CNN's Erin Burnett is hitting trump hard on his "wild claims" about war

"Trump Cancels Strikes, Claiming for 39th Time That A Deal Is Near" reads the chyron.

She is taking apart his wild swings just today alone, and running clips of FAUX personalities doing the same thing. Yes, even on FAUX they are growing tired of the stories.

Oh, and trump's latest story is that the new "peace agreement" (the 39th one) is "conceptual". The expert is saying there is no credible evidence that there is a deal of any kind. Finally, some plain talking.

Very disorienting, which I think is the point.

While some of it is just DJT being reckless and chaotic, I do believe it is meant to be disorienting as well.

Now that his numbers are crumbling, hopefully they're giving him the pile-on he's deserved since Day 1.

With Nixon sneakily interfering to screw Humphrey in the election?
Kraznov probably heard about it and thought it was a grand idea, not quite getting that he was missing a crucial detail.

start talking about how limited, disordered, unhinged, ignorant, and dangerous our potus is...and that analysis of his orders and tweets is really a waste of time without discussion of his illness.

He can't make decisions that are in the interests of the US. His brain is seeking some sort of positive stimulus while covering up for the hollowness of soul and fear of exposure.
