(6,931 posts)Trump is a malignant narcissist megalomaniac, but Bannon is something entirely different. I don't know anything about psychology but it's clear this guy is off his nut.

(6,931 posts)that he has the pee tapes? Good grief, Trump, just admit you paid hookers to pee on you or a bed or whatever. The fucking world is at stake. My God.
In other news, someone just said the Koch bros came out against the Muslim ban. Does that mean Bannon has gone rogue?

(9,808 posts)Unmotivated is probably the better word, and may not be fully conscious. If he's got reduced arterial flow to his brain (not at all uncommon in men of his age and stature and habits) then his ability to summon gumption to get shit done is reduced. And chronic, low-level cerebral hypoxia hits the executive function and emotional regulation sectors of the brain first, because those can be reduced (for a while) without endangering survival.
But I'd say it's a combination. Yes, that unmotivated, yes, there's material, and yes, this is what a Rasputin looks like in real-time.
