn't actually do anything?
That's like first-grader logic and problem solving right there. I don't even know if it is true but the fact that it could be tells you everything you need to know about his mental capacity...
I’m not a psychiatrist but I can take a look.
From what I know of some people around me, I think Trump really is mentally ill. Those people usually can’t see what is reality to other people and they live in a reality what others can’t understand. We can make a jokes about his behavior and comments, but we have to understand that what he says and does is not a joke to him, it’s reality where he lives.
I agree that he is dumb and senile and all that, but he definitely is a mentally unstable and ill too. And this makes him and his cult very dangerous to not only the people of US, but also to all the world.
His actions are more directed than he immediately appears. He receives political support for his seemingly inane actions, monetary support for his atrocities, stacks politics in his favor through debasement. He’s not politically savvy or crazy, he’s just willing to use the tools afforded to him in ways that most people would reasonably consider to be major violations by every conceivable definition.
He incarcerates and deports statistically oppositional citizens to prevent them from voting against him. He steals money because he’s certain no one will stop him. He sells the US to donors to maintain his base of support.
He’s not all there in the head, but is clear headed enough to seem somewhere between “he really shouldn’t be driving anymore” and “it’s good that he can still do his hobbies.”
TLDR: he’s just old, coddled, dumb, awful, and maneuvering politically in ways that benefit only him and like 60 other people. Still sane, for now
