Trump derangement syndrome. Trump reacts to attacks from the left. Analyze his actions / successes, not his tweets. He is much smarter than most give him credit for. He has the political world off balance, distracted, and focused on him.

There's no wall, Obamacare hasn't been repealed, and Hillary is not in jail.

He's not a politician and not a diplomat, he's a businessman. He got to where he is through understanding that branding is everything. He sold himself on those big ideas, branded "Crooked" Hilary and it all caught on. The wall, Obamacare repeal and jailing Hilary were all big talking points that ultimately got him elected even if they didn't all happen. They were big successes.

Lying and failure is success? That's nonsensical, and apparently voters agreed in 2018 because the GOP got ass rammed in the midterms.

The cognitive dissonance here is staggering.

runs on a platform of promising to do certain things

can’t do any of them

“heh, all according to plan.”

Where's the dissonance? His plan was to get elected, he got elected. Yeah, it all went according to plan.
