Lots of happy BS being written concerning whether Donald Trump is smart or not; whether he is sane or not. Think of this as “impeachment porn” and you’re not far wrong.’’ So-called “progressives” are using the attacks for something like sexual gratification. They’re like Confederates dreaming about a victorious Union disintegrating.
Meanwhile Trump, with great insight into what drives others crazy, intentionally trolls them and falls asleep grinning. Hindsight may show he actually is a stable genius. His behavior remains very consistent over time, which suggests “stable” and he gets his way a lot, suggesting much-better-than-average insight into others’ motives and pathologies.
Trump ran for president because he knew he would really enjoy the campaign and the office. He does things purists think gauche, because they are fun. This is probably the manner in which he is most like Teddy Roosevelt. He goes for the gusto, pretty much wherever it takes him, and we’re along for the ride.
