My TDS makes me think Trump says whatever he thinks will make him look good (or his opponents look bad) with very little regard for the truth. Even at White House Press briefings during a national crisis.
Jan 22: "we have it totally under control. Its one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. Its going to be just fine.
Feb 19: in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And thats a beautiful date to look forward to. "Were going very substantially down, not up."
Feb 27: Its going to disappear. One day, its like a miracle, it will disappear
Mar 7: Its got the world aflutter, but itll work out,
Mar 11: WHO officially declares pandemic.
Mar 17: Ive always known this is a, this is a real, this is a pandemic. Ive felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. All you had to do is look at other countries. ... No, Ive always viewed it as very serious.
When he brags about how smart he is...do you believe him?
He said this recently while touring the CDC:
"You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump.
I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, How do you know so much about this? Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President.
But you know what? What theyve done is very incredible. I understand that whole world. I love that world. I really do. I love that world."
With my TDS it's very clear he really wants people to think that he is so intelligent that he's basically and expert in most things. We've seen him do some version of that quote with all sorts of subjects: cannons on an air craft carrier, foreign relations with NK, Global Pandemics, doesn't matter. And it's not just him saying those things. He will contradict an expert like Faucci or the head of CDC on how viruses work right in front of them while the country watches.
