I’m not one that doubted his rhetoric at all.

Alexandra Erin has been writing some really excellent in-depth Trump analyses which are unfortunately in the awkward form of long Twitter threads. Still, worthwhile, IMO.

On Trump’s finances:

On Trump’s (dwindling) mental competence:

(tldr: she gives a thoughtful look at the idea that Trump is flat broke and in massive debt, and how that happened and what it means, and looks at Trump’s statements from the last few days as solid evidence of a decade-long deterioration of his mental state and his literal incompetence)

Knowing kids for whom this treatment has worked extremely well, I’ll focus on the myriad other reasons she’s a terrible candidate for the office. Teaching hyperactive kids to chill out with the help of EEGs and breathing techniques rather than medication is probably the least dangerous thing on her agenda.

Well, clearly there were too many people voting in California making Trump look illigitimate, so a few million of them will need to be declared illegal, at least.

Again, I’m not making any comments about the specific company she’s supporting, as I’m not familiar with their work. I think it’s very irresponsible for them to claim a 12-point IQ increase “based on one study done in collaboration with an insurance company” – that’s incredibly dodgy. But I’m not at all surprised that a great number of children who used biofeedback were able to reduce or eliminate meds for ADHD. That’s what it’s best for.

I mean the reason you run for pres. is so you can have a lovely time and enjoy it, very unfair of the press to not let him relax and feel free of all responsibilities on his luxury presidential vacation term.
