#Trump's mockery of #Starmer and #Macron is an extraordinary sight. I have never ever seen any other head of state or govt mocking allies. It's very rare to see #mockery even of sworn enemies.

Trump has always been a bully. But even a year ago, there was some restraint in his public speech, some degree of diplomatic nicety.

Was yesterday's outburst anything other than part of Trump's cognitive decline? Or is it some sort of reasoned and calculated strategic shift in US diplomacy?

It is, at the very least, consistent with his mental decline.

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario

You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

Thanks, @SuneAuken. That's a very interesting take.

@2legged

Thank you.

I have a whole thread of people saying this. They're not all equally serious. But some of them are.

@SuneAuken It's all quite fun.

In my life, the USA has had 12 #POTUS, all deeply dysfunctional, each with more power and adulation, while they commit atrocious crimes.

There seems little chance of trimming the imperial presidency. But Trump is the third seriously senile president in my lifetime, and he is the most comic.

I do love how #TheGreatSatan is being destroyed from within, by such #slapstick comedy. I just hope that the whole world isn't blown up along with the evil empire.
