There is no doubt that there is no cohesiveness of the brain of the president of the United States and the evidence is out there every day in everything he does or says, from putting children in great number in concentration camps, to declaring just about anyone or anything a “terrorist” that only he can combat.

Where to start? This week, he has declared that the agreement between Major League Baseball and the Cuban professional baseball organization was null and void. In an agreement reached last December, Cuban players would be able to ply their trade in the U.S. without defecting, that is, they could return home after each season and return to play another season.

It all would seem normal to a normal human being, but the president has shown himself not to be a normal human being, however you ascertain normality. There is a certain range of behavior that is considered normal and Donald Trump goes well beyond that range, in every direction. In nixing the baseball deal, Trump claimed that doing business with Cuban baseball was tantamount to giving money to a country and its government that he loathes. In his view, Cuba is part of the “Troika of Tyranny,” consisting of Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba.

A closer look, however, goes back to his lust for oil (any fossil fuel, really) and Venezuela is full of oil and Trump wants it. Also, he wants to nullify anything positive that President Obama has done and that includes normalization of relations with Cuba. The current president will do anything to continue to stir up chaos in international relations, since in that way, nothing that the world's governments have decided through the generations in their attempt to minimize the rash impulses of nations, states, and individuals in power will have any validity. Treaties and agreements are swept away by the irrational decisions of one individual, Trump, and the ensuing chaotic activities of the world's other powers make his irrationality and impulsive decisions, in his mind, look like something approaching normal. This is what he creates and he feels comfortable doing so, because in the maelstrom, he thinks he can escape what he has wrought.

Apparently, he never knew the power of the office he accidentally fell into and was never ready to take on the responsibility of the U.S. presidency. He did not know that, as president, he could not function as the con man he was, dealing with real estate in New York and in other countries. He thought he could bully his way through, as he has done all his life and he'll lie, cheat, and buy his way through life, just as his father did and as he taught Donald to do.

Lashing out at perceived enemies, and they are legion, is Trump's answer to any adversity or any opposition. Speculation among political observers is that he got rid of Kirstjen Neilsen as secretary of homeland security this week because she was not vicious enough in dealing with migrants, adults or children. He asserted that the U.S. “is full” and can't take any more people, but no one but him really believes that. His fear is that there will be more black and brown people coming into the country from the south and they are likely to fulfill the white supremacists' nightmare. Eventually, they will outnumber the Northern European stock and make whites the minority. It's what his slogan, “make America great again,” is all about. They conveniently forget that there already were people here 500 years ago, but he and his followers firmly believe the myth that America started when whites set foot on this ground.

He also rid his administration of a number of others, that is, the ones who have not previously fled. He threatened to close the southern frontier to asylum seekers, but agents there were told after the president's visit not to pay attention to the offhand order, since it would be a violation of both international law and U.S. law. Trump doesn't know that asylum-seekers have rights, too. His threats and condemnations have been emanating from the White House at a faster and faster pace. He doesn't know who to condemn next.

Just this week, he called Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a “terrorist organization,” as a way to put economic and political pressure on the Iranian regime, the first time that Washington has so designated the military of a foreign government. It wasn't long, however, before Iranian President Hassan Rouhani fired back, when on Tuesday, according to Agence France Presse, asked in a public speech, “Who are you to label revolutionary institutions as terrorists?” He charged that the U.S. is “...the leader of world terrorism...”

Within a day after Trump was busy designating the IRGC as terrorists, The Independent newspaper reported, “...reports are reemerging of the Trump Organization's alleged participation in a scheme that likely helped the IRGC launder money to fund its interests abroad.” One interest was in Baku, Azerbaijan, where one of his famous towers was to be built and the paper reported that much of the money paid to contractors was in bags of cash, a classic sign of money laundering. The project stalled and there was no indication that Trump himself was involved, but his organization was.

And it did not escape notice, either by Iran or other countries in the crosshairs of the U.S. empire, that the U.S. has some 800 bases around the world in more than 70 countries. They are not there to promote democracy or bring medicine and good will to the people. They're there for the resources and to, eventually, control as much of the life of those countries as possible. While the U.S. complains about “interference” in its own elections, it has overthrown enough democratically-elected governments as to have made it a lifelong habit. Some see that as terrorism.

The president, within a few days, has fired the Secret Service head and other heads reportedly are about to roll and the description by a number of observers and pundits of a White House in chaos seems to be deadly accurate. He flits from one crisis to another and, if there is no crisis in some aspect of his reign, he'll create one. In chaos is the salvation of a con man.

His obsession with building a wall to keep out “the other,” and his animus against “the other,” is more than strange for someone who purportedly heads “the nation of immigrants,” the “melting pot.” Trump has taken a few months off from his quest to flog black athletes endlessly for daring to exercise their First Amendment rights to protest against police brutality, but don't worry, he'll be back.

The program to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro uses an old U.S. playbook in foreign affairs, and Trump has picked up all of the habits of empire in the swamp that he promised to clean up, and he seems to enjoy swimming in the brackish waters, made more toxic by his presence. It's hard to tell whether he is treating countries like Venezuela as he treats “loser” American citizens (they're not as rich or white as he is), or vice versa. He does think in those terms and he believes himself to be the winner in all things. All others are “losers.” Wage working men and women, take heed.

The president doesn't seem to be able to focus on any one thing for very long and he tries to make that seem like a positive thing, but it might just be that his brain has more parts than it should and each one is taking on a different rage. Trouble is, that brain of his never seems to be able to get all of the parts to work together for very long.

It will be a long haul to recovery from Trump's depredations in the nation and in the world and the people who have produced the wealth of America are the ones who will have to do the heavy lifting. But the 90 percent of those who produce (about 292 million) can make the changes necessary. All it will take is to wrest the power from Trump and the 10 percent who keep him and others like him in power. The two-party system as it exists needs to be shaken to its core and the money that supports it needs to be choked off. Only a united people can do that.
