A couple of years ago I had open heart surgery (quintuple bypass and valve repair). It was like being run over by a truck. The pain killers were the most powerful you can get. On top of that I asked for Ambien to help me sleep. I hallucinated wildly but I knew it. I would wake my daughter up (who was caring for me) at 3am and demand to explain it to her because it seemed very important at the time. She would say, "You know that's not real, right?" I'd say yes but insisted on explaining it to her anyway, as if there was something that had to be done. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the disorientation street people deal with. When my son in law told me it was being caused by the meds, I stopped taking them immediately. I'd rather have the pain than crazy.

The odd thing about this is that he was seen as a buffoon when he first took the stage, and yet he accomplished his goals. It makes people think, "wait a minute, is he crazy like a fox?" He seems to be able to set the media's anti-Trump message almost every morning before breakfast. That doesn't look intentional to you?

"1. About 100% of liberal pundits think Trump’s a buffoon

2. About 100% of moderate pundits think Trump’s a buffoon

3. About 50% of conservative pundits (and more of the elite ones) think Trump’s a buffoon"

If it walks like a buffoon, and it quacks like a buffoon, it's a buffoon.
