This makes no sense

If one is trying to determine the motivation behind Donald Trumpโ€˜s actions as they relate to tariffs, Occam’s razor would apply here. I say this because the Trump administration is all mixed up. Theyโ€™re all over the place with explanations for the tariffs.

Itโ€™s because of fentanyl, some of them scream out, including VP Vance, but then: no, no, no, itโ€™s because of NATO (this makes no sense.) No! Itโ€™s because weโ€™ve been vastly mistreated for so very long by almost every country there is. No, no, no, thatโ€™s not the reason. Weโ€™ve been taken advantage of, and we need to get our own back!

Over and over and over and over and over and over, the explanations, roll in, they roll in like fog, blanketing, quiet waters, explanation, after explanation trapping, obscuring, reality, making it difficult for people to see the truth when that fog is here there and everywhere.

In reality, the explanation, and hereโ€™s where we come to Occam’s razor โ€“ itโ€™s very simple for as you know sometimes the simple explanation is the correct explanation. Trump is doing this because heโ€™s a malignant narcissist and sociopath. There is no other reason, my friends, heed my words. There is no other reason.

We have discussed the disease of malignant narcissism, but it applies to ALL Trump’s actions. Malignant narcissists, such as Trump, do not give a damn about anyone other than themselves. In that regard, some of them like to inflict pain. Theyโ€™re never happy without drama, EVER. THIS is what this is all about — the drama, the cruelty and the hate.

Trumpโ€™s actions perfectly fit his need for drama and his need to inflict pain. Think about how much mayhem heโ€™s already caused in his few brief weeks in office. The explanation here is simple. It’s Occam’s Razor to a tee. It is cruelty. The cruelty with Donald Trump is ALWAYS the point.
