I think at this point, Trump is so confused on how to run this country he doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going.

I don't think he cares if it's helter-skelter. He does what makes him feel powerful -- whether right, wrong, planned, unthought-out, or stupid. He follows Musk because Musk has given him the big bucks. I believe Musk has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder -- that explains his erratic and manic overspending and his need to feel powerful (to the extreme).

I think he has Asperger syndrome. It's on the Autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning. They can be socially awkward and such.

More like a toxic narcissist. Never apologizes, soulless, no class, etc, etc.

He could have other conditions that we are not aware of. He met Grimes ( a musician )one of his girlfriends on Twitter back in 2018. She has autism and the article said they bonded quickly because they had similar interests. Tech, AI, and other things that I forget. She had 3 of of his children. One by cesarean section, and the other two by a surrogate using IVF because he wanted his strong genes used. Grimes and him are fighting over custody and child support. There is more but I forgot somethings. Oh, it was said that he has been an absent father a lot. Also, Grimes was pissed over him parading his son in the WH and in the media the other day. Some people who are on the ASD can be geniuses as is the Musk's case.

Elon has publicly stated he takes ketamine it’s a drug that he uses daily in large doses. That is why you see that weird movements and when he comes out like at the rallies and inauguration. The other day in the Oval Office he was high as hell

Current research shows that Asperger people lack Mirror neurons. Those neurons help a

Human really grok another human being and thus develop empathy. Elon has no empathy. Triump is also lacking in empathy because narcissistic

People have none. So both our leaders feel free to do only what they want to do and all others are dammed to suffer the consequences of not being cared about, even those who voted for Trump.

I don't think so. I think he - or his puppet masters - know exactly what they're doing and they've been planning this, with or without his knowledge for at least the last 4 years. We underestimate these people at our peril. They are truly single minded about accruing all the power for themselves and they are actually doing it. What to do about that reality is the problem we face.

The planning for this coup has been going on for decades, including gradually taking over farm states that uses to vote for Democrats. It has included decades of creating disinformation and culture war issues by pro-authoritatian think tanks, gerrymandering, corrupting religion, and manipulating state legislatures and Congressmen, until they found someone who was a consummate liar and emotional manipulator with a fascist style to work with as President. While they were focused on manipulating the masses into cult-like obedience, Democrats and regular Conservative Republicans were debating issues, but the masses only heard the disinformation from their cult-like leaders.

"including gradually taking over farm states"

Yeah, like Wisconsin, Wisconsin was always a solid blue state.

But because of Gerrymandering it now votes in the State Senate and House Republican.

They have Ron Johnson (ugg) and Tammy Baldwin (yeah!) as US Senators, it is a shame. The State that gave us Wiliam Proxmire for decades ow votes for Ron Johnson, why?

Totally agree with this. I said it in the first reign of the wannabe and this is just the culmination of the years of desperation of wanting to be a part of world domination by this narcissistic pathetic soulless less than human tyrant,who has now crossed into treasonous and complete disgusting behavior.

Confused? Come on, he is guilty af! Our naivete in this country does great harm, as much as the cult behavior. “A republic, if you can keep it.”

I can’t really say what I’d really like to because we both know we’re being monitored but what I can say is I sure hope there’s a lot of Luigi’s out there ready to sacrifice everything for the good of humankind.

The one thing he's NOT confused about is getting his way, hang the consequences, and no matter whom he hurts in the process. This is his whole being, his raison d'etre. He has surrounded himself with people as unscrupulous as he is, and this will be his downfall. The scary thing is, what will he take down with him.

True it is scary, but all of the ones that think they are in power are so corrupt that they will, sooner or later, turn on eachother until there is no one left. May that time come soon!

Maybe so or maybe not, but that isn't truly relevant. The reality is that he just blew up NATO and Europe with it.
