Many commentators discuss and analyze the consequences of the policies and actions of the deranged Trump regime, try to understand it, and assign some kind of a meaning and purpose to it under the assumption that they are dealing with rational, intelligent people.
But these are all intellectual exercises in futility.
For all these commentators and pundits are trying to understand and rationalize is an abnormal mind.
The Trump regime isn't mentally normal. This extends to pretty much everyone in the US congress. These peoples' unhinged actions are not merely the result of greed or ignorance, but of something much simpler: undiagnosed and untreated mental illness.
From top to bottom, the entire US government is stuffed with people with mental problems and intellectual deficiencies, and this is having a very deleterious impact on US governance and national life.
When mentally unstable people are put into positions of authority, nothing good will come of it.
This problem became worse with the closure of state mental hospitals in the past decades for financial reasons.
Before that, individuals with mental problems had somewhere to go to receive some sort of treatment and didn't have to worry about expense. Their family members could take them there when they noticed that something wasn't right, or individuals could also commit themselves. This allowed many of the mentally ill people to be removed from society to an isolated place where they could do no harm, either to themselves or to others.
But today, the state mental hospitals are no longer an option available to those who cannot afford private mental care, so they are left to languish out in society, many without even knowing that they are mentally ill.
This is why today there is an increase in all sorts of psychological complexes. Individuals unaware of their undiagnosed mental illnesses have permeated all strata of society, from educational institutions, government, and military, corporate world, and the mainstream media, among others.
These mentally ill people sit in high positions of authority, and make decisions that end up being destructive for the rest of society.
This is why the propensity for aggression and degeneracy have grown very fast in the west, especially in the US. This is why we now have the debacle in ukraine, Iran, economic and societal problems, homelessness, and the growing LGBT movement, which seeks to promote and normalize abnormal sexual behaviors.
If you tell a mentally ill person that they are not normal, they will refuse to believe it and become defensive. Because crazy people don't know that they're crazy. They will act out in horrendous ways, and hurt people. They truly believe that the absurd and vile things they think, say, and do are right. It's not simply a matter of them being immoral or amoral. They may not even be fully aware of the destruction they are causing.
This is why Trump lashes out whenever his decisions end up failing, or face serious criticism. He reacts to these failures with absurd claims, lies, juvenile tantrums, and spite. This is not the behavior of a sane adult. The rest of his hapless regime is no better.
To make things worse, the US government has also allied itself with severely psychopathic regimes in ukraine and israel, which can be correctly labeled as criminally insane.
The US, as well as the EU, also promote and install mentally ill individuals in foreign governments, which compounds the problem.
Undiagnosed and untreated mental illness is the number one cause of US societal decline. Most people fail to recognize this, and waste their time focusing on irrelevant political and economic minutiae without acknowledging the big role that mental wellness, or lack thereof, is playing here.
This is so because of the stigma associated with mental illness. Normal people will not listen to, believe, or vote for a mentally ill person. Only the mentally ill will do so. So mental problems are simply swept under the rug because they are a career killer.
Mental wellness needs to be made a priority consideration in the US and the west, because the lack of it today is making the world a much more dangerous place.
