The Method To The Moron's Madness

Last edited Sat Oct 14, 2017, 03:25 PM - Edit history (1)

The conventional wisdom about President Donald Trump is clear enough: He’s an infantile, ignorant moron surrounded by a shrinking political base, a phalanx of enemies who used to be friends, and more investigators than the FBI Academy.

Washington reacts with alarm to his inflammatory tweets, and lately has made a parlor game out of chronicling his outbursts of anger, dismay and ignorance, as news organizations offer a cascade of vivid in-the-room portrayals of an out-of-control boy king.

Democrats hope against hope that he will be impeached over Russia. His approval rating is lower at this point in his term than any previous modern president’s. His former consigliere Steve Bannon has reportedly said Trump has only a 30 percent chance of lasting a full term.

But by the end of this week, it was clearer than ever that if Trump is a moron, he is a moron on a mission ― and with more method to his madness than his enemies understand or want to consider. The tweets are a useful distraction ― a kind of air cover for his carpet bombing of federal policy and programs.

which have been lurking at the perimeter of the Political Spectrum since Nixon. This Slug and his operatives are going to continue as long as they can make a buck of this method.

We all new,Donald Trump was a bomb with lit fuse. He is cornered and now he will lash out at anyone or anything he thinks will stave off exposing his true person. Hit back fifteen times more harsh than he feels he was hit.

And the Republican Party will let him run until every Obama,FDR,and Clinton law program is destroyed or hamstrung as to make it uncooperative.

of the crazy officer they intend to assassinate in Apocolypse Now. I think our current military officers would say the same thing about the fucking moron.
