Why Taking Off Your Hat Was a Matter of Life and Death in Early Modern England

Going outside without a hat in 1600s England meant you were either completely insane or totally broke.

"It’s hardly the first time Trump has revealed his God complex. ...

But Trump’s malignant narcissism is now utterly out of control. Attacking the Pope. Posting pictures of himself as Jesus. Claiming he won the war in Iran. The man has become delusional, violent, and dangerous."

~ Robert Reich

David Kurtz entitles his Morning Memo posting at TPM today:

"Trump II Spirals Deeper Into Madness in One Bonkers Weekend."

Then, noting his attack on the pope, Kurtz says,

"We’re still nowhere near the bottom of Trump II’s descent into madness."

Trump II Spirals Deeper Into Madness in One Bonkers Weekend

INSIDE: Viktor Orbán ... JD Vance ... Eric Swalwell

Morning Memo

"He chases cards, refuses to walk away, and turns what could just be a run of bad luck into full-on bankruptcy.

That’s where Trump is right now. And it is delicious."

"This is what it looks like when a man is spiraling out of control and reaching for something—anything—to get well. This is playing on tilt.

In poker, when a player is on tilt he loses the ability to judge between good and bad risks. He’s so desperate that he pushes all-in not because he has the nuts, but because he thinks he has no choice."

~ Jonathan V. Last

Trump’s God Complex

Losing allies, sniping at the Pope, depicting himself as Jesus: Trump is playing on tilt.

"Then, at 12:43am, he posted about the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. By 2:35am he was posting articles about Biden. By 4:10am he was still going. If this was your relative, you’d immediately encourage them to seek help. But this is the President of the United States."

"Let me walk you through the timeline of Trump’s social media posting last night. Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ at 9:49pm. Then Trump Tower on the moon. Then random memes. Then news clips."
