Trump Being Trump

​On Sunday, Trump was a guest on Meet the Press.  No, I didn't see it -- though in fairness, about eight seconds that I can watch him at any given time.  That said, I did read about what took place and watched a clip of the last 2-1/2 minutes.  Even at that, I only was able to manage most of the 2-1/2 minutes – though in fairness, that’s only because it was so ghastly.  But I mean that in the best way.
 
And the best way because I hope the video gets seen a lot.  And I suspect it will.  It should.  That’s because it shows Trump as he is, in real time, unfiltered.  Angry, delusional, misogynistic, hate-filled, petulant, insecure, disrespectful, unstable, lack of self-control, unhinged and cowardly.  As he abruptly ends the interview and storms off.  With his dementia in full-blown display.
 
Just what you’re looking for in a president, the most powerful man in the world, during a war he started, with gas prices rising, consumer goods soaring, all while under the microscope of the Epstein files, and an approval of 34%.

It was an appearance that military expert Tom Nichols called "emotionally unstable." 
 
It also begs the question: if Trump can’t handle dealing with Kristin Welker, how can we possibly have expected him to deal with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping?  Which explains a lot.  Including why he had no plan for his attack against Iran, and no exit strategy.
 
It was an interview where Trump insisted that his getting the country involved in the war against Iran did not break his promise to not get the country involved in a war.  It was an interview where Trump cut it off, upset by the noise of rain on the barn they were in when it was his own team that made the decision to do the interview in a barn.  It was an interview where Trump blamed pretty much everyone as being crooked or stupid if they didn’t agree with him.
 
The only thing missing in Trump’s rage fit for the cameras was him rolling metal balls in his hand while madly insisting that he was able to mathematically prove that the strawberries were stolen by the entire crew, all of whom were conspiring against him.  ‘Captain Queeg’ had nothing on his mania.
 
It’s all fixed, it’s all rigged, it’s all crooked.  And you know it.  You all know it.  And if you say you don’t, you’re crooked.  Or stupid.

This is the man who the MAGOPs in Congress have enabled and fully supported and protected.  And a vote for any MAGOP in the Mid-Terms is a vote to continue enabling this man for another two years.
 
And so, because the video deserves to be seen as much as possible, we turn things over for just 2-1/2 minutes, which is more than enough, of Trump showing who he is.
 
Trump.  Being Trump.
