He did plan to make money from this, even boasted about it.

Geeze, Michael. You're rather amazing. Why don't you at least know that Trump has a strong personality disorder that literally causes him to think and react very differently from normal? His abnormal speech patterns reveal recognized syndromes of abnormal cognition to experts. A major characteristic of people with his problem is that they contradict themselves constantly, and he does, but he usually believes what he is saying while he says it.

But you don't have to be a psychologist to clue in, Michael. Aren't his endlessly bizarre, shockingly clueless and soulless streams of thought enough?

Donald's astonishingly ignorant because he's incapable of caring about anything that is not somehow about him. He probably has not read an entire article that is not about him for decades, much less a book. He has no idea what "the generals" do, but he is totally sincere when he says they are all incompetent and he would be the best ever. He is a narcissist, Michael!

He has the emotional age of a child. He has a primitive conscience at best that allows him to worry about being caught but not to feel guilt. He has a very, very short attention span. He has no ideology and no moral code. He cannot care about others except sometimes for brief moments.

Like so many others, Moore really underestimates the depth of his disability. Donald is not only not capable of sustaining the kind of scheming Moore imagines for this long, but he would never knowingly behave in ways he knew would cause people to feel contempt for him. He is a narcissist and must have constant admiration.

Of course Donald would like the almost unlimited power and admiration that in his ignorance he imagined would go with being president, but not the work. We've probably all got that part right.

Rant over, Michael. Try not to get posted here for a while, okay?
