…if anyone is actually in need of an “explanation” about Trump’s economic plans, I’d say that once you understand that everything proceeds from the fact that the president is an omnidirectionally corrupt moron whose desperate need for adulation fuels his every decision, with the added problem that he has, since his first term, become more intellectually infirm, everything starts to make sense. The constant whiplashing between implementing and retracting tariffs, the constant characterization of prosperity as a bad thing, the wild-eyed talk of how economic hardship will finally set us all free—all of this stems from the simple fact that the man at the top is a deceitful asshole with a cranial cavity full of damp parsley.

Yes.

The important bit too is that he’s not just any one of these things, but all of these things.

For instance, I see regular arguments over whether he’s a moron or a schemer posing as a moron. The fact is that he’s both. AND a raving lunatic. AND a brazen thief and con man. AND an emotionally stunted manchild. AND a serial sex abuser. AND a pathological liar. AND a desperately insecure egomaniac. AND a bully. AND a coward.

It would almost be easier to define him in terms of what he’s not. He’s not honest. He’s not honorable. He’s not rational And he’s not sane.

And he’s not fit to hold office.
