Donald Trump tries to pass himself off as a "brilliant young man" — and, naturally, it backfires

The thing that continues to blow my mind is that Trump keeps posting furious, barely-literate rants on Truth Social that make him look like an angry eight-year-old and neither his followers nor the press are saying “This guy ain’t right.”

I have seen my share of Internet weirdos, but I have never seen any adult who posted puerile drivel like that. It’s literally demented. And we’re supposed to take him seriously as a candidate for the task of running the country?

If you were applying for a job and the hiring manager came across a social media history that looked like that, you wouldn’t even get a call back, let alone an interview.

The degree to which normal standards of evaluation have been suspended in Trump’s case is jaw-dropping. It’s like he’s the leading beneficiary of an affirmative action program for the criminally insane. This is not normal, and neither is he.
