I don't think Hillary would play a game of "Who has got the biggest warhead?" Trump would play, he is that nuts.

Getting back to real things Trump actually does. Trumpcare for example shows how nutty Trump thinks:
Trump isn't a very good dealmaker. In Trump’s past jobs, he could simply move on from failed deals and find new partners, and new markets, and new sectors. But that’s not how the presidency works, and it’s not clear he realizes that.
"Take it or leave it" works only if you really are willing to leave it. In real estate Trump was because he could always turn around and do a different deal with someone else. But if Trump gets bored of negotiations and gives up, there's no other Congress he can turn to. He is nuts not to know that.

Trump's thinking about his Trumpcare and death is nuts. Can he count to a number higher than 100? I doubt he can until he proves it on TV, without reading the numbers from a Teleprompter:

You really post some silly stuff.
I've said before you have some good points, but you always pepper in ridiculous comments like he can't count to 100 or he's crazy enough to start a nuclear war.

If you want to see "crazy", that's it right there. Back to the Cold War, where the neocons can thrive. And SOME people are crazy enough to believe them.

Trump’s regular echoes of authoritarian leaders in his rhetoric, especially his attacks on the free press and US electoral integrity, are much appreciated by real authoritarians everywhere. The US is supposed to be a standard-bearer of these rights and practices, and still is despite a steady decay since the end of the Cold War. So to have the US president himself making these charges is a gift from heaven to America’s enemies and critics. As when Trump defended Putin by saying that the US had done bad things, too. Okay, yes, but truly to compare America to a brutal dictator, and from the president’s own lips! Moral relativism, “whataboutism,” has always been a favorite weapon of illiberal regimes. For a US president to employ it against his own country is tragic. Trump repeating Putin’s words—and nearly Stalin’s—by calling the press the enemy of the people, has repercussions around the world. Of course the autocrats and would-be autocrats would do as they like anyway, but it’s a boon to the Erdogans and Maduros, who still have to navigate the remnants of democracy and a free press. For them to be able to say that the American president considers the press a dangerous enemy of the people is potentially lethal for journalists in those countries.

Then there is the book: The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters. Trump is mentioned. The author is a five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion and a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College.

The book is discussed in the article: Why Americans have come to worship their own ignorance. Trump is mentioned.

From the article:
I think part of why Americans have become so divided about the way we talk about things in the public space is that people enter it convinced that the only goal of debate is to annihilate the other person’s position and never give an inch to the considered thoughts of another human being.
Q: And that was before the Age of Trump, I assume, since there is reference to candidate Trump but not President Trump. In any event the post-election news makes you look like a prophet. What do you make of the presidency so far, the world of alternate facts, accusations without evidence and the doubling down on certitudes?
A: It’s the inevitable destination down the road that we were already traveling. What the president did was figure out as a candidate how to harness this hatred of experts and this resistance to established knowledge, and to turn it to his advantage as a candidate. Now what’s interesting since the election is that the president’s had to bring in experts because every president does. You know, you can’t run a government on assumptions. You actually have to have people who know what they’re doing. It’s pretty early in the game, so it’s hard to tell whether that’s going to work out.
Q: The first travel ban was not expertly drawn up.
A: And it imploded, which was itself a lesson about what happens when you do things on the fly, without expert knowledge behind them. I’m not sure the next travel ban will fare much better, but it’s a much different ban, and it represents a retreat from the original concept.
Q: You spread around the blame for what you call America’s angry narcissism, in your even-handed way, and quite a lot of it falls on universities. Can you elaborate?

Not going to defend Trump or attack Kasparov here, but I think that it's half posturing. Kasparov wants to oppose Putin and discredit his supporters. Comments like the one about the flags or softball questions seem naive, like the one about moral relativism, but he does know what he's talking about here, he's just using it to apply where it really doesn't. I think it's political posturing for his own aspirations back home in Russia.
Sure, some of his criticisms are completely valid, but I know that he knows this is not new in America. He wrote two books on the evils of the Obama administration, he's familiar with our foreign policy disasters, and he undoubtedly knows their deep state origins, and that this element was not suddenly brought in by Trump or even Obama.
Note the number of times he backpedals on previous statements here that he says were hyperbola. He knew they were when he made them the first time. He wants to him home with the Russian voter.

I do agree with what the man has to say about college in America.

Quote:Famous people (Kasparov is one) cultivate their fame to make it grow larger. Scott Adams, the Dilbert Cartoonist and mildly famous, is also growing his own fame with the help of book writing and interviews about Trump. In October, Portfolio will release Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter, in which the publisher says Adams will reveal “the secret tricks of the world’s greatest persuaders, giving readers what he calls ‘access to the admin passwords for human beings.’ ” Dogbert appears on the cover, wearing a Trump-like blond coif.

When Scott Adams began writing approvingly about Trump's persuasion techniques (the exact opposite of what Kasparov is doing), it surprised his friends and colleagues, who’d always considered Adams to be liberal on social issues. “When he told me about Trump, I was so disappointed, because I respect the guy so much,” says Stephan Pastis, the creator of Pearls Before Swine, who credits Adams with discovering his strip and making it popular. “I definitely get asked by other syndicated cartoonists—and the questions are not good—‘What’s happening to him? Why’s he supporting Trump?’ ” One explanation, Pastis says, is that Adams simply craves attention. “Cartoonists are addicted to reaction. I don’t know whether Scott would admit that, but I know it’s true.”

Adam Baldwin would never admit how much he secretly loves Trump.

But I do remember when Jayne was an enemy of Trump and a big fan of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas because Cruz was the devout Christian and Trump was the fake Christian.
After the nomination for Presidential candidate was won, Jayne switched loyalties to Trump, despite Trump not showing any more Christian virtues or piousness than he ever has. The fact that millions of Christians could make that flipflop for Trump explains much about them. A Christian who supports Trump either does not understand Trump's positions or supports him in spite of Christian convictions in the same way that a person cannot be a vegetarian and devour a supper of Texas barbecue.
