It would mean he has no sinister plan. He will just wallow from mistake to mistake until it all catches up with him.

emotionally, a 2 yr old.

but blundering around when you are the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in the World is very dangerous. Plus, his blundering is going to get us another Trickle Down Deregulation disaster. You can count on it.

By 1943, Churchill and FDR quashed various plots to assassinate Hitler because they realized he was such a horrible tactician yet directed the entire Reich, they were afraid that if they took Hitler out of the equation a knowledgeable military tactician would take over and the war would go on for several more years. Sometimes it's good to have an idiot at the wheel.

And like a four year old believes that you must believe whatever he tells you.

He just says whatever seems to work at that moment for him, no matter what he may have said yesterday, an hour or a minute earlier.

Example: A mother comes into the room to see the the dog, Fido, has chunks of fur cut out of his coat.

She asks her little boy: "Did you cut Fido's fur?"

Her son says: "No!"

Mother: "Did you cut Fido's fur?"

Son says: "No. I didn't do it!"

Mother: "Are you sure, you're the only one in here, who else could have done it?"

Son: ".....Fido??"

It's also his narcissism. I'm not at all conversant with the clinical definitions of various disorders, but I think he's the kind of person to whom no one else on the planet is actually a real human being. He's the only sentient being, in his view, and therefore anything and everything he does is justified.
