That's the thing. Too many people give Trump credit for knowing how to read a crowd. He doesn't. He only knows how to be himself, and that coincidentally happens to appeal to a certain and unfortunate segment of the population. Their lizard brains connect. Trump can only be Trump.
The whining billionaire victim who needs your money to pay his legal bills? Operators are standing by. Did you at least invest in one of his superhero NFTs?
This conservative writer thinks otherwise... Trump's 'lizard brain' on full display as his 'empire of fraud' crumbles: conservative All of this is par for the course from the former president, wrote Trump-skeptic conservative commentator Charlie Sykes for The Bulwark on Tuesday morning. "The former president of the United States strutted his hour (actually several hours) on the witness stand. In this case, Donald Trump’s rage testimony actually signified quite a lot," wrote Sykes. "Here was the former president under oath in a trial that threatens to unravel his empire of fraud. And it went about as you might expect: the belligerent vitriol, bravado, grievance, and insults; the filibustering, logic-rapes, tangents, boorishness, bulls---, and, of course, the lies. Trump seethed and exploded." During the course of the trial, Trump also proclaimed the judge didn't understand his business, blasted Attorney General Letitia James as a "political hack," and at times confused state attorneys by seeming to claim his properties were overvalued and undervalued at the same time. "Yesterday we got the whole show, the one we’ve been living through for the past eight years and a glimpse at our collective futures," wrote Sykes. Trump was, in short, showing off "lizard brain in full" on the witness stand. The upshot, Sykes concluded, is that "Trump is going to lose this case. But yesterday’s testimony gave us a taste of how his criminal trials might go, if his attorneys are reckless enough to let him testify under oath again."
