#USPOL, TRUMP
Man, I just watched Trump's deposition video from the E Jean Carroll trial.
His brain is simply mayonnaise. He doesn't recognize Marla Maples in a photo (she was his second wife, no biggie), tells the attorney who deposed him that he doesn't find her attractive, and says that he'd never rape Carroll because - "she's not his type". Not because he'd never sexually attack anyone, oh no, just because... She's not his type. This is absolutely crazy. That guy's brain is mush.
If it would have been a video of anyone else, I would have said that this elderly man needs some serious medical evaluation.

@0xamit I think the thing about #Trump is that he's one of those celebrities who has spent so much time in character that he becomes the character.
And his character is this completely spineless, reactionary mouth that does nothing but respond to audience reaction.
You can see it when he says something in front of a crowd that the crowd doesn't particularly like, so he quickly pivots, says something they do like, and then doubles down on that path.
The problem is that he's become so practiced in constantly pandering to an audience that he's forgotten how to speak for himself, and that's what you're seeing here.
It's not that his brain is mush as much as his brain has been trained to work the crowd, so he's sort of lost without one.
