"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 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."

"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."
