The oowsnn (orange one who shall not be named) did a weird. Even for this President, that was weird. That’s a really high bar for him! What happened in Helsinki? What was that? Taking my observations and belief in the fundamentally good nature of men - and trying to come up with a motivation that makes sense…leaves me struggling…
Everything makes sense. We might not have the data or wisdom to understand it, but it makes sense. So what is this? I’m going to construct a house of cards and see if it holds together. I don’t want to much of this to be true, so I don’t want it to hold together.
Root condition
The U.S. President suffered a big psychological trauma, probably sexual, in his formative years. That is consistent with his sexual dominance issues. It is consistent with his brother drinking himself to death. It is consistent with him showing short term planning and decision making throughout his life. It is consistent with his profound narcissism. It is necessarily true for his behaviour, in general, to make sense.
He is stuck in fight or flight and never got back to normal. Every little thing for him is a fight or flight condition. There is no interaction that isn’t important. Everything is about survival, and matters enormously. The brand of toothpaste he uses, to global nuclear annihilation are all in that window. His whole life is explained by that window.
Outcomes
His admiration of strongmen is related to that trauma. He doesn’t ever want to be in a position where he can be a victim ever again. He wants to fight and win. Weak people flee. He is strong. Strong men aren’t victims. He needs to be strong. Strong men are admirable, and are the only ones that need to be feared or have opinions that matter.
He proves he’s a strong man by having people tell him that all the time. Anyone that doesn’t recognise his strength is a potential threat. Ape like dominance/submission posturing is fundamental to his being. North Korean leaders and Chinese leaders and French leaders that throw him parades and compliment him are showing submission (in his mind), and he likes that.
He shows he is strong by talking about his good genes, his brilliant uncle, his successful father. By having attractive trophy wives. Strong men do that. He is strong.
He shows dominance by having trade wars, not because a trade war is a good idea, but that capitulation to American demands shows strength. After everyone admits his strength, he can magnanimous in distributing favour, for favours received and submissive posturing. It doesn’t matter that ZTE stole American technology, it matters that he can save ZTE and show he is dominant over Xi, who can’t...and Xi threw oowsnn a parade and treated him well, so he’ll throw Xi a bone.
The Russian involvement in the US Election creates a cloud over his victory against ‘that woman’ with his record electoral college win and millions of illegals voting. The Russians couldn’t have had any involvement, and if they did, it couldn’t have mattered. The FBI couldn’t have help him, they must have been against him if anything.
The investigation into the Russian involvement can’t be based on anything, because he wouldn’t have lost in a fair election, so the investigation should be into how ‘that woman’ got all those illegal votes and not into him or his people at all. He is strong. Anything that disputes that is wrong and needs to be fought by him with his very being. With his people’s very being. If you aren't with him, you are against him.
Putin is a strongman. His opinion matters. Of course he wanted Trump to win, because ‘that woman’ would have been bad for the whole world. He and Putin said stuff behind closed doors that is consistent with Putin being a strong man, whose opinion matters, so this is all good. Putin didn’t show submission, but he’s strong, so they can talk man to man about important things that lessor people don’t understand. A worthy partner, and if needs must, a worthy adversary. Putin knows all of this and can barely keep a straight face as he plays oowsnn like a 'insert something that is easy to play'.
And Here We Are
Without needing a pee tape, we get to the set of actions we witnessed in Helsinki. There are darker things that get us there as well, but we don’t need them. Occam’s razor gets a little bent here, but the above is probably simpler than Kompromat. With some mental health intervention in the earlier part of oowsnn’s life, the world isn’t staring over an abyss.
Actually, we’re still looking into an abyss, just not one guided by oowsnn’s hand. Circumstances create the opportunity a man can fill. A man doesn’t create that circumstance. That’s on the society. The society needs to sort stuff out. It’s American society’s fault. Please sort it out America.
Just two Republican Senators can put on the brakes. The midterms can stop it cold. This is an emergency for the rest of the world. Big changes are at hand for the world and we desperately need really good leadership. We don’t have a lot of it, on the global stage. Please help...or at least stop hindering lots and lots and lots...
Alternate explanation
Everything above still holds, but If there is also Kompromat involved, it isn’t a pee tape. Trump has no shame. His advisors might freak out over that, but he wouldn’t be that fussed. Kompromat is dirty money (probably) and/or DNA evidence showing his daughter's kid is his. Sexual molestation runs in families, and he’s always frighteningly sexualised his daughter - and believed in his good genes.
Conclusion
It holds together. Crap. So, ummm, America...We're asking really nicely, and just sort of wondering if you're ok with this...Whatevs. The end of the world should be totally exciting! At least it won't be boring...
