It Should Be a Bigger Story That the President of the United States Is Fucking Insane

Look, we know that Trump is an extravagant, inveterate, unapologetic liar. We also know that he's a giant piece of shit, a miserable fuck who treats everyone as terrible as he feels. But liars and pieces of shit at least have one foot in reality. The real key to understanding how and why we are where we are as a nation (and as a world) is to acknowledge that Trump is fucking insane and to demand more reporting on that fact. Instead, we get some combination of glossing over his madness, dismissing it as just his personality, and rolling one's eyes as if he's a child. None of these reactions has ever worked, and his madness has gotten worse.

As his war failure (and let's be clear: the war is a failure and was always going to be a failure) causes him to spiral, as events that he has no control over once again take over his administration (like Covid in his first cursed term), he has gotten more and more freaky about spouting religious shit, desperately humping Jesus for clout with the evangelicals and support from the crazed Christian nationalists who have turned this shambles into a Holy War. On Saturday, for instance, he ended one Truth Toilet dropping about blowing up Iran with "Glory be to GOD!" which is just embarrassing and weird on top of being worrying.

Donald Trump is a fundamentally broken man. He was never stable or sane, and his need for wealth and desire to wield his power have taken on a mania. Like so many broken men in leadership before, he believes he is the thing that he's leading. He sees himself as the United States, that what's good for him is what's good for Americans, and that if you claim otherwise, you are his enemy and the country's enemy and the country needs to destroy you. But on top of that, he might really believe (and he is told this repeatedly by the deranged and/or grifting religious leaders who surround him and lay hands on him) that he is God's instrument on earth and that everything he does is sanctified through his connection to an invisible sky wizard who looked out for him to prevent him from being assassinated. No, I don't think Trump's a religious zealot. But he has said he's worried about his soul after death, and that's driven him even crazier as he seems to actually be thinking about whether or not he's going to Hell (and, to be sure, for those of us who are atheists, this is all psycho shit). Or who knows what he's really thinking? That's what it means to have such severe mental decay, to be delusional on top of being narcissistic.

This is unsustainable. Democrats need to be asking every day why Republicans won't remove him from office. Fuck it - come at it from a compassionate direction: Why won't they make an obviously sick and crazed man get help? Don't Republicans care about him? The president of the United States, who is threatening an apocalypse against a country that didn't attack us or even legitimately threaten us, is fucking insane. The world demands that that be the biggest goddamn story anywhere. The nation needs leaders to make it end before he sits in his ballroom bunker and blows the whole goddamn earth up. He never should have been president. That he is is a crime against humanity. That he could be removed and isn't is an epic tragedy.

1. Rudie nailed it

as always

2. At this point

I would sincerely wish for somebody to stand very near him with a large syringe secreted about their person. Preferably filled with some strong horse sedative. This could keep the Weekend at Bernie's grift going for a while, as they just incapacitated him whenever he threatened to take their profits (along with the entire world) down.

I could put up with the profits till after 2028, as long as I got to keep the entire world.

3. He is distracting from the Epstein files.

4. And this post is why they don't do interviews at diners with liberals.

Because the Rude One has clearly stated what most of us are thinking. When asked what a liberal thinks of trump's junket to Iran, we'd respond:

They didn't attack us
He killed 160 schoolgirls
Drove up the price of oil and gas - and made everything more expensive
Drove down the standing of the US with its allies
Killed more than a dozen US soldiers and injured hundreds more
Wasted $50 billion (and counting) executing this abomination
Caved like a fucking surrender monkey
He used the junket to manipulate the stock market for his cronies
And, except for a greater threat from the Iranians in the future, American citizens got nothing in return

I'm 100% sure it's easier to ask some dumbass who debates like he's a bumper sticker these questions - but if truth like this got out, that there were actually clear-thinking Americans who were pissed at this moron, it would scare the shit out 90% of the population.

5. And terrified knowing he'll be prosecuted if he survived his reign of chaos.

We can't let his barrage of distractions dilute his involvement with Epstein and the trafficked girls.

6. The rich own and control the media, and it have never been more apparent than in the last 15 months.

I will never become a story unless they decide to make it one.
