Trump: "When you see a soldier walking without his arms, or being helped down the street bc he's got no legs, or his face is blown to smithereens w/ no legs and no arms -- no legs, no arms, & a face that got wrecked -- that was done by roadside bombs, the favorite weapon of Soleimani, who I killed."

"aphrodisiac"... That he is not a serial killer (albeit that is questionable given his ICE and other directed forces) only speaks to his personal inability to do anything physical.

I feel for the military families hearing this crap.

...and if you've seen even a few, you've probably seen a scene where detectives go into the apartment of a suspect and there's disturbing stuff all over the walls, news clippings, a "shrine" to their victims, etc etc etc.

I think a similar "fantasy world" exists in Trump's head. He's more fascinated, I'd say, with inflicting horrendous acts of violence on the people in his life who anger him the most...his political opponents...and he "might" know there are lines he can't cross, people he can't just have killed because they upset him. So all of these other sick fantasies fester in his brain.

I've quoted The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" a number of times when writing about Trump..."There's a killer on the road, his brain is squirmin' like a toad..."

And the older Trump gets, the more disturbing his "stream of consciousness" confessions become.

e.g., plenty of money, access to women and young girls - he might have become a serial killer. As it is, he doesn't like to get his tiny hands dirty so he lets others do the wet work while he imagines it.

Which is why all the possible allegations of behavior attributed to him are believable.

The soldier he is talking about died for no good reason.
He is a stark raving mad monster.
