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.

Given what his ex reported, that's my bet. MRA? Check. Racist? Check. Nationalist? Check. Violent? Check. Checkered job history? Check.

He might get a war with China. It will either end with us using nuclear weapons or suing for peace like we did when they intervened in the Korean War. It is impossible for us to occupy and subdue a nation as large and populous as China.

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?

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.

But he always looks/dresses like that. Even in the fricking Oval Office!
