Some of the actions of this President make sense in a twisted way. Trump thinks the world is taking advantage of the U.S., so he proposes tariffs. I get that he doesn’t understand tariffs, but at least there is some justification, however misguided, for the action. I get that he thinks brown and black immigrants are a threat to white America, so I understand his support for mass deportations. I get that he thinks women are to be used–he has said as much–so I get his visits to Epstein’s island to rape teenage girls.
What I don’t get is why we would pull out of UNESCO. Or why we would pick a fight with Canada. Or why he is willing to gut workplace safety rules. The only explanation I can think of for these actions is that Trump is like a young boy who vandalizes a public park and thinks that was an interesting and fun thing to do.
What I also don’t get is that grown men and women, who would take the young boy to the juvenile authorities, seem quite willing to go along with the vandalism. I have never seen a good explanation for this behavior on the part of Trump or his followers.
