I think I know why Trump is unraveling due to COVID-19: His fear of commitment.

[DetlefK]

He's gonna drain the swamp!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna pass a healthcare-plan that is cheaper than Obamacare and covers more people!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna build the wall!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna have a huge infrastructure-project!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna force Iran to give up nuclear weapons research!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna force North-Korea to give up nuclear weapons research!

Then he declared victory and moved on.

He's gonna defeat ISIS!

Then he declared victory and moved on.



Rudy Giuliani gets it. He understands Trump. That's why they get along so well.

"There is no truth!"

Truth is whatever it needs to be at a given moment. Reality is whatever it needs to be at a given moment. You are free, unbound, without even basic responsibility and commitment to facts.



And then COVID-19 comes along and the party ends. All of a sudden, you are faced with a problem you cannot bully away, you cannot stall away, you cannot sue away, you cannot lie away. You are STUCK with one set of facts.

You, the freest man in the world, who has lived an idyllic life free of responsibility and hardship, you are stuck.

You are trapped.

YOU ARE TRAPPED. YOU JUST WANT YOUR OLD, CARE-FREE LIFE BACK, WHERE YOU CAN WALK AWAY FROM ANY UNPLEASANTNESS ON A MOMENT'S NOTICE. BUT YOU ARE TRAPPED!

1. It's not just the lack of commitment

His whole brand of politics since 2015 is ranting about someone/something. I listened to him in 2015 and he complains about everyone and everything. However, he never once offered any plan and he has no idea how to fix it. He simply just said "he alone can fix it" but you never know or hear how he is going to fix it. He just hit the right tone with people that are complaining, but he never could offer any solutions.

And as president, he is still the same. He keeps complaining about everything and everyone (that doesn't support him) but never offer any plans or policies that actually help or solve the problem.

So when you have no solutions, it's better to not do anything and shift blames to others.

2. Nice rant.

But, no, he has a country in his hands. We are trapped and we should realize that in order to assure his defeat He is fulfilling his own agenda which just so happens to coincide with other ones. This is a big manipulation and I see many people overlay all kinds of associations they make with the character that he projects for that very purpose.

We have to get out of the trap that he has set. He is the mob in office. Mobsters always have a fix if they are in a bind.

I wouldn't imagine General Trump being afraid or concerned that he is trapped. No, he is more free to do what he wants than ever and we will see that in his actions and behaviors before the GE.
