Trump actually thinks he is King of the World.

He tries to look like a King.

And then sometimes his face looks fallen when reality hits. But that fallen look never lasts. His delusions take over.

I think he's gone completely mad.

It was a real blow when Zelenski showed up in a black suit and the people in the audience , all world leaders, clapped for him.

There are moments the mask comes off, and the delusions are transparent.

Perhaps psychiatrists can tell us what to expect.

Small wonder. Instead of being brought down off the ledge, Trump is told by his sycophants he's an infallible, all-powerful, universally loved, Godlike figure.

That has to cause a huge fissure in his delusions. On some level he knows he's a huge out of control failure.

He raises his head and then casts his eyes downward, like he is looking down at everyone around him. I think he is trying to emulate a look Mussolini gave to his crowds.

usually used in a derogatory fashion to refer to someone who is a jerk and is so full of themselves they think they are better than everyone else.

"If someone looks down their nose at you, don't look up to them."

(Gr grandfather b. 1836, d. 1906).

Every time I see a Mussolini pic I can’t get over the resemblance between those two.

Living life where it is better to look rich than to be poor is sad.

and never stopped being president.

He's always been envious of monarchy, hence
the way he talked about, and acted around,
Queen Elizabeth.

But he is enabled in this thinking by the entire
Republican party.

So, yes, it's mad and delusional.. but so is the
whole damm party.

I remember the much posted film of trump barging in front of Elizabeth when they were leaving some event that they both attended. I don't remember the particular occasion, but it was no way to treat ANY lady, let alone an elderly one who also happened to be the Queen of England...

Circuit 111 Linear symbolic reasoning. Some people do not get beyond this stage and are crazy as a drunken goat. They know no bounds. I am reading from Robert Anton Wilson interview with conspiracy digest. I Had the thought that the circuit 111s do not understand anything outside. No concept of space distance and time.
