Walking around clueless, and letting the oil magnates know how important and powerful he is.
Making them feel second class and insulted.

Also rubbing his own feathers and getting off on it.

I think it was more a nervous reaction on his part. He is used to yes men. He always looks small in front of real power players and big oil are big power players.

If an interaction is not going the way they want, they pretend not to hear anyone else
and start changing the subject. Even jumping around like Trump did, pointing to other things.

It is quite childlike and manipulative.

That, you'll recall, was the description of trump from Rex Tillerson, former head of ExxonMobil and former Secretary of State. Just a reminder that once upon a time, trump had cabinet members who told the truth...

Did you see when he openly read the note handed to him? It was Rubio attempting to help gramps, but he is just too senile to understand that, and instead, read it out loud to the entire group.
The man needs to be removed from office immediately,

to stop this existential threat to the U.S.

It appears some may be coming around. But I am afraid it is not fast enough.

As some liberal talking head said recently - sorry, forget which - under no circumstances could having a mentally competent evil replacement (e.g., Vance) be WORSE for the continued existence of the U.S. than having someone as demonstrably mentally incompetent (and EVIL) as Trump remain in office.

25th amendment - or WHATEVER - NOW.

hours at a time. Former employees have made that point. He is purely reactive and performative in the moment. His shrinking prefrontal cortex is amplifying that dangerous behavior.

as the cause of this erratic behavior?

I have heard Trump is syphilitic, that his wives and his children are infected, in fact his son- and daughter-in-law, as well as the US Ambassador to Greece are also infected.

It is a very sad thing. I have seen it is true, both on the Internet and from talking to people. James Carville also said so, and many people say he is a very "High IQ" person.

Looking out the window over his domain…

It shades yellowed side plates of last thread hair between an off-white center cover.

Looks like a duck’s rear-end, the YouTuber Keith Edwards said.

He has become the worst of the comedic impersonations. The problem is at this point, he is surrounded by people as amoral as himself and he is terrorizing everyone else.

If he's going to use taxpayer money to help the oil companies they have to do something personally for him.
Gold plating a ballroom would grease the wheels of government.
