    Object permanence is when people remember that things exist when you cant see them or they are hidden. Babies develop object permanence as they get older. Thats why playing Peak-a-boo with a baby is so fun for them. You literally disappear and reappear in their eyes.
    This is saying trump is a baby who never developed it.

      It’s particularly apt because Trump’s opinions and interests seem to change from moment to moment depending on who he’s interacted with last.

      This is saying trump is a baby who never developed it.

      it is also saying that he expected the same from news readers. and to be honest this is how news cycles and the idea that readers can only pay attention to one scandal at a time worked for a long time and this strategy was generally working, so you know you fucked up hard when you try to cover your fuck up with a war and it is not working.
