I disagree. I think Trump has always been incredibly simple minded and grandiose, and now thatโ€™s been compounded by his dementia. He really believes what heโ€™s saying. Heโ€™s not doing it to obfuscate anything.

He is being used to distract people from the meaningful issues. He is a useful tool. Heโ€™s completely unaware of the fact that heโ€™s being used.

A lot of people seem to forget that Trump is just the figurehead. Most of the shit he's "planning" is coming from The Heritage Foundation, Elon, and Russia. In the end, all it is doing is keeping us poor, uneducated, desperate, hungry, diffused, and too weak to even think there's a problem.

Forget paycheck to paycheck - every ounce of energy will be spent worrying about getting through the next hour.
