Eugene Robinson: "We seem to be at the intersection of venality and senility"

[Miles Archer]

The hosts of “Morning Joe” agreed that Trump was lying about Amazon’s business arrangement with the U.S. Postal Service, and they puzzled over the president’s motivations for driving down the company’s stock price through sustained Twitter attacks.

“I’m left with this question that some are asking,” Brzezinski said. “Is he losing it?”

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson said the president’s behavior was worrisome, regardless of his motivations.

“We seem to be at the intersection of venality and senility, and you know, if it was a Venn diagram, this would be the section where those two circles overlap,” Robinson said. “Because a lot of what he is saying these days, you know, leaving aside for a second the fact that it’s personally motivated lies concocted to damage somebody who he thinks is an enemy, but it also makes no sense. It simply makes no sense, and it has to assume that people have no idea how NATO works or have no idea how business works.”

4. Went Through That Intersection A LONG Time Ago

That is no longer an intersection. It's an entire housing development, and the guy he's talking about isn't the only one that lives there.
