Of course that’s true. Law enforcement agencies rely on ‘the brag’ – the narcissistic compulsion to admit to crime and how they ‘got the money and got away’.

With Trump, however, there’s that and more going on.

For one there’s his compulsion to lie when it's easier to tell the truth.

Then there’s something else… deeper and more psychiatric: he doesn’t know he’s lying – as if he’s a semi-awake somnambule living in a dreamscape - when a hundred people are cheering him on, he ‘sees’ thousands, When things around him are falling apart, he ‘sees’ positive progress. When a business is descending into financial ruin, he ‘sees’ fantastical profits.

When called out on a lie, he’s often genuinely apoplectic… there ‘really were’ thousands at all of his rallies – he ‘saw’ them.

This third component has proved the most dangerous due to a very specific talent, one that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones and L Ron Hubbard: he can project his dreamscape deep into the psyche of the gullible and the troubled. There ‘really are’ thousands at his rallies. Haitians ‘really are’ rounding up dogs and cats in Ohio and eating them, He ‘really can’ solve all the world’s problems with one phone call. Kids ‘really are’ leaving home in the morning as boys and coming home as girls.

Trump ‘sees’ it and therefore so do they.

Unfortunately for all of us, the American psyche has an almost limitless capacity for projecting what-ifs into its conscious as if they were real—Utopia/Dystopia Now—such that many Americans can live in the dreamscape of a world as they’d want it to be. This makes them great storytellers in words, film, and song… But it also makes them susceptible, en masse, to living and functioning in psychosis - and dragging the rest of us into it - e.g. the Australian obsession with Trump.

And Trump is psychologically calibrated to exploit it... as L Ron Hubbard openly admitted of himself.

A common theme with pro-Trumpians in Australia is effeminate bitchy apoplexy in his defence.

Trump threw them a bone, so to speak, during the Rogan interview with his lingering descriptions of the physique of Air Force One male pilots... Even Rogan - a comedian and usually capable of taking out-of-left-field digressions to a comical place - was momentarily silenced.

My guess is that Trump is honing in on another demographic -  gay men and crossdressers, by throwing in talk on a subject close to their hearts - men's cocks.

What's the bet down the hollers of Appalachia there'll soon be men fiddling with each other's junk 'cos they think Trump told them that's what real men do.

Among the Havard-educated Republican Congress, they'll be supporting Trump in a new group - The Mens Cox League.

Rogan, wearing his bro hat, discusses his thoughts on his conversation with Trump.

Given on his other channel - the JRE Fight Companion, despite Rogan insisting he wanted to interview her, he and his mates lampooned Harris.

rogan is a pretty likeable guy
he's tough physically, eternally curious
he seems to fenuinely like people, from bernie sanders to elon musk , from zuckerburg to JFK. , from glen greenwald to mike tyson

he;s certainly a guy who brings people together

he is the most popular person in pdocasting which is really to say he is the most popular person in the media.

he is a white masculine version of oprah.

any leftie who hates rogan has probably never listened to him
any rightie who hates oprah has probably never listened to her

they are both right at the top of the pile in terms of communication skills

people who hate on them are probably right at the bottom

Why, Meister's talking about you, dear boy: a card-carrying fascist who dresses in mainstream conservative stripes.

You regurgitate the lies yourself. You project, and you'll defend your DL to your last gasp.

As far as we can tell, that was in the early 2000s, so you'll even defend him from the grave. You're a cult-following cadaver who's so far in that if your DL loses next month, you'll die a second time.

Not sure how you're going to go back to mainstream politics after that, dear boy.

Might be best to just join the Nazis and head off to Stormfront.
