You know, with every passing week it gets harder to believe that there's any strategy behind Trump's moves, and it gets easier to believe that he's just a dumb, extremely hypocritical, easy-to-manipulate narcissist. I think people feel better when they try to make sense of this clusterfuck by assuming that there must always be some kind of plan here, that the guy in the oval office must be a somewhat smart and capable man (even if his views/opinions are totally detestable), because he did manage to win the election and shock everybody. But after seeing interview after interview, rally after rally, his press conferences, his tweets, his actions, the way he interacts with his staff, etc... one can't help but arrive at the conclusion that this guy is just a fuck. There's a mountain of evidence to support this and barely any evidence to support the contrary.
We're only 6 months into this administration and here's what has gone down so far:
- On day one, sent out his press secretary to outright lie about the size of the inauguration day crowd.
- Ordered a travel ban out of nowhere that prevented people with visas and students from entering the US.
- Said ban was quickly blocked by a federal judge.
- Fired the attorney general after refusing to defend said ban.
- Fired the FBI director after he allegedly did not agree to drop the Russia investigation.
- Fired his press secretary.
- Fired his chief of staff.
- His national security adviser had to resign 24 days in.
- Criticized his new attorney general for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.
- Claimed that Obama wiretapped him. Gave no evidence.
- Implied he had secret recordings of white house conversations. Gave no evidence.
- Pulled out of the Paris climate agreement.
- Revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister.
- His son admitted contacting Russian lawyer who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton.
- Attacked a female journalist on Twitter, saying she had low IQ and was bleeding from a facelift.
- Has spent 1/5 of his presidency at his golf club, despite criticizing Obama for playing too much golf.
- Held numerous rallies for his supporters as well as a fundraising event for his 2020 campaign.
- Spent little time discussing healthcare, despite blindly defending the "great" GOP health plan at every turn.
- Has stated that "the media is the enemy of the American people" and "the opposition party".
- Announced ban on transgender people serving in Military.
- Took credit for new coal plant opening that was actually approved during Obama administration.
- Blocked CNN and other news organizations from white house press briefings.
- On North Korea: "After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy".
