Quite an interesting perspective we have here. He has trouble sleeping at night, as we all well know, and so in the dark of night when he’s alone, and all the fake-smart people are asleep, those sly little demons start reminding him that he really isn’t all that great, so he has to deflect somehow. Hence, all the weird posting sprees. Aren’t you thrilled to know this? … Yea, me either. Many thanks to Raw Story:
A political guru uncovered the reason behind President Donald Trump’s late-night Truth Social posting sprees during a podcast interview on Monday. David Rothkopf told Joanna Coles, host of The Daily Beast Podcast, that the president’s flurry of posts boasting about his successes has to do with his self-doubt. Trump’s comments about “his accomplishments are his way of affirming himself in the face of his insecurities,” Rothkopf explained.
Wow, Trump has insecurities? Who could have known? There are so many things going rotten in that man’s brain that it’s hard to tell. With the well-known size of his ego, this pretty much hadn’t occurred to me. Color me embarrassed. On the other hand, it certainly makes a bit of sense that he would, hence the younger and younger wives. And the creepy comments about Ivanka. Wow, that makes me twitch.
Trump posted more than 100 times on Sunday, just hours after July Fourth events were hit with bad weather and low attendance at his Great American State Fair. During his posting rampage, he included a list of 75 “accomplishments.” “The first one he started with was ‘Launched Operation Epic Fury, destroying Iran’s Navy’—the very thing that he said he wasn’t going to do, which is get involved in stupid stuff abroad,” Coles said. “And then he goes, you know, ‘Secured the border, it’s down 99.999 percent, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the United States under my leadership.'”
What a bunch of hooey. We did NOT want a foreign war, so how is that an accomplishment? Also, Epic Fury sounds like an FPS video game. Why couldn’t they have used just one word or the other? His NGAS Fair was pitiful. His fireworks were ridiculous. His pond is green. He was on his phone or asleep for most of the fireworks. We still don’t know if he signed the housing bill. I need to create an email specifically so everyone can send in suggestions for Trump’s Not Accomplishments. Yes, I like my lists. They’re fun. BadA$$ Judges is still going, whether or not you care *g*. Oh, I have to remember to add the judge facing off against Blanche from earlier tonight. Should have done one for Trump’s impossible numbers. Ah, well. Moving on from the lists….
“That’s such bulls—,” Rothkopf said. “There are too many to read, but what’s sort of fascinating is what he thinks is important and how he prioritized them, and he prioritizes it with Iran,” Coles said. “I mean, that’s one way to look at it,” Rothkopf said. “To me, this is just neurotic.” “This is Trump sitting there going, ‘No, I’m a good president, I’m doing all these good things. Here’s a list of the good things in case you don’t remember them,'” Rothkopf said. “But almost every single one of them is based on a lie or a misinterpretation of the facts.”
We would have to find said list to confirm or deny what the basis is for each one. No hurry. Truth Social is only for the psychotic. And it costs. It would disgust me before an hour passed. I don’t twit/Xitter. I’m not on Bluesky. And I’m not on FB as a writer. It’s just better that way. I have a couple of lists I keep up. I don’t want to risk getting into one of those places and losing track of my life. It’s already consumed by writing. Wow, did I go sideways from Trump. It’s 1:30 in the morning, and I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. So, I’m a bit loopy. One more to go.
[I did try a search, but couldn’t find anything I could read without a magnifying glass.]
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
