I'm wondering more and more about Trump's "we've killed people too" interview...

[First Speaker]

...and the recent spate of Russian diplomats dropping like flies all over the world. Trump is a man whose Id is pretty much on constant display. He can't help but tell the truth, even when it's obviously in his best interests to keep his mouth shut. He probably feels that he can do anything, say anything, with total impunity. The GOP will protect him at all costs, and he feels he can cow the media. So he just keeps on almost-revealing things--telling Putin, as a "joke", to hack Hillary. The I-can-shoot-someone-in-Times-Square quote. So he tells moron O'Reilly that, yes, "we've killed people too" as a riposte to Bill's calling Putin a murderer. And I wonder mightily--did Dolt 45 *know* this little diplomatic purge was on the way? Was that his little way of telling-without-telling? Literally nothing about Trump/Putin would shock me. Nothing is too unbelievable to be true. I don't want to hear the term "conspiracy theory" used pejoratively, ever again.

1. I understand

what you're getting at, but I had to laugh at this line:

"He can't help but tell the truth, even when it's obviously in his best interests to keep his mouth shut."

I think it's more that he can't help but PROJECT ONTO OTHERS the things that he knows are true of himself. Certainly he does not actually tell the truth.

3. Good point--consider my post duly amended...

2. I've said it before

My impression is he's in this for the power and he'll get off killing people.

This is the anti-Jimmy Carter when it comes to making decisions on using force and killing people. I think he is sick and he'll enjoy it. And his core constituents will adore him for it.
