17. I call this "stream of unconsciousness"
Fri Oct 11, 2024, 10:18 AM
Oct 2024

It's a sign of a severe mental disorder in my book, but then I'm not a mental health professional. I'm just an observer.
My concern is that his babbling may be interpreted by his Maga base as some sort of spiritual manifestation; a form of speaking in tongues.
But it looks to me that he's losing touch with reality, and is constructing an alternate reality because he can't face actual reality.
This is only going to get worse, as he slips deeper into this false construct. It's an extremely dangerous fantasy world he's created; one that could destroy anything he sees as a challenge, or threat to his ever-expanding bizarro unreality.
His babbling is his internal flow of thoughts; all jumbled up and projected out as his truth...one that only exists for him, but he wants to impose on us all.
Right now, he is the most dangerous person on the planet.
He cannot be allowed to be president.
