As usual, Neera is right. A pearl of wisdom, Occam’s Razor applies with special force to Trump. His aberrant conduct can be ascribed to one of two factors or, usually, both: he’s nuts, and he’s guilty. Those are the simplest explanations, and almost invariably correct.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

Democrats want to keep the 2017 tax cuts for people making <$500,000/yr, and to let taxes on people making >$500,000/yr revert to 2017 levels. This doesn't seem so radical. Indeed, it seems to be what enlightened defenders of democratic capitalism would support.

Trump is a narcissist. Trump is a sociopath. These are disorders. These disorders own him. That's all the explanation you need. If the media wants to understand him - really understand him - they have to view him through his pathology - he is a walking talking cocktail of behavioral disorders.
The Shallow State (@ourshallowstate.bsky.social) reposted
The media keeps trying to understand Trump's fixation on tariffs. In doing that, they normalize him. Allow me: 1. He likes how tariffs make him feel: he bullies, imposes his will, makes threats, removes threats, plays God. 2. He likes that new $ goes into the Treasury which he sees as going to Him.

Trump is trying to change the conversation from tariffs, the economy, and the Hegseth scandal. Any conversation about him running for a 3rd term is still 2 years away. He is trying to distract and get the media off of the headlines currently dominating the news cycle. Don't take the bait.
