President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The stock market won’t dive. Haven’t you heard? We live in upside-down world.

 

We all know Trump is a moron with less comprehension of science than your average kindergartener. But I think the mental gymnastics his White House officials attempt in order to rationalize his idiocy would make Nadia Comaneci envious:

• A different senior administration official, who has been briefed on the president's hurricane bombing suggestion, defended Trump's idea and said it was no cause for alarm. "His goal — to keep a catastrophic hurricane from hitting the mainland — is not bad," the official said. "His objective is not bad."
• "What people near the president do is they say 'I love a president who asks questions like that, who’s willing to ask tough questions.' ... It takes strong people to respond to him in the right way when stuff like this comes up. For me, alarm bells weren't going off when I heard about it, but I did think somebody is going to use this to feed into 'the president is crazy' narrative."
