Trump, Thinking, Or Whatever

AFTER ALL WE'VE SEEN, nobody should be surprised when Trump, giving a deposition under oath, was shown a thirty year old picture of the woman who alleges he raped her, and thought the picture was of Marla, his second wife. The photo was, (and is) quite clear, and Mr. Trump was given every opportunity to correct his mistake. Instead, he doubled down. This is a good example of exactly why we do not, repeat, d not, want Mr. Trump to shut up and go away; he's far too entertaining out here amongst us. The question is; what does Trump think of his misidentification, and, equally importantly, what do hiw followers/supporters think about it? Trump will either continue to claim for the rest of his efe that the photo is indeed of Marla Maples, either that, or he will claim that he was somehow tricked into misidentifying the woman in the photo. What if he turns this into another "big election lie"? In other words, the more obvious its falsehood, the more tenaciously trump will cling to it. And, by logical extension, the more Trump clings to it, the his followers/supporters will. This country might well end up witha situation in which seventy million Americans look at a clear picture of E. Jean Carroll and insist that they are looking at a photo of Marla Maples-Trump, just ike their icon/hero/master. As if the big bizarre mass produced election lie isn't bizarre enough...And of course, the believers will be the same people; those who believe the election lie will believe the picture lie as well. So, as they say, here we go again. Another addition to a growing body of Trump lore which will doubtless, since he is a former president, live in infamy, to quote FDR. For sheer amusement value, this surely ranks right up there with the infamous "wind mills cause cancer" comment, and his assrton that the Civil War annoyed Andrew Jackson, and that George Washingtion's army captured every airport in the colonies during the war with Great Britian, and so forth. the essence of this conditin, psychologically, might well be a deeply ingrained "it does't amtter what I say, because whatever I say it good and true beaue I am the one who said it" attitude, based upon extreme self serving arrogance and narcissism. But whatever it is, you somehow sense that we aren't through with it quite yet, so, as they say, settle in for the rest of the show.
