There is nothing abnormal at all when an American president speaks more harshly to and is more critical of Australia and California than he is to Putin's Russia. That's something we see every day. Totally sane. And then there's this other thing he said...
Quote:President Trump had harsh words for one of his most fervent opponents during the pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly that aired Sunday. Not President Vladimir Putin, mind you, whose alleged unpleasant habit of murdering journalists met with a shrug from the president. No, Trump lashed out at the nation’s largest state, California.
“I just spent the week in California,” O’Reilly said. “As you know, they are now voting on whether they should become a sanctuary state. So California and the U.S.A. are on a collision course. How do you see it?”
“Well, I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump replied. “Sanctuary cities, as you know I’m very much opposed to sanctuary cities. They breed crime, there’s a lot of problems. We have to well defund, we give tremendous amounts of money to California . . . California in many ways is out of control, as you know. Obviously the voters agree or otherwise they wouldn’t have voted for me.”

Note that bolded statement. Let's reiterate what we know:
1) Trump gained the WH through 80,000 votes spread across three states which gained him an electoral college win
2) Trump lost the popular vote of US citizens nationally by 3,000,000 votes
So, in Trump's brain, this razor-thin EC win establishes as a matter of truth and logic that American citizens share a broad consensus
that California is out of control. This would be a fact.
To someone who is utterly insane.
