Individual-1 employs this tactic every time he tweets. Highly inflammatory emotional language meant to disrupt and short-circuit rational thinking.

I think everything he tweets is carefully scripted by his Russian handlers.

1. Don't need to read it. It makes perfect sense.

And people like Trump learned it from a young age.

2. Nah! He was born that way

It just happens to fit Putin’s plan perfectly.

3. I disagree. He isn't that smart. Did you read the article?

His personality and penchant for performance make him the perfect vehicle to deliver this type of propaganda. He's merely doing as he's told.

4. Well he's been doing the same thing since childhood.

He’s a Malignant Narcissist who only does things to enrich and promote himself. Decades ago he used his version of creating chaos and enmity among others for self benefit. That’s the one thing he was successful at.

Right now he is backed into a corner of his own making and the only thing he is consumed with is to destroy his enemies any way he can. He’s having a temper tantrum to destroy everything just because he can.

Putin is just helping him be himself.

They have a stink.

And yes, Trump’s tweets are decidedly Russian in their conception and composition.
