"Trump’s personal twist—what Pope Leo XIV aptly called the 'delusion of omnipotence'—helps explain not just the Iran war but everything else that happened this weekend, and everything likely to happen between now and the November midterms."

"Writing for the New York Times, Lydia Polgreen invoked D.W. Brogan’s 1952 Harper’s essay on America’s 'illusion of omnipotence.' It’s the durable national belief that any problem will yield to sufficient will and power."

Jay Kuo looks at Trump's blockade of the blockade, his attack on the pope, and his AI meme equating himself with Jesus and says:

"Taken individually, each episode reads like a stumble. Taken together, they form a pattern: a president who believes he can bend reality to his will."

"And the reason for this is clear: 'The people around him cannot stop the grift train—it’s griftapalooza,' as Rick explained. With all the wealth the Trump inner circle has been making off his second term, why would they want to remove the golden goose—or in Trump’s case, the 'Orange goose.'”

"As Rick [Wilson] noted, Trump 'is obviously not well. The world knows it. And everybody knows it.' Rick then added this poignant line, 'Clearly no one loves this man enough to say, Don, it’s time. You need help, professional help. We’re going to get it for you.'”

"The Iran blockade hasn’t noticeably shifted public opinion. Nor has the early effort this week to shift the topic to tax cuts…… the Door Dash delivery woman was supposed to champion the 'no tax on tips' initiative, but might be best remembered for dunking on Trump’s question about transgender athletes."

"As the day begins, it’s worth watching how Trump tries to stop the spread of the political toxin he’s been spraying over the past 36 hours.

Monday’s photo-op with a door dash worker didn’t turn the tide. Nor did his claim that he thought the A.I.-generated 'religious' image of himself was intended to be a depiction of a
Red Cross' doctor."

"I think Trump's real problem is actually, so to speak, with God. I think that's the real jealousy. I think this is the issue because Pope Leo shouldn't believe in God. Pope Leo should believe in Trump. I think that's the fundamental issue."

"I mean, he's saying political things, but based on the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth. And so it's hard to beat him. And I think it's fascinating and a blunder for Trump. to try to completely discredit the American pope. And then post immediately afterwards this crazy Trump as Jesus with the holy touch on some dying man's hand with choirs of angels and all the rest of it around him."
