Can we all agree on one thing?

This man who they call Trump, is a moron who is fading fast? I think he is mentally disturbed, but on the other hand he is well enough to cause more chaos. I know he can't be both sane and insane, but he is prove that fact wrong every time he opens his mouth to utter and spew his rhetoric to the world!

he's a skilled con man who's been bullying his way through life for 60 years. he is limited by his pathologies and ignorance, yes. he is not "mentally disturbed" - he knows what he's doing.

he is a world-class privileged sociopath moving the US towards authoritarianism.

He's not mentally ill.

He's a malignant narcissist who is increasingly becoming erratic in his desperation. He must protect himself at all costs. He has no empathy and sees no worth in the lives of others, even those who support him. He will blow up the world without blinking an eye if desperate enough.
I am not exaggerating.

There will be no moment of clarity, or realization he's wrong. His behavior will only get more extreme.

dementia has been manifesting just in the past few years. Dementia doesn't excuse his lifelong or current criminality.

I can agree that he's a moron and a narcissist. I don't think he's disturbed, and I don't think there's anything calculated about him.
