I wonder if anyone is telling our compulsive idiot leader where he is heading. Maybe he thinks his will can shape anything, or that he can squirm out of any kind of massive failure and bankruptcy, where we know he has had practice, but he's also been the author of his own catastrophes before and gone into kiss-up mode. He seemed to be there with Xi and he took plutocrats with him to run interference.
It all reeks of weakness. Donald has had to grovel before but he does it differently, looking down his nose at you while he's at it. I'm not a psychologist but I think I understand compensatory posturing, which rests on a kind of thermodynamics of the psyche, an inborn accountability that's in effect of you're not a psychopath and maybe even then. It suggests Donald knows he's a worthless piece of shit.
He creates desperate circumstances for himself because, confoundingly, it's stabilizing to him. He's such a wreck inside externalizing it gives him an opportunity to fight that battle. Laws and customs, down to the level of etiquette, are supposed to enable societies to function with such people because they are inevitable. You keep them in line and try to channel their shit or jail them if they're bad enough.
Trump should probably have been jailed but with the right kind of pushback earlier who knows. Money can insulate someone from almost anything and it did with Trump. Why, this leads me to ask, would a society empower such a piece of garbage? Averages should apply and keep it from happening. There has to be a mass psychological injury. Like, let's say, a Civil War. Americans are figuring this out.
Too late. The damage has been done with more to come. Yes, they want to destroy the county. Look at the electoral results just in. Trump is still getting his way in places. I think we need to understand it to react appropriately for once if we have the chance to run things again. They're fighting a war. Against us. People are shocked at these deep-south states attacking voting rights. I'm not shocked.
Talk about bond markets and interest rates is fine but it's in the realm of expertise and they're pulling us out of there. What does expertise mean if it applies to destruction? And we're heading there. Nobody cares about it when the real suffering begins and Americans have forgotten what that's like. So we're playing brinkmanship with seriously bad shit. Maybe biggest case of FOMO ever is in store.
I say this out of respect for the bond markets. Not as sexy as stocks but I believe they're the thing you really don't want to screw up. And little Donnie's baggage could take us there.
