When are pundits gonna stop trying to make sense out of the nonsensical, irrational

things he says and does? After his speech, Rachel, Brian, Tweety, etc. all asking "Why did he say this? What did he mean by that? That didn't make any sense."
Analyzing what he says and does to try to figure it out; attempting to apply logic. Even the really smart ones like Rachel and Lawrence fall into that trap.

You can't make sense of out what stable geniuses say. It is crazy to apply reason and logic to what crazy people do and say. Because there is nothing logical or reasonable about it.

The main character in the movie, a simple gardener, is mistaken for a genius, just like Trump’s words are mistaken for something of importance.

He is always full of shit. How anyone in their right mind can attempt to normalize him is just bizarre to me.

Said they should stop trying to analyze anything he says because nothing he says means anything to him.

Projecting an image of strength:

"I'm going to build that wall."

"Scary people are coming for you and I will protect you."
