Without sound, he looks even more insane.

(41,999 posts)Is he serious? Signaling to the minions that he can claim whatever he wants? So dismissive of them that he can use them to tweak us? Hes so chaotic and unraveled its impossible to know whats going on. Hes the human equivalent of one of those automatic weapons they love so. Indiscriminately harmful.

He's a cross between a carnival barker and the blowhard at the end of the bar.

(41,999 posts)I cant quote them but he does it constantly. He throws them in at inappropriate times as if hes heard them and they practically drown out whats being talked about at the time.
Honestly, I think hes just barely hanging on and has been for his whole life.

(21,675 posts)It is part of this issue too.

(3,860 posts)They may use the same phrase, but his use of it in the context of confronting China struck me as an obvious connection.

(41,999 posts)Theyre all just beyond. Read about Shen Yun, the Chinese Traditional Dance Troupe that seems to be everywhere all the time. Its Falun Gong and is as crazy cult as it gets.
I cant even pick sides any more.

A proper liar knows he lying and the lies have a purpose, for good or evil.
Insanity is pouring bullshit out and believing it because you said it.
Fozzledick
(3,860 posts)Until now I agreed with those who said that he's a sociopath, not a psychopath; the difference being that a sociopath is clever and self aware enough to conceal his malice and dishonesty behind a slick veneer of apparent normalcy, while a psychopath is unable to control his irrational behavior enough to maintain the appearance of normalcy.
I think we've now seen him cross the line.
