Even for him, this is stunning.
Their use is apparently quite common & even Trump has used them, but now suddenly, that's 'unacceptable.'

He's just making up rules to suit himself as he goes.
He's a confidence trickster.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

And one who causes suffering for others; he's now sent immigrants awaiting deportatilon to San Salvadore. They're apparently going to prison due to the US Govt claim that they're criminals.
One of the harshest prisons in the world, it allowa no visits, no recreation & no eduatioon.
He may be an idiot but he's causing a great deal of harm.

He's a master of deception and he doesn't care about anything but money and power and how he appears to everyone else.
I think that may be his weakness, he wants to be feared and admired for ruthlessness and remorselessness.
He won't like being truly laughed at and mocked.
He hasn't really grown up and realized that money and power are passing things just like everything else.
I suppose he just wanted to be President, it is an achievement.
I suppose he is not really wise and lacks knowledge which is another weakness I think.
I think he has always steered away from self knowledge and enlightenment because then he would see himself as we see him, a parody of a wise experienced man.
I think he wants to be truly valued but he is not loved at all just followed as a despotic leader by MAGA types.

I suspect that that's probably true. How to remove him without too much harm, & before he causes too much more harm, is the problem.
And then it becomes how to fix the damage he's done...

He's just rescinded a subsidy on diabetic medicine, insulin, reminds me of when he said he hated to pay overtime rates and would get in a new team at standard rates rather than keep the original team on, what a scrooge, disgusting penny-pinching.

I think he learned his business techniques from his Dad Fred who also was a tough businessman.
Slum landlord through the depression years in New York I think.

That Diabetic meds thing may well come back to bite him, & the sooner, the better.
I read the book about him written by his niece, & his dad was defintiely a landlore.
