I have no personal feelings towards Trump. But I see things the way that they are. Many, riled up by the hatred Trump spews, do not. It's disillusioning to see so many people under his spell.

King Donald is now using the Royal "We" instead of "i".

'I dont hate Trump but he spews hatred and has his supporters under a spell.'

Gawd what a plank.

The number of falsehoods Trump managed to cram into a yarn about his uncle John Trump and Unabomber Ted Kaczynski is impressive even by his lofty standards.

Quote

 

Trump was supposed to discuss new investments in artificial intelligence and energy, but then derailed himself with a long, strange ramble about his uncle, John Trump, who was a professor at MIT.

The president boasted that his uncle was “one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever, longest-serving professor in the history of MIT, three degrees in nuclear, chemical, and math.”

 

Quote

Trump also said his uncle taught Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber” terrorist who killed people via mail bombs. The president told a whole story about asking his uncle what kind of student Kaczynski was.

His uncle, Trump claimed, told him that the future Unabomber was “seriously good” and would correct the other students’ work.

“None of that is true either,” Colbert said.

Kaczynski went to Harvard, not MIT.

“Even more insane,” Colbert said, Trump’s uncle died more than a decade before Kaczynski was identified as the person sending explosives and arrested.

What a bizarre ramble, the sort of thing you might half hear from grandad in the nursing home. Nearly all politicians make factual errors but he’s talking about a close relative and has manufactured a conversation that could never have happened. Something that may have triggered this nonsense - the false allegation that Epstein and Kazcynski were at camp together. Jeff is on the Trump noggin a lot these days. Now he finds himself in the arena facing America’s Id, a monster he nurtured for years.

When Trump goes off into these incoherent rambles his supporters refer to it as the 'weave'.  Psychologists call it dementia.

Imagine picking Trump again after the Biden fiasco. Republicans had two perfectly competent middle-aged candidates in DeSantis and Haley but they chose yet another elderly guy whose grasp on reality is tenuous at best.

DeSantis would've by far been the best choice. Haley's a pro-illegal immigration, Israel first, slut.

He must be trying to appeal to the democrats   

[SpankyMcFarland]

On the Unabomber rant, most politicians would stop and think, have I misremembered this, is it plausible or even possible? A cursory google would have shown that Kazcynski did not even attend MIT. And not content with a simple false factual claim, he had his own uncle saying preposterous things about Kazcynski. There’s no error control there which is kinda worrying in a guy with his job description.

Republicans?

I supported DeSantis, but the left wing media and mainstream media along with Democrats all did their best to cast him as at least just as bad or worse than Trump. 

I mean, folks on the left were bragging that it was a better strategy to have Trump win the primary and supporting his doing so, because they thought he would be easier to beat. 

Ultimately, I blame a lot of this on the same stupidity as the first time. Americans for Prosperity came out in the 11th hour before the Iowa primary to back Haley instead of just consolidating support with DeSantis. Hell, if Rubio or Kasich would have both dropped out back in 2016 Cruz could have beat Trump. Not saying if Haley dropped out or didn't have that support DeSantis certainly would have won, but having folks more consolidated on him vs Trump certainly would have been far better.

Trump just tried to blame Biden for Powell's nomination when it was he that nominated him in 2017, Biden just kept him on. Before the election Trump loved high interest rates because he could blame them on Biden, now the shoe is on the other foot and Powell is an enemy of the state.

There are no limits to Trump's idiocy....  Even he's not that stupid (?) to actually try to fire Powell in fear of what it would do to the bond market and reputational damage to the US.  Watching him squeal for the next 10 months of Powells term is going to be comical 😂
