Insightful article from Paul Krugman:

"We’ve also destroyed our moral credibility: Trump may have TACOed at the last minute, but he threatened to commit gigantic war crimes — and for all practical purposes our political and civil institutions gave him permission to do so.”

Krugman is well aware that Trump is a #narcissist and has learned nothing. Brilliant comment on his article, LOL:

"Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation."

One of the most incisive political commentaries I’ve read in a long time: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/08/europe-lesson-donald-trump-era-us-sanity - about an #insane #president who is worse than the pandemic, about the fiction to deal with a #narcissist, about the role of the #EU and why #GB should exit the #Brexit: "Continental #solidarity is not an antidote to chaos amid the waves of a Trumpdemic, but it is the necessary condition for resilience."
BTW, I like this: "The president is mortal. But the Trumpdemic is a more complex syndrome."
Europe cannot bet on a post-Trump US turning back to sanity

If the president’s first term didn’t inoculate the American body politic against tyranny, there is no guarantee that a second dose will work, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Yes, this is not good. I found this when I researched my book. (See bio) For example, Hitler believed the German people had failed him and he wanted the nation to be destroyed with him. Trump will try to take the US down, as Jim says, because he's a #narcissist.

"Trump is exhibiting the deepest, most destructive phase of narcissistic collapse—rupture—where the subject desperately tries to repair his self-image by destroying the world around him."

💯 Trump asked repeatedly in his first term about using nukes, and now he's also desperate. There is nothing a #narcissist will not do; there is no bottom.

@A_Mimi
He practically ADMITTED that he chose to go in the opposite direction b/c they didn't give him the #NobelPeacePrize.

And when you're THE MOST extreme #narcissist on the planet, it is easier to make history by using the most powerful job on the planet to fulfill the prophecy of The #Antichrist than by actually being good at your job.

I HONESTLY BELIEVE he WANTS to become The Antichrist. 😵

When you tell a #delusional #dementia-addled RAGING #NARCISSIST career criminal with #megalomaniac tendencies that they are literally "above the law and can't be prosecuted", what do scenes like this do to such a person's psyche?
Wish I had an AI filter on my tv that removed any sequence mentioning #Trump, or showing his stupid name. Wiping him totally is the worst thing that can happen to a #narcissist.

POTUS Donald Trump’s response? Release footage of a skyscraper bearing his name, a golden statue of himself, and a throne room with paid parking — and call it a “presidential library.”
