>> Trump is a liberal! <<

Wrong. The man is most certainly not a liberal, he’s most certainly not a conservative.

He’s simply a mentally unstable individual and a pathological narcissist, a man with no fixed ideology other than the worship of his own personality.

Put another way, Trump is to political principle as reality TV is to reality — which is to say, there’s no significant correlation, no direct correspondence, no meaningful connection.

I don’t think Trump even knows what he’s going to say until he opens his mouth and something spews out. But he’s an entertainer and what is rolling around in his head and comes out is what would be most entertaining - in this case, he obviously channeled some leftover Bush Derangement Syndrome.

It’s curious that he doesn’t mention the fact that what really ruined Iraq was not the war, but the fact that the Democrats undermined the restructuring and pacification process and finally let chaos come back by reducing and withdrawing our military way too early. If Iraq had been stabilized and had become a country governed by the rule of law and thus with a functioning economy, things in the Middle East would be a lot different now. And that was the original objective in going into Iraq.

Aside from that, Trump’s bellowing sounds like the battle of the dinosaurs, with he, Clinton and Bernie rehashing their old hate-GOP fantasies from back in the day.

“He’s simply a mentally unstable individual and a pathological narcissist, a man with no fixed ideology other than the worship of his own personality.”

And who are YOU to make that conclusion? Are you a psychiatrist? Do you know him? Or is this just what you need to believe to justify your support of another candidate?

Best description of Trump ever!!!

Can I quote you on that?

“He’s simply a mentally unstable individual and a pathological narcissist, a man with no fixed ideology other than the worship of his own personality.”

I would only add that Trump takes any perceived insult personally. Gets obsessed over it.

You need look no further than his insane twitter war with a female tv reporter,

Or, perhaps his wild lashing out at Jeb Bush.

You’re giving him far too much credit. He’s much simpler than that.

Trump is a salesman, in the business of selling Trump. His only interest is increasing his brand. Every tweet, every Facebook like, every vote; they’re all the same to him.

He lies not because he doesn’t know what’s true but because he knows what each audience wants to hear. And like any good salesman, he tailors his pitch to adapt to the mark. And sadly, it’s working on too many of us who really ought to know better. But like the best of salesman, he’s only selling what we’re so desperate to buy.
