Donald Trump’s repetitions are worth listening to, because they reveal his thought processes — to the limited extent that such things exist. He talks endlessly about “high energy” and “low energy” and always has. He started that with Hillary Clinton back in 2016 and of course carried it onto “Sleepy Joe.” His age peers are all relics, tottering around and on the verge of keeling over, but he, by contrast is a medical and athletic marvel, who just made a hole-in-one on an 180-foot green, against some of the best golfers in the world.

Now hold that thought in mind and then consider this one, because the two are going to match up. Just last week Trump was saying that the only factor that could keep him from running in 2024 would be his health.

You always have to talk about health. You look like you’re in good health, but tomorrow, you get a letter from a doctor saying come see me again.

‘That’s not good when they use the word “again,”‘ he told the Washington Post, adding that he was currently in good health.

Doctors who study ageing and presidential health, have suggested that Trump could be a ‘super ager’ – fit and active into his 80s, although his obesity and a family history of dementia could shorten that timeframe.

Here’s what I think is going on and yes, we’re going to get Occam’s Razor out of the drawer. Trump has never been physically or mentally up to the job of president. He’s a campaigner. He thought that was as far as it would go, would be the 2016 campaign and then continuing the campaign from the safety of a Trump TV studio, with Steve Bannon scripting everything. You know how that turned out.

Trump goes on about “high energy” “low energy” because he’s got no energy himself. It’s a fact that he said that he had no idea the job of president was so much work. He was utterly clueless. Barack Obama realized that early on and played Trump whisperer, guiding him along and helping him wherever possible at the beginning. Even Trump himself, never one to express gratitude, because after all, he deserves everything, right? acknowledged the graciousness of both Barack and Michelle Obama to himself and Melania.

I believe that in fact Trump dreads the idea of a return to office, except for the fact that this time, he wouldn’t even bother to fake it. He would just flat out do nothing and then say, “What are you going to do? Vote me out?”

In any event, listen to his latest “high energy” drivel.

Not be play Sigmund Freud here, but I think his “high energy/low energy” comments are an acknowledgement that he’s in a game which is too much for him and it’s wearing him out. The presidency certainly did. Trump was famously never in the Oval Office before 11:00 a.m. and then his calendar was taken up with “Executive Time” nomenclature for goofing off and watching TV.

He was continually golfing and when he went overseas or up to Canada for various world meetings, he was notoriously late to things.

The man never worked a day in his life and then he ended up in the world’s hardest job. I don’t think he wants the job back. I think he knows he doesn’t have the stamina for it and all he wants to do is collect donations until the very end and then he’ll decide not to run. Maybe he’ll claim it’s health reasons. Maybe he’ll make a liar out of Ronny Jackson, who said he could live to 200.

  1. Oh, I think he wants the job alright – so he can grift some more and stay out of prison for tax fraud. I agree with you, if he did get back in, he would do what he did last time – give more tax breaks to the rich, yammer about the wall, and insult everyone who doesn’t have their head up his ass.

  2. The other thing that he would do, would be to rig the system, so he could stay in office indefinitely and grift money every way possible.

  3. What terrorists is he babbling about? The people getting on those planes were checked and rechecked – better than the former guy’s family employees.

  4. Possibly he was referring to the populace who were so desperate to escape what was coming, that they were forcing themselves onto the planes, into the wheel wells, anything that protruded, perhaps? The sight of them falling to the ground after takeoff, was heartbreaking.
    It’d be just like him, praising their ‘energy’. even as he knew they were doomed. We’d turn our face, he’d clap & look for more.
