TFG says he can declassify stuff by thinking about it???

Wow. He can declassify all of America's secrets and top secret info at will. His power of thought is amazing. This is a "super-power" that no other president ever had. If his thoughts are that powerful, why didn't he just create that wall between the U.S. and Mexico by just thinking about it? Why didn't he disappear all Blacks, Muslims, Brown people, Jews, "elitists," and each and every lib, by just thinking about it?

I suppose there are limits to his magical thinking. After all, why didn't he just use it to make the actual 2020 election vote count come out in his favor?

Perhaps there are things that limit his thought powers just like Kryptonite fucks up Superman. Maybe our Constitution, the DOJ, the very concept of legality, not to mention that annoying thing called "reality", all weaken the incredible power of Trump's mind.

Oops, I just used the words "Trump," and "incredible mind power," in the same sentence. That seems to be a cue that it's time to stop speculating on his sanity.

All that bends is the common sense of anyone who thinks this guy could bend spoons with his mind.

okay for children to think that Kreskin was "real." My brother and I viewed it as entertainment.

This guy Trump is not entertaining. As the legal cases close in on him, he will stick to telling worse lies -- if any could we stranger that "I declassified them mentally" -- and I suspect will try to get his cult members to act up.

Magical thinking means he is getting worse.

Keep up the truth bombs, limits, NO, etc.
He is going to crack.

is further proof that he's the dumbest moron to ever get elected, and that remark should disqualify him from ever being allowed to run for anything again.

God. Just think about how stupid that is...and he believes it.

He never had a clue about what the presidency is.

And they're not all the stereotype of uneducated, rural people scratching out a living as best they can. Many of them are middle class and some are even occupying executive suites.

I don't know what goes on in the minds of those who buy into and join a cult. But fortunately, the vast majority of us know bullshit when it's thrown at us.

We hear him say this stuff and think it's silly, or that he is stupid, but his supporters latch on to this crap and think it is significant.

RW media, such as the Hate Radio that blankets America, have been repeating this "automatic declassification" nonsense over and over, shouting it out like a tent revival preacher. This technique of spouting bullshit with absolute conviction, then repeating it over and over, works on certain people.

MAGAs take up this swill and think by repeating it they have scored a "Gotcha!" on liberals.

blocking education funding has gotten us here where many of their voters can't think rationally.

It's a good think we outnumber the magats, but the nation is still on the brink of going fascist.

I suspect strongly that he cheated somehow, and it even caught him off-guard when he actually won.

His INSANITY has never been a question in my mind, but even I never imagined just how psychotic he actually was.

I mean on the spectrum of the EXTREME. Right now, I'd say he's almost at the edge of that spectrum and is an extremely dangerous and cornered animal.

We need to understand this now. We need to stop making fun of his stupidity, his lunacy. Because it really isn't funny as he brazenly, wantonly makes direct calls for violent action.

He's there now, but I mean to a far worse degree. I think he's at the point where he doesn't see he has anything more to lose, and that is the makings for psychotic breakdown manifesting itself into very unpredictable and dangerous ways.
