It's like Trump has issues with basic child development of mind.

It's like he's permanently stuck between a state of everyone having a state of false-belief until he discovers something and everyone else having a state of positive-belief once he believes something.

There is no understanding of him being able to have a false-belief. He can have a non-belief. But the moment he believes something it becomes a true-belief.

It's why he talks in these absolutes of "everybody" and "nobody" all the time.

I think it was on purpose at some point. It was a tactic of a conman and being able to pivot well. If Trump had one skill it was definitely this conman with charisma.

But, as he gets older, and is losing his mind live in 4k, it sounds like his brain is devolving to that of a child.

Like, I think someone should do the Sally-Anne experiment with Trump. I think his cognitive decline is literally failing and it might explode his brain not being able to say "everybody knows where the marble is" or "nobody knows where the marble is".

One interesting data point is that Trump brags about never having mentally matured past the age of six.

That's a very intriguing test. Off-topic, but I wonder if the initial autistic group might have scored poorly because of a learned worldview that other people always have knowledge that we don't, communicated by undecipherable social cues - thus, it seems perfectly reasonable that Sally would have learned of the marble's new location via this link she would have shared with Anne.
