Madman’s Madman Act is Unconvincing

If anyone should be able to convince people he’s crazy, it’s Donald “Very Stable Genius” Trump. The president’s long trail of bankruptcies, criminal and civil cases, and unhinged blurt-outs testify to his instability. So do his bipolar swings between peacenik platitudes and warmongering warnings, terrifying tariffs and reassuring rollbacks, magniloquent plans to do this soon forgotten in service to equally bombastically forgettable efforts to do that. As AJ Smuskiewicz puts it:
Everyone anxiously waits to hear what President Sybil, the deranged, delusional Caesar of the American Empire, is going to proclaim next . . .
NATO and the U.S. provoked Russia to invade Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine unprovoked because he wants to take over the whole country—and maybe Poland too. Russia is winning the war and holds all the cards. Russia is not winning the war and doesn’t hold any cards. Maybe Ukraine can join NATO. Ukraine can never join NATO. Putin wants peace. Putin does not want peace, so we will hit Russia with crushing sanctions. There will be no more sanctions on Russia. Zelensky wants peace. Zelensky does not want peace. We will stop all weapons to Ukraine. We will send more and better weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine needs to hold elections. Ukraine does not need to hold elections. We have a minerals deal. We do not have a minerals deal. No European troops should be in Ukraine. European troops should be in Ukraine. The U.S. should stop all involvement in Ukraine.

Trump’s fanboys think it’s all an act. Trump is playing 3D chess! Every one of those seemingly crazy words and actions has been carefully weighed and serves a higher purpose whose almost infinitely complex reverberations are obscure to ordinary mortals. But the simpler explanation, of course, is that Trump is every bit as nuts as he appears. Smuskiewicz imagines Trump afflicted with some unique and fascinating mental illness:
With all of his psychological weirdness, Trump—if psychoanalysts could ever get him into a psychiatric clinic or research laboratory—would surely lead to the generation of hundreds of ground-breaking clinical research papers and numerous new medical textbooks.
But let’s not over-analyze. Bandy Lee and other shrinks have long since put “Diagnosable Don” on the couch and pinned him as a garden-variety narcissist whose tendencies towards sociopathy, paranoia, and impulsiveness make him the wrong guy to put in charge of anything, least of all a country.
Does Trump’s craziness have an upside? Well, it’s (darkly) entertaining. Between Trump and the even more criminally insane Zionists, I hardly have to write satire any more, since it pretty much writes itself.
Another conceivable advantage to having a stark-raving-bonkers commander-in-chief is that America’s opponents and enemies and negotiating partners never know what to expect. This, we are told, creates “strategic uncertainty.” Since they are so perplexed and terrified by the specter of an unpredictable lunatic in charge of the world’s most powerful country, people like Putin an
