    As fun as it is to dunk on how stupid and demented Trump is, it also serves to downplay the threat he poses and is thus unhelpful at best or disinformation at worst.

    I also feel obligated to point out that he wasn’t always as addled and incoherent as he is now – if you go back and watch old interviews from the '80s or whatever, he was, in fact, capable of stringing thoughts together at least.

      I don’t know if I’m just easily triggered because of personal experiences, but I don’t understand how anyone can look at him speak and not recognized his unhealthy grandiosity. That guy is not mentally okay and should not be in charge of anything.

      Not even his intelligence, that’s the personality of someone who cheated their way through anything that might’ve involved assigned reading.

      I think we all know there’s a lot of ways to get out of assigned reading, and it is not a rare phenomenon.
