There’s a price to be paid for electing an unfit president. “In general, when Trump is around someone whom he perceives as supportive, or when he gets a phone call from a supportive billionaire, or when he hears a supportive commentator on Fox News, his thinking is rapidly influenced by what that person is saying. This is ‘sympathetic audience control.’ With Trump, the impact is so strong that it persists after the person is gone — maybe even until another sympathetic individual comes along.” The Russians sure did hit the jackpot.
I noticed the mention a few pages back by Astray about trumps mental health. This quote is from

When I saw CNN’s Jake Tapper suddenly blurt out, “What the hell is going on?” in an online video the other day, I thought I’d better speak up.
Like millions of people, Tapper has become increasingly baffled by President Donald Trump’s odd behaviors: sucking up to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, then rewriting his own words the next day; scolding British Prime Minister Theresa May in an interview in The Sun, then denying that he ever did so in May’s presence hours later; lying, reversing himself, lying again, then lying about the lies.
Come up with your own list of peculiar and often contradictory Trump statements – about women, the Access Hollywood tape, immigrants, Charlottesville, gun rights, you name it. The bottom line, more and more, seems to be that exasperating question, “What the hell is going on?”
