Trump seems to be crying out: Impeach me, please!

Let's further the analogy:

Trump tells a buyer in the market that the apartment building is immaculately clean inside, no shitstains, no broken toilets, nothing. He believes Trump. Because the buyer has this unfalsifiable belief that Trump is physically incapable of attempting to intentionally manipulate, planning to falsify and deceive, pranking, and burying stories or events that are important or those that have gained massive momentum if not neutralized immediately.

Trump tells you the apartment is tremendously clean and sanitary. Has no shit stains at all. Trump tells you all the other apartments are infested with STDs and you'd catch it if you moved there. You believe him. You are somehow convinced that Trump is physically incapable of playing pranks, deceiving, and manipulating. You justify this by claiming he's too dumb for that, saying otherwise, in your mind, would somehow be admitting buzz words like Trump being a "master", "giving too much credit," "genius." Anqd there's no room for nuance. Thus you conclude he's always telling it like it is because he's physically incapable of otherwise -- you can take everything he says at face value. Someone else even walks up to you and says, yeah it's a beauty inside, organized and everything. That does it. You're convinced.

Yet, some people are screaming this warning: "there's literally evidence that his apartment is a dunghouse, and other apartments don't have STDs but are the real clean ones. All the evidence points to this." But since you have a credible belief that he's physically incapable of deceiving and manipulating any more than a cat is physically incapable of doing your laundry on his own for you or doing math.

And those other people warning everyone are believed to be far more intelligent and thus, are capable of anything. Whereas, Trump is physically incapable of it, and you know this. The conclusion is that you trust Trump's word.

The sale is made.

Then you find out after the sale and entering the apartment, that it was full of shit all along, despite Trump knowing it yet saying otherwise all throughout negotiations.

At this point, you can't reconcile it in your head. Because you believe this man is not even capable of manipulating, deceiving, and pranking. He doesn't have the brain capacity. It would be akin to accusing a goldfish of stealing your money and goldie lying about it - he's incapable of that, and Trump is so dumb that he's not even capable of trying to deceive, manipulate, pranking, and failing, leading to more tries.

So you state that the only conclusion you can draw is that Trump must have truly believed his house wasn't shit-stained when he was convincing you it was clean and wasn't smeared in crap, so that you'd buy it at full price.

Or that he was just willfully mistaken. And that he didn't actually know when he sold it to you. He was closing his eyes, or he's been on a long vacation and it was shit stained when he left too but believed maybe someone would have cleaned it up while he was gone and never bothered to check, or something.

Because you've already ruled out that he's incapable of manipulation, tactics and strategies.

But now it's come out and we have plenty of evidence, within the past 9 months, to draw from, that he's known all along yet still constantly denied it. Evidence that it was his own shit stains on the wall. Evidence of lying constantly. Evidence that he tries to bury stories or bury any given national subject of discourse, or asks other people to help him bury stories, many times illegally to top Intel officials, FBI directors, hires people in his admin for the sole purpose of burying acts of crimes and news, colludes with news media, when there are big stories breaking gaining massive momentum, because reasons (and those are only the ones we know about). Evidence that that man was a stooge, paid by Trump to pretend to be a bystander. Evidence of...

Yet despite all this evidence, based on facts and reality, and using occam's razor to conclude the simplest explanation-- that he's a....

You instead reassert that he's not capable of deceiving, pranking, or manipulating, even though he's been caught trying and failing multiple times, but the point is he tries and continues to. And succeeding many other times, like feeding journalists reports with fake elements, then clowning on them for being hypocritical and posting fake news, forcing their resignations. You reassert that everything, without exception as some absolute, that he does or says is organic, spontaneous, on the fly, uses no well-known techniques, well documented tried and true propagandistic methods, nothing has been preplanned, nothing has been set up, no one is payed to stooge for Trump, no loud team of people are paid to cheer in his conventions
