Looks like Dear Leader Trump is channeling Kim Jong Un:
As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2019
"My great and unmatched wisdom." Let that sink in. He's unraveling in front of the world. One can imagine him looking into a mirror and reassuring himself that he has "great and unmatched wisdom."
Also, threatening to destroy Turkey's economy -- and as he's "done before" really?-- shows a level of delusion and megalomania that's breathtaking.
This is what the mental breakdown of a malignant narcissist looks like. Many have noticed:

I can't wait to see what Stephen Colbert does with THAT tweet.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely.already laughing
Deletedonnah -- It's the laughable statement of a lunatic.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so downthread I expressed dismay at the stalling of Trump's tax returns being released. Another possible victory for justice delayed yet again.
ReplyDeleteAnd now it appears we're all over the map with Syria, the Kurds, and the Turks. DoD is stating that troops will not be withdrawn at this time, no matter what Trump says, and other sources are claiming that Turkey has already begun runs over the border between Turkey and Syria. It's a blessing to have access to the news quickly, but it's really impossible to understand what's going on when we have so many sources and so many contradictions.
We'll just have to wait to see how this latest disaster plays out and hope that cooler heads prevail over the insane idiot in the Oval Office.
