Opinion: Is Trump Out-of-Touch, Senile, Nuts or Something Worse?

"That's a sentiment that many others have also suggested in response to presidential initiativesfrom seizing the Panama Canal to watching a TV movie about Alcatraz and hours later suggesting the decrepit prison facility, which has been shut down for more than half a century, should be reopened……
But crazy begets crazy, and this week we have seen how it is compounded atop our government in many ways. One such example comes courtesy of RFK, Jr., whose first choice for surgeon general, Janette Nesheiwat, flamed out because she may have misrepresented her credentials. Nasheiwat was immediately replaced by a new nominee who doesn't actually have a license to practice medicine and is rather an anti-vaxx peddler of meshuggah medical theories.….
Then consider Trump's right-wing extremist choice to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, whose nomination crashed and burned because of crumbling GOP support. Trump decided the right person to replace him was Fox News legal commentator Jeanine Pirro, a woman whose own producer at Fox called her "nuts" too……
Not only this, but Trump must think Americans are "nuts" too, and not just because his policies are driving us so. How else to interpret his demonstrating that he has no idea how global trade works? How else to explain the threats to invade Greenland or the recent decision to shift intelligence assets to back up his bonkers threats?
It is an insult to the collective intelligence of the planet if he decides to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America; if he appoints, as he just did, a former Real Housewife of New Jersey to the Holocaust Museum board; or if he suggest that everything's hunky-dory with his wife when she has only shown up for work 14 days so far since inauguration…..
Because sane or not (and he's definitely not), when Miller says they're "looking at" suspending habeas corpus, it is a gravely serious matter.…
But there is also a more chilling possibility that we should not rule out. It is also possible that every bad hire, every profoundly destructive policy initiative, every toxic choice made by Trump is not in fact due to mental defect but, on the contrary, is intentional. That it is consciously thought out and well-executed, part of a plan with the clear intent of destroying our systems as we have known them and further empowering our enemies at home and abroad."
