  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He attributes this not to hunger for power but to not having the cognitive awareness of how the U.S. government, which he leads, works.
It was clear in Trump 1.0 that he didn't know how the government works. But he had people around him who did, who mostly kept the president's crayon colors within the lines. This time, he has purposely surrounded himself with people who don't know or don't care (or both) how the government works.

So I don't see that particular point indicates and degradation of faculties. He never had that one.
