It's crazy to see Trump is, on the one hand, a crazy old man yelling at clouds while, on the other hand, is basically like a teenager on social media, feeding off likes and comments when he posts something outrageous.

He's long since learned he can literally say whatever he wants, even if clearly untruthful, and never have to answer for it. Reporters ask him questions, but they never fact check him on follow up, or even ask him what we're all thinking: "um, what are you even talking about? This makes no sense". His staffers and sycophants like Rubio, Leavitt are then left to sane-wash his ramblings or, if untenable, just say that the president was obviously joking.

Elected by a populace with whom his d#####y attitude and cluelessness resonates, the whole world now has to suffer through this bizarre social experiment again, but with everything on the line from global security to the global economy.

Trump for his part probably just knows he's gonna be dead in ten years so wants to watch the world burn on his way out (because he was inexplicably put in a position to do so).

Sorry I just had a moment of clarity and felt like writing it out, apologies CP.
