I woke up to this at three or so this morning.
It’s a kind of raw account of a Trump speech, a rather raw Trump speech. It’s from Washington Post who aren’t Trump fans but they are a responsible source.
It kind of takes your breath away. You wonder again and again how he happened, how he got where he is.
I’m embarrassed. I’m scared. I think it can’t be happening. But it is.
And there somewhere in the middle of it, he made a certain amount of sense.
I won’t be terribly surprised if my overseas friends can’t read it.

I just read that. First thing I do every single day is look at news headlines to see if trump did anything dangerous or stupid overnight. Ok, time to get up and start the day.

What is bad is that there is always a kernel of truth in his craziness.

I can't say I'm surprised...I've thought Trump spouted BS every time he opens his mouth. Pathological liar and manipulator. I've met people like that. It's disarming when you expect a certain honesty or at least an acknowledgement of reality and then the person ignores that. Once I know about the lying pattern I don't listen anymore. But that's on a personal level. With a president like that in power it will probably take years before people decide if his lying benefits the US or not.

Hopefully he will only serve his term and we will get someone better . Praying.

When you say "in the middle of it he made a certain amount of sense" do you mean that Trump shows people there are benefits to lying? Greater benefits to lying than trying to be fair and truthful?

I guess I mean that he made no sense - but then for a little bit he seemed to be 'defending' the US. Whether we need defense is something else but there are people who probably believe we do - or at least he is on 'our' side when he attempts it.
Sometimes the longer someone talks - wherever - we get worn down a bit.
I really don't understand why he is negotiating tariffs - I thought that was done by committees or something. He seems to feel he can do anything. He doesn't have to behave in any way thought to be human.

Trump believes he is acting in the US' best interests...I do think that.

Fair and truthful aren't in his vocabulary.
Did you read his speech?
I thought there was a part that would have appealed to his audience even if it wouldn't have to us. Like he's not totally crazy which is what he seems.

I didn't read his speech. I should do that.

Not that I believe there is a great deal of truth in diplomacy.

I could read it ok. Beggars belief how he got where he is today.
