Trump says a lot of stupid things

Just a few years ago, if a child acted like this, the adults in charge would correct him. Maybe punish him. At least give him a timeout. Then, as adults, we'd talk to each other about how we can work together to nurture his maturation process so that may eventually become a functioning member of society.

Now, a certain segment of American society looks to someone who habitually acts like this for leadership and guidance.

There are things I don't like about Trump but there are also things I like a lot. It's a case of taking the good with the bad.
 
He's doing this to distract his lemmings. If he can rile them up to unify against an easy target, then they'll forget that he's an Epstein islander and his administration is eating its own to cover this up. And that his trade deals are crap and/or nonexistent.

And it'll work, too.
 
More stupid things:

King Solomon, King David, and even the Emperor's New Clothes. People get to the level where they can't read the room. The very last scene in the film "Patton" comes to mind where the story is told of the slave reminding the victorious Roman general that all of this is fleeting.

And along those same lines, there's the quote from the ancient Egyptian statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II as recounted in Shelley's famous poem Ozymandias:

>>My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!<<

The statue was found in decaying condition overlooking a landscape of desert desolation. It's an enduring testament to the folly of human vanity and hubris.

As for Trump, his tendencies toward cartoonish hyperbole are well known. Then again, his presidency has already achieved historic status for various reasons.

However, I think he should go a little easier on the grandiose self-praise. It's pretty early and there's a lot of water yet to go over the dam.
