[John Galt]

believe me, i know how to troll, and he is certianly trolling

"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart."

he gives it away here with overreach

the man knows how to work his audience. he knows how to troll all who hate him while also talking himself up like a cheeky african dictator

This isn't trolling because trolling is self aware.

He is just a mentally deficient degenerate.

He is trolling everyone and he is a mental deficient degenerate. It's why he pardoned the sheriff during Hurricane Harvey because he thought the ratings would be higher.

You're both giving him too much credit. He is entirely a creature of impulse and reaction. Like a goldfish. Or a dog going, "SQUIRREL!"

I'd originally thought that all of these insane antics were part of a strategy, setting up a contrast for an eventual pivot, pandering to the ignorati, etc etc. But I was wrong. There's no plan. He's just a f**k idiot lashing out like a child without forethought or strategy. He literally believes himself a genius and has concluded that whatever his first gut instinct is must therefore be a brilliant response and so he just belts it out.

Maybe I should read that book. By all accounts, everyone in the White House literally manages him as if he were a tempestuous child.

I think there is something to be said on writing and selling a book this early in the presidency. I think he saw an opportunity to grab sales while Trump is unpopular and jumped on it.

If you think he’s trolling then you’re still delusional in that you think he has that mental capacity.

This is stupidity born of narcissism. He’s not being smart. He’s not a genius. He’s actually really not trolling...

The sooner you accept this the sooner things will make more sense to you.

[fstarcstar]

Kane, you are a prime example of Trump trolling. Don't kid yourself.

[John Galt]

"and being, like, really smart" is quite clearly trolling. he realizes how absolutely insane ya'll get about him saying he has the best brain and whatnot, and now he's calling himself a genius?

with the best trolls it is hard to tell if the trolling is going on. oh i'm sure he probably thinks himself very smart, but he's still trolling with that comment. together with the lead up of a long list of things that basically says he's teflon and na-na-na-na-na you can't touch me, it's f**k trolling the shit out of ya'll

it is dangerous both to think he's playing 8D backgammon but also that he's a blithering idiot. i think he has some level of dementia but it's low. it makes it so if he goes off script, he's going way off script. twitter is part of HIS script, even if it's not his handler's script, so i do think he is cognizant of what he is doing, while he sits, shits, and tweets. in no way should he be the president of the united states, and he is a dangerous man because of his demntia. but this doesn't mean he's not trolling you

Given the various firsthand accounts of his professional and personal behaviour in the White House and in his prior work, your conclusion is a hard one to defend. Everything we've heard suggests a mentality that is essentially childlike. This isn't an adult contemplating the reactions he can get, this is literally how he views himself and his position in the world. Fundamentally no different than that kid bragging about his high IQ.
