Maybe both? I was thinking about how to explain Trump’s recent behavior (and actions). It’s disorienting, which may be part of the explanation:

Like you imply, Eric, if you start with the premise that Butler was fake, it’s a plausible explanation. But that is on really shaky ground. Take your example of the “experts” that had told us that a round passing nearby would do more damage. Anyone who has ever put a paper target in front of a berm knows the round puts a fairly clean hole in the paper. It does not tear the paper sufficiently to suggest that it would rupture an eardrum. Or look at any of the vids of rounds hitting ballistics gel, something that approximates human flesh. This is just one of the many lies that was told often enough that many people believe it.
Personally, I’m sick and tired of the pretend collegiality in politics. Sure, red is not good, but blue is definitely worse. Calling Dems “our friends across the aisle” is slapping the faces of all your constituents that do not want the world of Stalin and Mao. Milquetoasts who can’t take their jobs seriously in Congress should not be there.
Re Eric’s video — I vote for the dementia explanation of Trump’s behavior.
Just two years ago, Donnie had his populist act down. He attracted capacity crowds to his rallies by telling people what they wanted to hear.
No longer. Donnie crudely insults his base. He expresses disdain for their high fuel bills. He has lost the popular touch. No competent politician would do this — there’s no benefit and much to lose (such as the R-party majority in both houses of Clowngress).
But the R-party, playing the ever-popular DC game of ‘partisan football,’ refuses either to impeach Trump or to sideline him with Amendment XXV. For this self-serving, unpatriotic shirking of its constitutional duty, the defiant R-party must be severely punished.
Goodbye, Speaker Johnson. Goodbye, ‘leader’ Thune. Y’all come back now, ya hear?
Hi Jim,
Adi made a very good point a few weeks ago how Hitler was controlled by a variety of medications, stimulants, and drugs. If we look at Biden and Trump the characteristics are the same. Yes, both are above 80, but there are still many 80 year olds that function very well in society. Trump has always been a narcissistic and the mean tweets are not new, but now they are completely unhinged.
This is more than the early stages of dementia or aging. The somebodies are in control and Trump is the delusional front man.
The Government by Tom MacDonald. Give it a listen. Chanting to a beat might not be your thing, but just listen. He hit the nail on the head with this one.

Hi Philo,
I like a lot of Tom MacDonald’s songs. He speaks the truth.
Maybe those clot shots he took and billed as “beautiful vaccines” are taking the unadvertised effects on him or his ego has gotten out of control or both.
Why does it seem that no matter who gets elected it never seems to benefit the law abiding, working man or woman?
Hi Landru,
It does seem that way, doesn’t it? And yet, it also seems too many Americans haven’t grasped that, even after the past several years, particularly when the government tried to force Americans to take an experimental COVID vaxx to keep a job they’re working.
Well,if you’re a gun voter, trump has been very good. Lots of good changes, though there is far to go yet.
If you’re voting economics, perhaps a new captain taking the bridge of the titanic as her bow is already under wont change anything? Collapse has been baked in for 113 years and inevitable since the late 1960s.
If you’re voting anti war, im not much pleased at the Iran debacle but I see the logic. Radical Islam is aggressive, expansionist, and an existential threat to American liberty. Iran is the world home of it, with due respect to the Saudi Wahhabi. And allowing an aggressive, expansionist, religious fanatic regime to control the choke point of the global economy was a crazy strategic move and must be addressed.
The biggest issue was Trump trusting the DC and Pentagon social climbers and not doing the calculus himself before going to war. And yes, the jews.
Allowing the aggressive, expansionist, religious fanatic regime of Israel to control the White House and Clowngress is an even worse idea.
Smite the zionites.
“Well, if you’re a gun voter, trump has been very good.”
-I am and that’s true. As disgusted as I am by Trump’s war for Israel and by shooting his mouth off on stupid shit like Greenland and and $5000 checks to vote Republican, his DOJ has been VERY pro-2A. He has also been very good at attacking the trannyism and the blatant anti-white policies of the government with regard to immigration and affirmative action. He’s also gone after Democrat voter fraud in a big way.
So it’s not 100% bad.
However I fear that the dumb shit he does will undermine and negate the good shit he does.
