"The president leaned forward, leaned back, twiddled his thumbs, and did everything in between as his eyelids grew heavy in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon Cabinet meeting. As each of his Cabinet members gave him an update on how great everything is going, the president looked more and more exhausted, his eyes fully closed at several points."

The New Republic

"The last hour, his eyes were closed 80% of the time as he sat there with two Band-Aids on his hand."

… After posting a blizzard of deranged QAnon content, threats, and conspiracies on Truth Social past midnight last night, Trump was back at it again starting at 5:48 AM.

NEWS: Trump and Hegseth Hit With First Human Rights Complaint for Deadly Extrajudicial Strikes in the Caribbean

Good afternoon everyone.

The Parnas Perspective

“Trump is slipping. After he drew attention by posting wildly on social media last night, today’s meeting was clearly designed to demonstrate that the president is alert, active, and on top of things. But this made-for-television photo opportunity was anything but a display of competence:"

The news of last Friday, November 28, that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Joint Special Operations commander overseeing an attack on a small vessel carrying 11 people on September 2 to “kill everybody” is shaping up to be a fight over control of the United States government.

Letters from an American

"Trump could not stay awake while his Cabinet members were praising him, and so we had the wild visual of Secretary of State Marco Rubio praising Trump as the only man who could end Russia’s war in Ukraine, gesturing at the president sitting next to him, who was, to all appearances, sound asleep.”

"While he fights sleep, his grotesque collection of anti-vaxxers, stone-cold bigots, crooks, and multi-millionaires and billionaires in his cabinet are showering him with praise for the stellar job he is doing heaping all his hate on the world, while stuffing his bottomless pockets with millions and millions in kickbacks and blood money."

THE (BULL)DOZER

The fading Trump spent his bizarre cabinet meeting Tuesday fighting sleep, before waking with a sickening fury ...

Enough Already

"Trump is barely alive, and almost unresponsive to this firehose of putrid adulation that used to inject him with life.

I’m really not sure whether to laugh or cry at this theater of the completely absurd I am witnessing, but I’m pretty sure indifference can’t be a viable option."

"Just hours after posting up to 400 deranged social media messages overnight, pushing conspiracies about Michelle Obama secretly running the Biden White House, he arrived late to his own cabinet meeting. As members spoke, he repeatedly drifted into sleep."

Dr. Gupta: Trump's MRI Excuse Raises More Questions Than Answers

New remarks from Meidas Health’s Dr. Vin Gupta underscore that the White House’s explanation for Donald Trump’s mysterious “torso MRI” defies all medical guidelines.

"When he did rouse himself, he launched into meandering stories about cognitive tests he claims to have 'aced,' insisting they contain questions so difficult that '99% of the people from the fake news' would fail."

“In short, the Cabinet meeting is a lens through which the chaos and dysfunction of the Trump administration can be viewed. It is not a pretty sight. Indeed, never in our nation’s history has such supreme incompetence and monstrous depravity so thoroughly disgraced a meeting of the Cabinet officers of the United States.”

"new economic data paint an equally alarming picture of national decline. And as the fallout grows, Trump and his allies are scrambling for scapegoats, spinning conspiracy theories, and doubling down on racist rhetoric in a way that endangers not just our democracy, but the safety and dignity of millions of Americans."

@wdlindsy
And our mostly stupid Congress is doing NOTHING.
@wdlindsy Just release the Epstein Files. Long overdue.

@wdlindsy without trump the maga movement is hollow. Can you picture creeper Vance trying to hold the coalition together?

They have to prop him up and pretend it's fine because they have no plan b...

And the movement will likely pass to massive infighting as soon as he is not there to bring it together...

@Sablebadger I agree. Unless someone like Fuentes gets pushed forward as the replacement.
