"It feels like something shifted in the United States this week after President Donald J. Trump threatened on Tuesday that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.'”

"It was a week like no other—and we appear to be in for more of the same until the US, Israel, and Iran reach a lasting peace agreement."

"The political landscape shifted this week, not with a policy debate, but with a six-minute press conference that perfectly illustrated the 'Streisand Effect.' ...
The most telling data isn’t in Trump’s rants, but in the comments section of Truth Social itself."

The Great Rebrand: Why Right-Wing Grifters are Suddenly Sounding “Woke” and How the Trump Era Ends in a Burn Book Rant
"The base is talking back. They feel 'rug-pulled.' ... As the movement begins to disassemble at the seams, we are witnessing the end-stage of an era."

"Now we might soon be referencing the Melania Trump effect: the phenomenon where holding a surprise press conference to state that you did not have a relationship with a dead paedophile, and would like people to please stop speculating about the matter, immediately causes people to start speculating about the matter. ...
I have another possible explanation."

"That is that the Trumps aren’t just morally bankrupt, they’re also very, very stupid. A lot of people seem reluctant to acknowledge this about the president; they will tie themselves into knots trying to argue that his erratic actions actually represent a genius playing four-dimensional chess. He’s not really a madman, they insist, he’s just playing one on Truth Social!"

"I understand why people want to believe this: it’s comforting to think there’s some sort of method behind the madness. But if there is any sort of method, I certainly can’t see it. All I can see is a man who thinks he can bully his way through life."

Judith Levine noted that Trump posted the following on Thursday evening:
“'Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!'
But a few hours after that, the commander-in-chief’s attention had already begun to stray from these mundane hassles toward his loftier legacy."

"At 1.13 on Friday morning, he reposted a story from the right-leaning publication justthenews.com: 'With Trump at the joystick, moon mission launches patriotism ahead of America’s 250th.' By afternoon, he was releasing the designs for his triumphal arch."

"Washington itself has become a performance of governance rather than governance itself. The corruption is no longer even hidden; it’s aestheticized in Trump’s White Trash ballroom, his triumphal arch, his grubby merch, all branded and sold as strength, honor, patriotism, but leaving a ghoulish, shameful stain."

"A senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has formally requested that the White House physician conduct a cognitive exam of Donald Trump. The request cites Trump’s recent public statements, social media posts, and behavior at events as evidence of possible cognitive decline."

Good evening, everyone.
"The lawmaker argued that experts have raised concerns about signs consistent with dementia and described Trump’s recent rhetoric as increasingly erratic and concerning. The move adds to growing political scrutiny over the president’s fitness for office."

"It has been clear for a long time that President Trump is a person with a disorganized mind and a disordered personality. What the past few months and especially the past few weeks have brought into focus is how the president’s pathologies have cascaded downward and outward through his administration. They have become institutionalized."

"It is the Iran war that has most vividly demonstrated the scope of the problem. In this conflict, the most potent antagonist has been the administration’s own incoherence.
The Trump administration chose to wage a war without deciding on its aims, mapping out a strategy, planning for contingencies or even being able to explain itself. The goal was regime change — until it wasn’t."

"The demand was unconditional surrender — until it wasn’t. Deadlines were issued and then erased. Threats of total destruction were made and then pulled back. Iran’s nuclear program was a casus belli in February despite that fact that we were told by Mr. Trump that it had been ;obliterated' last June."

"The president called for an international coalition to open the Strait of Hormuz, then said the United States could go it alone, and then said the waterway would somehow 'open itself.' He claimed that the United States had already won the war, that the war would end soon, and that the war would end 'when I feel it … in my bones.'”

"As the Trump era winds down, the country may relearn something that never should have been forgotten. Institutions need to be reformed, not destroyed; governing well requires skill and careful attention to detail rather than leaders acting on impulse and ignorance; and character and mental stability matter perhaps most of all."

"While pundits and politicians ponder the ultimate objectives of the war on Iran which Donald Trump, in league with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, launched on 28 February, it is worth putting this tumultuous moment in context against the rationale of the American President’s career so far – which has always been a deep and dynamic relationship with the irrational."

"One minute, we’re being told that nuclear annihilation is on the table – that entire regions could be wiped off the map, that escalation is imminent, that the United States is ready to unleash hell – and the next, it’s 'productive negotiations,' a 'ceasefire,' a 'great conversation' with the same people we were on the brink of sending to the afterlife."

" This week alone, we watched Donald Trump flirt with language that hinted at catastrophic escalation, only to quietly extend deadlines, soften his posture, go apeshit on social media, and send intermediaries scrambling to sell it as a win.
That’s the fog.
It’s not just the chaos, it’s the whiplash we experience."

"He looks in the mirror and he wants everybody to laud him. He does. But malignant narcissists get an even bigger thrill, right? out of harming, terrifying, degrading other people.
This is what I'm saying about the perversion. It's called omnipotent destructiveness."

"It's a real term to describe these people. It was actually introduced by my mentor, Otto Kernberg, back in the 70s. But they feel omnipotent through destruction. So the destruction makes them feel powerful."

"The truth of the world is that is is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control, the truth is far more frightening; no one is in control, the world is rudderless."

That's double-inverted Crazy Ivan.
After decades of propaganda about Soviet or Russian leaders being erratic lunatics, US voters have finally elected a US royal family consisting of erratic lunatics.
(Maybe even triple-inverted, considering the stories about Agent Krasnow being a Russian asset…)
