If I were an aide....

"So, Donald, there was some strange white substance in your cereal this morning. Did it taste a little off?"

"Hey Donald, did you get that teapot from your buddy Putin? He said something about it being made out of polonium, not your ordinary teapot."

They feel they must act out to save themselves, and see enemies every where.

I see Trump as dangerous and his paranoia increases that that view.

He is soooo in bed with the Russians and isn't that how Putin gets rid of his enemies? To borrow from Billy Joel: He's in a Russia state of mind.

Oh, and he is a paranoid lunatic so there's that too.

Quote from the book per the article: “The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these jumos up to his father’s office on the twenty-sixth floor is zero,” said an astonished and derisive [Stephen K.] Bannon, not long after the meeting was revealed.

Googled "jumo" and came up with nothing that makes sense.

"A clumsy loser who is incapable of doing normal human tasks". He's talking about Jr walking the Russians from the meeting up to dad's office for a quick meet and greet.

I don't plan to buy Bannon's book, though. Can't stomach the thought of putting a dime in his pocket.

I don't really understand his reasoning. Sure, things are pre-made, but it wouldn't take much to slip a little rat poison into a Big Mac last minute. God, he's such a fucking idiot!

Suffice to say, I do not eat at KFC. I do not eat ANY fast food.

There is no level of disgustingness that is not happening, right now, in a fast food prep area near you.

There's a predilection in my own family.

In the tRumps case I think it has more to do with nurture: bad parenting, affection-starved kids, emotional abuse>twisted psyches. A self-perpetuating cycle. Probably all the grand kids will be monsters too.

Also Donnie's dad developed Alzheimer's, which also seems to run in families.
