I do think JB has some mental deficits, but he's an odd admixture. And I think your mom & Just Human make a great point.
At JB's worst, I fear this, he almost has a "burn down Rome attitude."
That is, he knows he's a phony & is intensely disliked by at least 50% of the voters. He, like all long-timers in DC, believe they are to be revered. He is not, in fact, he already knows his administration is already, the worst, in American History.
For The Nation to burn down under his rule, seems like some sort of revenge to/for him.
I could be wrong. But in light of all that has gone down since he began, it's hard to imagine that he cares.
Your mom is very sharp, just like the writer.
