Donald Trump’s new Wall Street Journal interview reveals he’s even further gone than we thought

Yes, Donald Trump is dangerously and malignantly mentally ill. I’m not a doctor, but he’s so blatantly mentally ill, it doesn’t take a doctor to see it. He’s also displaying increasing signs of senility. But it turns out Trump is even further gone than a cynic like me thought. He’s given a just-published interview to the Wall Street Journal, and…. dear lord. This is just so… uh… well, we’ll let Donald tell it.
Here is Trump’s response when the WSJ dared to mention the name of his former close political partner and newest enemy, Steve Bannon: “Justโand soโso I was successful, successful, successful. I was always the best athlete, people donโt know that. But I was successful at everything I ever did and then I run for president, first timeโfirst time, not three times, not six times. I ran for president first time and lo and behold, I win. And then people say oh, is he a smart person? Iโm smarter than all of them put together, but they canโt admit it. They had a bad year.” Uh, mentally stable people don’t talk like this. Ever.
Oh, and the FBI agent he’s spent the past month lying about? Now he’s flat out accusing that agent of treason, and he’s using that precise word: “I mean, this is the FBI weโre talking about. I think that isโthat is treason. See, thatโs treason right there. By the way, thatโs a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.”
We all know why Donald Trump is suddenly accusing the FBI agent of “treason.” This comes shortly after Steve Bannon accused Trump and his son of participating in a “treasonous” plot with Russia. Trump projects these kinds of accusations and faults onto other people on a pathological level. But this is unreal. Trump is even further gone than we thought.
