I scatch my head daily wondering if Trump, really, is that stupid not to realize that this shit he

has created is really serious stuff and people are eventually going to jail because of his pea-brain mentality. And he just keeps adding fuel to the fire every day as he opens his mouth.

Anyone else feel the same?

Believe me he's had his pardon Powers explain to him very carefully ...he knows what he can and cannot do.... he also does not care and he doesn't care who gets hurt as long as him and his spawn get out.

disorders.

Up to a point he will exercise concern and care for family but once it is his butt or theirs, well the answer to that is dictated by the disorders he is affected by.

They don't seem to realize that this is really serious stuff. It's hard to believe that anyone can be that stupid.

I don't have to wonder about that any more. Many people knew this before he took office.

Now it's obvious.

Prior to reading Fire & Fury, I wondered the same. After reading it though, I'm firmly convinced Trump and his staff really are actual idiots who, though good at commercial branding, are incompetent at just about everything an administration requires.

There are more than a few passages in the book describing Trump's complete surprise at the reaction by the nation to his removal of Comey as FBI Director. He actually believed it was as easy and as quick as firing the barista at one of his motels, and could not grasp the full range of consequences that would follow.

He's an idiot. Sure, he's a huckster and a snake-oil salesman as well, but first and foremost, he's an idiot.

8. If it doesn't concern trump personally

he doesn't pay attention. All his life he has done exactly what he wanted to do. If he made a mess, he paid someone to clean it up or declared bankruptcy. He has never had to deal with consequences of his actions, therefor doesn't fully appreciate the mess he is in.

He has also never had to be sneaky to avoid getting caught. Which is why he has left a trail of evidence a mile wide' He honestly believes that he can toss all the blame on others and get away with it. As he has done his entire life. He will throw his kids under the bus, while denying any wrong.

Complete and total lack of empathy, coupled with the emotional maturity of an 8 year old.

And incredibly and mind-numbingly stupid.
