I guess. He is also just ancient, unhealthy and has the mindset of a greedy self-service capitalist. So what he is doing I think could be adequately explained by age, poor health, and not being able to bully Iran into giving him what he wants. He's flailing about like a toddler having a tantrum.

Idk if long covid is as effective as old age and drugs to make someone braindead, that already was braindead before covid

Not really, i could not invent a better representation of 21st century US than him. I think if you simulated 10 iterations of the US, you'd end up with a Donald Trump in each one.

That is why I honestly love him, he is the epitome of Capital, the literally a representive of the most committed of the Bourgeoisie

More like the representation of the decadence, vulgarity and the crookedness, pilars of american culture.

They're the same picture.

No, but they'll likely claim such causes afterwards, when they try to wash their hands.. An Oligarch power-culture with no accountability, and an ideology that glorifies egocentric/ps*chopath behaviour, WILL do the trick by it-self..

they can't admit it was covid, a bunch of their shit is that covid was fake

I think COVID would be at bigger risk of brain damage during that infection.

sure, whatever lead and mercury filled neurons the worms hadn't already chewed through

We need to be careful, here. Certainly he's still carrying childhood psychological wounds, and IMO, a part of this is because the things he says and does are simply how supremacists in general, and wealth supremacists specifically, condition their ~~extensions~~ children to think and behave, at least privately. But Trump, even being old money, for some reason seems to have behaved and spoken in a manner more aligned with the nouveau riche, ostentatious and vulgar. I've read that the Palm Beach residents, specifically those of means sufficient to have purchased Mar-a-Lago (had they wanted it), were very disdainful of the Trump family, and this resulted in narcissistic re-wounding of childhood wounds resulting from his parents, so that when he obtained the means to purchase the estate, he was still snubbed by them, but because money is money, eventually warmed up to them. Trump is reported to have said, "They will all be kissing my..."

Whether this gossip reporting is exactly true or not, they certainly all seem to be, at least publicly.

he has brain damage because he is 80 and lives in the country where its normal to engage in every possible excess with no cognitive stimulation.

[–] bookwhyrm@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

if he did, it doesn't really matter. the president merely has to serve as the public face of the bourgeois dictatorship. even if some other ghoul were at the top, the empire would propably do most of the same things it does currently.
