Too easy to swallow "The Apprentice" hype that painted Donnie as a business genius, and then paint all of his actions currently with the same emotion, 'I do not understand what or why he is doing things, so he must be a smart person, a genius even!'

But every action he takes, every malformed sentence he speaks, shows he is dislocated from reality.

And that is not genius, that is insanity.

'He is not the same person' is often said in domestic violence situations too.
You perceive yourself as the weaker person in a relationship, admire the other person for their confidence and strength, and align yourself with them - on the assumption that strength will be used to protect you and benefit you.
Then it all goes wrong . . . those perceived positives are turned against you.

Trumpism is a combination of insanity, cultism and domestic violence on a large scale.
