TWGB: The Notorious Box-Grabber

 

They are his things! His precious! And he wanted to keep the things!  Trump had them, and didn't want to give them over. He was told they weren't his things, he felt differently. How do we know? He keeps telling us:


He wanted them back in 2022, he wants them back now. 

They are his "Beautiful mind" material.  What the whole hell:

During President Donald J. Trump’s years in the White House, his aides began to refer to the boxes full of papers and odds and ends he carted around with him almost everywhere as the “beautiful mind” material.

It was a reference to the title of a book and movie depicting the life of John F. Nash Jr., the mathematician with schizophrenia played in the film by Russell Crowe, who covered his office with newspaper clippings, believing they held a Russian code he needed to crack.

The phrase had a specific connotation. The aides employed it to capture a type of organized chaos that Mr. Trump insisted on, the collection and transportation of a blizzard of newspapers and official documents that he kept close and that seemed to give him a sense of security.

They were his PRECIOUS! And we keeps the preciouses close we does. 


He doesn't seem entirely sane, or aware of the law as we understand the law to exist in this instance. And he doesn't seem to be aware he's confessing to holding onto things because of his insistence they were his things. Regardless of the law. 

Brit Hume was left admitting that the former president seemed "incoherent". And let's be real--we have all moved from one home to another. And when I'm packing up for a move, I put my clothes in some boxes, my important papers in other boxes (like old tax returns, birth certificate, marriage certificate/divorce decree) and books in other boxes--I make sure I know what's what and what goes where to make sure I know where to stow shit when I'm unpacking. That's How to Adult 101--making sure you organize your shit when you pack your shit. The Chief Executive for the US didn't understand how to pack and unpack his shit? 

This feels so, so, what? Entirely typical of Trump but also inexcusable when he held classified docs to the whole degree he did? 

But this interview on supposedly safe ground for Trump also revealed problems a future Trump administration would obviously have--who would work for or with him? 





He never did attract the best people, but the best people he could attract fell out with him when they realized he was a crackpot at best. 

I never thought I would say this, but Fox just demonstrated what CNN did not do with regards to Trump. Baier addressed Trump's fuckups and gave him room to reveal his culpability. He even let Trump know he lost his election, which I guess he doesn't get told to his face that many times.  They are probably doing this to pave the way for DeSantis, but you know what? 

I'll allow it.

Given his propensity to popularized television mafia culture it could be wandering around Brooklyn in a bathrobe so's people think he's crazy

Most meth-heads don't live as long as he has, it's interesting to watch the psychosis unfold

Some people say that as a narcissist, his ego is too big to admit to a fault like being mentally ill, but I think if his lawyers talked up his acting skills (it seems like he wants to be an entertainer sometimes) he would try for a "by reason of insanity" plea just for the joy of the con and thinking he's gotten yet another one over.

But also, yeah, the man isn't okay and he's likely to get house arrest and go totally Howard Hughes.
