Trump seems to be that rare mentally challenged person that is also a highly functional human being. Is smart a pair of rocks and should be in a asylum, protected by the real world. But it happens to have the right quirks to him that society accept his behaviors.

It's highly suspicious but getting into pre-crime territory to claim they're "terrorists". Nutjobs get caught with lots of ammunition and explosives on the regular. That they released one of them already is either a huge mistake or they have good reason to think it is just criminal possession and not plans for mass murder. For example:

quote:

One arrested after grenade discovered inside RV following traffic stop in southwest Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY - It was a busy morning for officers in southwest Oklahoma City after the bomb squad had to respond to a traffic stop.

Early Friday morning, officers pulled over an RV near S.W. 10th St. and Western Ave. and noticed something suspicious inside the vehicle.

At this point, it is not clear exactly what was deemed suspicious.

However, authorities were seen going through boxes of ammunition along with other items inside the RV.

The Oklahoma City Fire Department, the bomb squad, paramedics and Oklahoma City police all responded to the scene.

Investigators with the Oklahoma City Police Department say they discovered a hand grenade and two firearms inside the RV.

Officials say 41-year-old Scott Michael Boden was taken into custody.

I also interpreted Trump as like a shark or other creature of finely tuned instincts but little in the way of conscious thought. He's not dumb, he's brilliant in his own special way, but I think much like a shark, when transported outside of his natural environment he might just flop around and then expire. Gut and reflex as a basis of behavior makes you narrow and specialized and denies you the meta thinking required to fix your thinking

If you've read Blinsight by Peter Watts, Trump reminds me of a great many things from it. The theme of conscious thought being a hindrance, an evolutionary accident. The idea floated that the prevalence of sociopaths in CEOS and politicians might be a result of this and part of a trend toward evolution fixing it's mistake. Basically, I'm moderately pro-Trump but I also suspect he might be a philosophical zonbie

Yea. We have build a society where lacking mental tools like empathy actually help further power goals. So in some moment we have the top of society filled with elements unable to relate with other human beings and do human things.

Quite honestly--as someone familiar with the rural Midwest--I think that as many as 5% of vehicles in that region are carrying ridiculous amounts of ammunition, armaments, and possibly explosives. It's a cultural thing, they treat weaponry in the exact same manner as fireworks.

Dear Sir:

I have been requested by the NigerianAmerican National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The American National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara regionMidwest. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling EUR$40,000,000. The American National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the American Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.

You assistance is requested as a non-American citizen to assist the American National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of America, in moving these funds out of America. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the American National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the American National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or EUR$4 million of this amount.

Yours truly,

Prince Jared Kushner

Sapulpa Pipe Bomb Scare Lands Father & Son In Jail

SAPULPA, Oklahoma - Police arrested two Creek County men early Wednesday in connection with live pipe bombs found in a car parked outside the Creek County courthouse in downtown Sapulpa Tuesday afternoon.
They are identified as Berry Nichols, 53, of Mounds and Christopher Nichols, 23, of Sapulpa. They are father and son, court records show.

Police say it all started when a woman left the courthouse and went to Ford Expedition. She told police the tires on her car had been slashed and then she saw what she believed to be pipe bombs inside the car.

Police initially blocked off several blocks around the courthouse and called the Tulsa Police bomb squad along with agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Both departments confirmed there were two live IEDs inside the woman's SUV. Police say they were made of PVC pipes filled with explosive powder and BBs.

"Real American" means an American because their a member of a particular indigenous American culture instead of someone whose an American because their a citizen of the American state. Real American culture is a distinct widespread rurally-rooted culture developed and native to America so it gets the name American but people who are citizens of America also get called American. It like Native American or Mexican American or African American except American American sounds dumb so you get terms like Real American.

The party line that pretends to not understand this is derived from the suppression of understanding of the role of internal colonization and resistance to it that is one of the fundamental conflicts of modern American politics
