What baffles me is why people still take it all seriously, we've had well over a decade to examine his patterns of behavior and the takeaway is that fully 99.999% of his utterances are worthless. In the rare case that his promises are turned into some shambling semblance of reality there's always plenty of warning; in the case of VZ and Maduro you had significant troop movements for months for example.

Unfortunately by treating his every utterance as requiring attention he gets what he wants, the media gets clicks, bloggers get clicks, and people get to use it as part of an eternal argument over "what comes next".

People here at least should be more adept at recognizing and responding to patterns.
