Could be because of his rage at the “deep state” plotting to destroy government and remake it his way. He has no respect for the Constitution. He’s been on the wrong side of the law and was caught.

Using the burning metaphor, if he was rational he'd be doing what forest fire fighters do by doing carefull controlled burns in specific areas. He's like an arsonist setting fires all over the forest.

You’re exactly right. He is enjoying watching the fire! If he were rational he would have said no to Musk and DOGE.

That's exactly what Project 2025 is meant to do.

I don't think the people who put 2025 together realized Trump and those he'd put in charge like Musk were insane. It think they wanted it implemented systematically. They may have wanted to flood the zone and create an overwhelming blitzkrieg. I doubt that creating TOTAL chaos was part of their plan where so many mistakes would be made.

Perhaps that will be their undoing. One can hope anyway.

I have always believed DumDum just wants to burn down America because he feels rejected. He is that defective that the common man be damned. But worse he is setting it up so that even when his term is over the suffering will continue. He is feeling somewhat vindicated because he has the rich bending the knee and the serfs taking it up the wazoo. I can only dream there is real accountability and those in the administration whom are not protected by 'presidential immunity' are tried and found guilty for the illegal actions against their oath to uphold the laws and to humanity. Hoping he doesn't pardon everyone before hand. Since he probably will get away with the many legal & moral crimes, maybe he will go through a very slow deterioration - the kind you know is happening to your body - and experience immense physical pain that reminds you of your mortality.. Then have those around you visit to tell you what a stupid, indecent person you have been and glad to see you suffer the agonies towards a slow excoriating painful death. Happy Mothers day :)

As usual I always appreciate your comments. I think Trump's often wanton seeming actions which result in what I describe as burning down America have deep roots from childhood and are buried in his unconscious. I don't think he is self-aware at all thus doesn't experience the feeling of rejection but this is the core of this kind of behavior. Not one, but both parents rejected him.

Love the Talking Heads. The lyrics make more sense now, Hal. Thanks!
