In social media rant, Trump declares that he is mentally stable and "like, really smart"

I guarantee his supporters aren’t losing sleep over it. The conviction with which they can justify and accept his behavior, even when it directly contradict things he’s said and done in the past or their own beliefs, is incredible. I occasionally interact with a few in person and it never ceases to amaze me how quickly and unironically they can excuse or ignore his flaws and bad behavior. This morning a Trump-supporting friend of a friend who has summarily excused and supported Trump’s behavior toward women called me a sexist for saying that Ivanka wasn’t qualified to run for president.

It’s like the backwards version of The Godfather where Fredo improbably rises up the ranks to become Godfather, and it’s America on the fishing boat getting shot in the back of the head by Neri while the rest of the world watches from the window.

I’m still pretty early on in the book but Wolff paints him as one of the three people who was essentially doing the work that is normally reserved for the President’s Chief of Staff.

I like that a lot. But if Fredo (or Sonny, for that matter) did become head of the Corleone Family, Fredo never makes it to the Lake Tahoe scene in Godfather II. Well before the move to Vegas, in the alternative universe, Fredo (as America) and Corleone Family itself gets wiped out by the Barzinis (Russia? The Evangelical Right?) in the finale of The Godfather, instead of the other way around. If there were to be a sequel, we’d instead be seeing the machinations of Richard Conte (V. Putin).

Quick—someone tell Trump that his kids have been calling him names behind his back and watch as he publicly tears them apart before they have a chance to refute it.

I’m trying to imagine why more than one third of the adults eligible to vote in this country saw fit to vote for him. I don’t care whether they were listening to Fox, or the Russians, or even the Daily Stormer. They thought voting for Trump was a good idea.

This definitely happened (or also happened?) in a clinic scene in House. A couple comes into the clinic because his poop is floating; it turns out he’s been cheating… on the vegan diet she’s insisted on for both of them.

This has been a source of wonder for me as well. Were they not paying attention, or thinking, or…what?

Trump’s rant instantaneously obliterates the objective of his rant. A self-cancelling operator (for you mathematicians out there).
