Another Trump Mental Illness: Severe Paranoia
Trump has always believed that if you talk something up enough you can make it happen. It's different from just plain lying and different from gaslighting.

I gave a tremendous tax cut and they're loaded up with money." Loaded? I wonder how many of his supporters in the farm belt or the rust belt feel loaded with money. He repeated the talking point according to CNN, on the tarmac as he w... more »

On Lifelong Members of Philosophical Movements
Being the lifelong member of a philosophical movement is not a sign of genuine interest in philosophy—it is a sign of contempt it.

Loyalty to the movement and its leaders, and not to philosophical knowledge and creativity, is for them the highest achievement.
