We know that ICE has quotas, and we know that also Trump has made these promises of these round numbers of people that he's going to deport.

Right.

The randomness is very much the point.

The randomness is the point of terror.

Well, I think my favorite psychological analysis of Trump, and these abound, right?

And most of them I actually find pretty useless.

But there's this one theory that Trump has no inner story.

That his perception of himself is entirely external.

And I find that so interesting.

And it kind of helps me understand what I'm watching.

Like I'm watching him always acting in a movie.

And he's a good actor in the movie.

That moment when his ear was grazed during the attempted assassination and the way that he rose and raised his fist in the air and like posed for the photo.

Fight, fight, fight.

It's so extraordinary.

And you think about, you know, who is that brave?

Like nobody is that brave.

But he's in a movie.

then I think inhabiting sort of that person who's rising up in defiance of this assassination attempt is also probably unkillable because, you know, he's in a movie.

But also it helps explain to me sometimes when he's in the presence of a very charismatic person, he seems to be in a different movie.
