[quote=Anonymous]People give him way too much credit. He is not clever enough for ulterior motives or creating distractions. He is a toddler. He wakes up every morning and does the thing he wants to do, based on his mood (which is usually foul). He gets away with it or throws a tantrum. Then he wakes up the next day and does it all again. There is no bigger plan. He runs on impulse, reaction, and revenge.

When one scandal is pushed out of the headlines by the next, that is not by his design. It is not meant to be a distraction. It is simply that the next bright, shiny object got his attention, and he reacted.

He is not intentionally crashing the markets in a grand scheme to benefit his friends. He doesn’t know enough about the market or economy to do this. If it is not something that directly benefits/hurts him, or that he doesn’t understand how it will affect him personally, then he is simply disinterested and does what he is told.

He spends most of his waking hours focused on hurting anyone who has ever crossed him. The vast majority of his governing is centered around this.

He loved being a tv star more than anything. He is trying to re-create this era by turning the country into a giant episode of The Apprentice. He felt like he was good in that role. He knew that the chaotic episodes got the best ratings. So he constantly creates chaos to up his ratings. He sees himself as America’s host. His staff and cabinet members are his contestants, always having to prove themselves worthy for a role they are not technically qualified for. Like on the show, they are given tasks, and he advances them or eliminates them based on how they did, how much he likes them, and/or how much they praise and flatter him.

His other motivation is fitting in with the (perceived) cool kids, who are actually the schoolyard bullies, and they are just using him to get what they want. He is their useful idiot. He will do what they say because he wants to be in their clique.

All that said, the people around him ARE clever enough for ulterior motives and creating distractions. So there is definitely a lot of this happening. But please stop giving Trump credit for this. He’s too simple-minded. [/quote]
