‘Very Troubled And Desperate’ Trump Knows He’s Failing Mentally: Biographer

If you listened to any of the extended rant failed one-term, twice-impeached, convicted felon Donald Trump made Friday regarding his defamation conviction earlier this year, you may have noticed that much of what he said didn’t seem to have any logic or structure.

The free-form whining Trump did as his attorneys stood behind him was the latest head-scratching statement from a man who seems to be losing touch with reality and may well be babbling incoherently when he takes the stage next week for his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

As Chris McGreal of the Guardian notes, Trump knows he isn’t making sense these days, and he’s trying to suggest it’s just his latest campaign strategy, remarking, “I do the weave. You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about, like, nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like friends of mine that are like English professors, they say: ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen.'”

But according to Trump biographer Timothy O’Brien, the truth is that Donald knows he’s slipping and losing touch with reality. It terrifies him, especially since his father, Fred, died as a result of Alzheimer’s disease.

“The reason he’s now offering these convoluted explanations of his speech patterns in his public appearances is because he’s hyper-aware that people have noted that he’s making even less sense than he used to,” O’Brien explained. “What we’re seeing now is a reflection of someone who’s very troubled and very desperate.”

“He’s a serial liar and a serial fabulist. So much of that comes out that by the time you start to fact-check a statement or a tale, eight others have already landed. I don’t think it’s strategic, I just think it’s Trump being Trump. It protects him from greater accountability because it wears people down trying to keep up with him.”

Jennifer Mercieca, author of Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump, said she believes Trump’s nonsensical utterances may also be a last-ditch effort to connect with his shrinking base of supporters.

“He sees himself as someone who is unscripted and not teleprompted, and a freewheeling conversationalist. He wants to be able to feed off the crowd. Another part of it is that his brain is not well-disciplined and it might also just be that he’s unable to maintain a thought and carry it through to his logical conclusion.”

“He’s had a lot of criticism lately for rambling, for being low energy during his rallies, for failing to read the teleprompter properly, mispronouncing words and so his response is to spin it. He says, ‘I have experts, these friends of mine, unnamed others, who are very impressed with my ability to weave.'”

“The Weave” could also be an attempt by Trump to try and make his strange statements seem less deranged and part of a plan. But whatever his ultimate goal, it’s clear that Donald should never be allowed to have control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. He’s likely to order a nuke strike and try to justify it with some perceived slight that never actually took place.

Donald Trump is a danger to himself, the United States, and the world.
