    It could be that he’s tired, old, and really fucking lazy. He wants to be in front of his crowd as it indulges his pathetic need for attention but he just can’t be bothered to meet them halfway by trotting out the same old lies so he just stands there, shuffling a little to some music while they bask in his magnificence.

      Honestly Trump is such a weird bastard that its pretty much impossible to tell, could be either or really. But theres just this gut feeling I have that Trump is breaking down and is fast approaching the Reaper. Especially given that his actions are getting more random, there was a pattern in it before even if it was comparable to my sleeping habits, but now it just seems scattered like the pattern is still there but its drifting and becoming disconnected.

        I’m not going to argue that he’s in decline but I’d argue that trying to remotely diagnose him isn’t helpful.

        He ran for President, he won - Trump happy.

        He ran again and lost - Trump not happy but rigged election!

        Now he’s running yet again and it’s close but he’s losing, crowd sizes are smaller, he’s old and tired, legal issues are piling up, and so on - Trump starting to lose his shit.

            I think the issue is, we all want you to be right. But we’ve been let down by situations like this before. So none of us want to get our hopes up again.
