Donald Trump Is Delusional
www.thebulwark.com
His latest interview puts to rest the longstanding question of whether he's knowingly lying or detached from reality.

Summary

Trump’s latest interview with Bret Baier on Fox News strongly suggests he is delusional, not just a liar.

He doubled down on election fraud conspiracies, baseless accusations against USAID, and his belief that tariffs alone can fund government spending. Trump also reaffirmed his desire to annex Canada and proposed a U.S.-controlled Gaza without Palestinian return.

His belief in these absurd ideas confirms a dangerous, self-delusional worldview that undermines stable governance, jeopardizes international cooperation, and endangers global stability.

    No he’s not:

    “The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

    So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

    “All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

      Exactly. He’s the clown getting everyone’s attention while his lackeys fuck everything up in the background.
