Trump's desperation

[Emiliano]

Not in control of himself? A lot of people are mentally disturbed. To what degree and what they do is another story. I don't think you or I have any more or less control than he does. We're all prisoners of our own heads, our own feelings and so forth. I don't think there is any more of an excuse for Trump's actions than me saying something mean to someone here on GS. Sure Trump is a human whether he has any remorse for things he's said and done is unknown. I for a long time thought he was just putting on a show and actually behaved in a different way, then I remembered the "You've Been Trumped" documentary. He's no different now than he was back then, says almost the same thing. The problem is that most people don't know anything about his history and the things he has done publicly that really make him what he is. You don't have to looking for emails to know what sort of stuff he is into.

Speaking of mental illness....most people do have some kind of mental issue, whether it is depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, etc.. Trump is a psychopath, so are a lot of politicians and people who seek power...if you ask me. Who else would want to rule the world. I don't.

I can't explain it all as eloquently or interestingly as they did on the podcast. I'm also in no way interested in taking that stand right now. It's not I'm a fan of his or claim to have some understanding about what's going on in his head. I just found it an interesting perspective, and I think Mann wrote a compelling song.

But I'll suggest the podcast, it's been entertaining and interesting so far to listen to.
