CSotD: The Wide World of Whatever
Ann Telnaes provokes a response of “Well, yes, but no …” I believe I’m done questioning whether President Trump is a deliberate liar or genuinely believes the absurd statements he makes.
In the past, I have compared him to OJ Simpson and Jeffrey MacDonald, both of whom denied murders they clearly committed. I think their denials stemmed from a trauma-induced alternative reality that was easier to accept.
Although I’m not qualified to psychoanalyze the President, I find it hard to believe he truly thinks he graduated from Wharton with honors or was first in his class. However, I am willing to accept that he may believe refugees seeking “asylum” means they were previously confined to mental hospitals, and I remain neutral on who he thinks pays tariffs.
What matters less to me is whether he considers an early dementia test an intelligence test. I have seen videos of him appearing confused in Japan, and I share concerns others have raised: while reporters scrutinized President Biden for signs of aging and confusion, they seem to be giving President Trump more leeway regarding his mental state.
To accuse him of deliberate lies assumes he can tell fact from fiction.
Ultimately, the issue is less about intentional deceit and more about the current state of his awareness and cognition.
Author’s summary: The text reflects on President Trump's statements and mental state, highlighting skepticism about his beliefs and the differing media scrutiny compared to other leaders.
