Trump's Reality


Mika and Joe on MSNBC's Morning Joe proclaim (a fancy word for "yell") it at every opportunity -- Trump is crazy ... or Trump is suffering from early-onset dementia. A group of psychiatrists recently gave their group diagnosis that Trump was cuckoopie. And now Trump himself, in his tweets, is  sometimes showing a distorted reality ... he really didn't say what was on the Billy Bush "grab 'em by the pussy" tape. Or he fired Flynn because he lied to the FBI as well as Pence. (It is very unlikely he knew about the Flynn FBI lie which occurred, if it occurred at all, well after Comey's firing.)

Anyway, yes even I sometimes get twinges of concern over Trump's concept of reality. But these twinges have not yet overtaken my concern about the mania on the Left as they see Obama's crooked house being demolished brick by brick.

I am still willing to view Trump's sometimes quirkiness as a result of his oversized ego ... and it being an asset that keeps true nutjobs like lil' Kim off balance. The stock market is roaring not just because of Trump's recent tax win ... but because they see Obama's crooked house being razed.

Our "demented" president is doing things on the economic, immigration, anti-terrorism, trade, climate, and national defense fronts that are far more rational than our previous "sane" president. And, if you Hillary-ophiles think that your attempts at a slow-motion coup is perfectly rational, then I think you too need some couch time with those puffed-up psychiatrists who have diagnosed Trump as nuts.

Accuse me, if you will, of living in Trump's version of reality. But, when I see our previous understanding  of  what was sanity crumbling with each new sexual harassment revelation ... and many adults, like Mitch McConnell, buying into the Trump way, I am more comfortable with Trump's form of dirangement.

Trump's outright lies, contradictions and loony tirades give you a twinge of concern? You can't see what is really happening because your intense hatred of Obama, Hillary, BLM, and the fringe Left, blinds you to the idiocy and insanity of his presidency. (The stock market was roaring long before he was elected.) What you see as "tearing-down Obama's crooked house" I see as enriching and empowering the soul-less corporate interests (Robber Barons?) to exploit the people and resources for short-term profit, regardless of public safety and common decency. Why do you identify with plutocrats --who are not looking out for you?

Certainly the 10 wealthiest Ameicans ... eight of which are hard-Lefties. Yes, the market will, at some point correct ... but, in the meantime, enjoy yourself ... and don't join the mass psychosis called anti-Trumpers. My dismissal of your wunderkid, Obama, I believe is being borne out by the turn around that has happened over the last year.

J'accuse. You are living in Trump's version of reality.

(2) Will Trump claim the market correction? And what's to enjoy unless you are transacting?
(3) "Turn around"? Like going from progressive to regressive?

George W. Potts said...

Oui ...

You tell us... You are the Kool-Aid drinker.

When Brian Ross of AbC reported that Trump told Flynn to call Russia before he was elected, the Dow dropped 350 points in a flash. I guess investors must like Trump? Are you an investor?

DEN said...

I think the 350 pt drop was investors feeling that Trump is capable of very bad judgement.

I am very much an investor but I do not do day trading triggered on news events. As for the longer view, Trump has gone all-in on why the stock market moves. I certainly want it to go higher and I suspect that taking all the hobbles of the captains of industry will have some impact. That could be a lot of bigger houses, bigger boats, bigger safe deposit boxes, and more lavish travel. It could instead be pouring money into the pockets of everyman who will spend it on consumer goods. Not likely... And if the market corrects, as history suggests is due, Trump will have to own it.

If you took money off the table, where would you put it? Physical gold? Bonds? Crap return CDs? Cash in the mattress???

I watch Morning Joe. Do me a favor ... watch Tucker Carlson once or twice (Fox) and tell me what you think.

ChillFin said...

I do catch Tucker’s closing bit as the segue to The Five. And he has been on The Five a few times. He quotes something his father used to say: “The beginning of wisdom is to know what an asshole you are.” So wise...

George W. Potts said...

It must have been a while ago cause The Fibe has moved back to its original time slot.

ChillFin said...

It was a while ago, maybe a few months. He was on the Five panel just last week.
