The BBC reports more startling examples of Trump’s mind-blindness.
Donald Trump says he has finished answering questions about alleged Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The US leader told reporters he had personally answered the questions “very easily”, but his responses had yet to be submitted to the investigating team.
That’s just gooofy as well as mind-blind…as if he were taking a test as opposed to answering questions from The Law.
On Thursday, he took to Twitter to describe Mr Mueller as “conflicted”, called the investigation “absolutely nuts”, adding that those involved in the long-running probe “are a disgrace to our nation”.
No awareness that other people will see this as lunacy coming from a president who is talking about his own justice department. He apparently can’t even form the thought that we will think he sounds like a mobster as opposed to Mister President.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, he said the investigation had wasted “millions and millions of dollars” and “should never have taken place”.
Mr Trump also suggested the people who wrote the questions he agreed to answer “probably have bad intentions”.
“I’m sure they’re tricked-up because, you know, they like to catch people,” Mr Trump said, after making it clear he had written the answers to the questions.
That’s the one that really stood out. They probably have bad intentions, they trick-up their questions, they like to catch people – all said by the president about federal law enforcement.
Narcissism like that is so all-engulfing that it makes everything About the Self. The investigation is unpleasant to Donald Trump, THEREFORE it is bad in itself and will be obviously so to EVERYONE.
It’s a severe disability. Severe.

It’s an ivestigation into potentially criminal activity. Criminal activity is something you want to investigate, find and prevent. It is a good thing when criminals are caught up by their own lies and deceptions. Catching criminals is a good thing.
If the person being investigated had the initials HRC rather than DJT, he’d be all for it.
HRC? Her Royal Crookedness? Lock her up!
I don’t think the questions need to be that tricked up to trick Donald Trump. His own estimation of his own cleverness is the thing that will likely “trick him”. Egoists and narcissists are so willing to tout their own greatness that they often do not realize what they are revealing to the rest of us, and Trump takes this to the extreme.
I think it’s hilarious that he made sure everybody knows that he wrote the answers himself, just like a child who has just learnt to write will brag about writing the message in a birthday card without any help. What does he want, a pat on the head and a star sticker (gold, of course) on his work?
We’re back to Palin grousing about being asked ‘gotcha’ questions, the ones that displayed her bottomless ignorance.
John, I think that for both Palin and Trump the phrase ”gotcha’ questions, the ones that displayed her bottomless ignorance’ carries a lot of redundancy. ‘Questions’ would have sufficed.
