For the last year I've watched BBC anchors and exports trying ever more frantically to find and assign some sort of thought or strategy to 45's actions and words while trying to disguise what I strongly suspect is rising panic. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY TO FIND, beyond self interest, tantrums, and a hunger to cause as much chaos as possible to get ratings. That's it. That's all there is. No deep thought or strategy, no three dimensional chess; just random impulses, greed, a toddler screaming "Look at me" while he loses at tic tac toe because he can't think even one move ahead.
Pretty much, and it's fairly obvious too, but people want to think that other people are rational beings. Well, some people just aren't.
Look, I didn't always agree with President Obama, but I could look at any given decision he made and follow the basic decision making process and rationale based on publicly available knowledge,
Even Dubya had some thought process behind his actions. He was massively underqualified and unprepared for the job, and sometimes I suspect he knew it, but his actions at least made a narrative sense other than "brb, searching for narcissistic supply".
