Trump is in a bubble, surrounded by yes men an women. He labels detractors as deranged at least, wants them to be locked up at max.

They have no incentive to tell him the truth, there are scapegoats galore, someone to take the heat for a while to deflect any negativity from our broken man president.

Now we truly understand what trump derangement syndrome is, it resides in the oval office, behind the oak desk surrounded by gold painted plastic.

You give them too much credit. They are just as hate-filled, selfish and evil as he is. Otherwise they would refuse to work for him.

It’s as he’s ALWAYS been. I’ve been watching his antics for over 50 damned years and he’s not changed.

Old Friends who grew up in NY during Trump’s desperate (and degenerative) attention-grabbing stunts have said the same thing. Impulsive, needy, con-man, cruel, fool who will do anything to anyone just to get whatever he wants so he can feel powerful. Clueless, except when it comes to fomenting hate and following Roy Cohn’s advice on How To Manipulate The US Legal System and Lie Until Greedy Power Mongers (R. Murdoch, for example) Pretend You Are Important and Elevate You To The Biggest Stage.

Along with total cruelty, he has serious mental illness, delusions of grandeur. Letting someone with cruelty and insanity close to power is never safe.

Yes. And understand that as his presidency unravels he will become even more dangerous, and unstable. Kind of like a wounded, cornered animal. Think narcissistic collapse. It’s not pretty. ✊😎

Musk’s teenagers have gotten into our nuclear files too. It will only take one serious mistake from these know nothings and we won’t have to worry about that incoming asteroid!!

How long before Wall Street realizes Humpty Dumpty Trump has fallen off the wall they placed him on. Their greed put us on this path.

If it gets bad enough, the titans of power may do something to get rid of him, although this might not be to our advantage as liberals.

When does it get bad enough? The rub is that once it’s bad enough, it’s too late. Ask all those Prussian industrialists about waiting until it got bad enough. Think it came right after they realized they couldn’t control the man they saw as a clown. And yet, Bayer and Mercedes survived. The titans just assume they will always survive.

He is a traitor, a con, a liar, a rapist, a sexist, a grifter, and a thief. (And that’s the short list.) I guess those who voted for his BS are of the ilk the require a vip ticket to hell to believe they are on their way to hell. We must stay focused and write our congress and reps and DEMAND legal action again the ENTIRE #DOGE crew, ICE, JD Vance, Elon Musk and every public SERVANT that is / has contributed to the scamming of the American people. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Excellent analysis, Jason. We the People must keep hammering away at the mango mobster’s fragile psyche. Relentlessly! No mercy for Don the Con. Make him rue the day he and Elmo stole the election (again) and crashed America.

The 🤡 has NO IDEA WHAT HE’S DOING! America is revolting against this administration because he’s a FAILURE. 🤣

I wonder how he will process what just happened in Canada. Rigged? Fake news? I just read his interview with the Atlantic. I honestly question whether he is in fact demented. He remembers a lot of details. However, he is clearly severely mentally ill and living in his own reality.

As ports on the West Coast, stand idle, we’re beginning to see the consequences of Trump‘s idiotic tariffs. People are losing jobs. Goods are stuck in ports and not being moved. We may not feel it in the markets yet but we will.

Oh, we most certainly will. And Donny isn’t bringing manufacturing back to the US. No business in its right mind would make that major investment in such an unstable environment. 🤷‍♂️😎

Actually in many cases manufacturing is leaving.

Nissan and Mazda have both announced they will stop manufacturing in the U.S.

These plants were originally built to provide cars for the U.S., Mexico and Canada as a single market. Tariffs have led them to abandon that approach.

While all the focus is on Trump and his blatant incompetence, we fail to see the real problem. All the vacuous-minded, unthinking, and hate-ridden people who thought he was the guy. This segment of the country will still be there after Trump has been committed to the nut house. Our country has not gained a cintilla of wisdom as a result of this.

Well, maybe a scintilla. Perhaps even two scintillas.

Na. One scintilla. 😏😎

I sincerely hope that idea is wrong, and fear that it may be true. At least a few former Tea Party / Maga folks might get that their surreal faith in Trump-Vance-Musk was sorely mistaken. Let’s keep reminding them of actual facts and countering propaganda spinners.

This administration is Killing People and Destroying America and All the Good that the Government does. The Anti-Science, Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Education, and Anti-Constitution Ideology is taking America backwards.

The on again, off again tariffs are having a chilling effect on anyone wanting to start a business in this country. It's the uncertainty, stupid, to paraphrase a comment from the 1990s (I think that Bill Clinton said it). Stupid in the case is clearly trump.

The problem is Trump's brain may be broken, but his flying monkee's brains are still working. They are all evil and Trump has become just a pupit doing whatever they say. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Keep up the protests so we can win back the house next year, and really make him a lame duck president. All blue.
