@darsan…sorry, but trump’s mental illness is real, hundreds of mental health professionals have said so publicly. Your assumption of his “normality” is a meaningful problem across the country. By ascribing normality to trump, you define down and legitimize mentally ill behavior that should be regarded as toxic and NOT within the bounds of what we call sane. The fantasies, the lies, the extreme narcissism, the attention deficit disorder, the racism and misogyny, the inability to maintain staff, all of it comes from the mental illness. He has no control. He cannot stop it. If you expect it to abate, or part of some grand, clever scheme…think again. Try to grapple with these facts because they constitute the only lens that makes sense to use with the deeply sick man.
Until this awareness of the reality of mental illness sinks in, people will continue to treat trump as if he were sane. They will continue to analyze his behaviors and words for coherence and strategy. That’s a fool’s errand. There is no trump coherence or strategy. Nothing he does is sanely motivated. Get used to it folks. It won’t stop.
