Dissecting Trump’s Brain At This Point Is A Waste Of Time

Because his mental acuity doesn’t matter; never really has…

It doesn’t matter if Trump thinks he’ll be “reinstalled” as President or not. It doesn’t matter that Trump shut down his blog due to lack of interest. Or what his pants look like. All the effort spent over multiple news cycles recently trying to externally pick apart the former President’s various whims and motives is just a waste of time. Forget about his mental health: it’s probably not good for your health.

What matters is on January 6th, immediately before the insurrection at the Capitol, Trump incited the crowd by telling them:

“We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

But guess what? We’ve still got a country.

So by golly, Trump’s going to do what he can to make his wish so. Still. That’s what matters.

And that is not dependent on the state of his brain. Because as on January 6th, what he’s saying to his followers is “you’re going to do it for me, whatever my status, or shape I’m in”.

I’ve always argued that Trump’s assertions, statements, and lies should be understood as wishes. Like that the virus would go away; disappear. Soon…
