After yesterday, aren't you wondering WHY?

Let's take pure evil off the table and stipulate he is at least partly evil and crazy.

Is it as simple as he doesn't want his legitimacy questioned?

Or pure guilt he's trying to coverup?

Is he being blackmailed? Trussian loans? Prostitutes?

Does he really care about nuclear weapons ? Read article last night about a 1987 interview where he was well versed on subject and wanted to help stop them. His ignorance now seems inexplicable.

Or is it serious personality flaws and dementia of some sort.

Think news should dig up more clips to compare to. Not for flip flops but for speech patterns. He was seemingly informed and we'll spoken 20 years ago.

This was all done by him for a purpose. And it was a bigger purpose than lifting sanctions. And I fear we are about to find out what it is.

His own basic personality was, is, and will be extreme narcissism.

That hasn't and won't change. Everything he does should be viewed in this context. He thinks he's right and nothing will change his mind. Even if his mind does change on any topic, he still thinks because he is who he is, he's right.
