Trump brings this old saying to mind:

“You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

I seriously believe Trump is having or is close to having a nervous breakdown because he is in way over his head. I think he knows it and seems to be becoming increasingly unhinged. I’m not saying he is stupid; he is a genius for sure in his abilities to sway people and use language and stagecraft is amazing. He seems to not know some things the president would need to know to be the commander in chief of the United States. During a recent interview when he seemed to not know what the nuclear triad is one example.

You just can’t keep on saying “yes, we are looking into that” and then brag endlessly about how great you are. Then put forward no policy that is in anyway meaningful.
