"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story

"The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

Public Notice

"We’ve made the point many times during Trump’s second term, but it bears repeating: There’s little reason to believe that any of this is an affectation. Trump is a lifelong pathological solipsist. He’s fed that solipsism by vacuum-packing himself in an information environment of buttery flattery, spending his days marinating in the most over-the-top praise both in person & online."

~ Andrew Egger

Trump in His Elvis-in-Vegas Era

Yeah, this is who we should trust in a crisis.

@wdlindsy it gets talked about all the time. The major story is that nobody does anything about it but talk about it. In every other position is society he would have been removed - CEO, baseball manager, teacher, heavy equipment operator, accountant, chef. This position somehow is the one job in which one insane man is allowed free reign to kill, grift and abuse people in plain sight, controlling nuclear weapons and secret police, because of a 250 year piece of paper. THAT’s weird.
The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it

The Government Accountability Office can't even verify the books. Here's what Congress must do.

@wdlindsy it’s relevant, but it’s not news. The madness of the god-king was in full display and was extensively reported on many occasions.

For example, day 1 of the god king’s first reign; the “crowd size” hallucination.

@wdlindsy Is it significant that this was known before he was last elected?
@kgw Perhaps significant as an indicator of how the media were determined from the outset to treat Trump — and the fascism his party now espouses.
