The world is in chaos because of a fool's attempt to keep his horrific lifestyle silent and his band of ignorant followers are assisting him with all their uneducated guesses . To bomb or not to bomb, that is the question and they rush to load the cannons. They have all committed treason!
What makes episodes like the Kentucky speech more unnerving, rather than just absurd, is the progression: the language gets looser, the detours stranger, the emotional swings sharper, and the old Trump "greatest hits"— the bragging, bloviation, grievance, sexual vulgarities, extreme paranoia— are less coherent each time. His speech no longer even pretends to be logical; it ricochets from tariffs to funerals to windmills to war branding, with the kind of verbal derailment that used to be semi-suppressed and is now turned into some kind of bizarre performance art.
If FTD (Frontotemporal dementia) is involved, as many mental health experts claim, this is what a progressive deterioration looks like: a steady erosion in which impulse control is eroded and the consequences-- the chances of a global disaster loom ever nearer
It is more than frightening that this one damaged person still has all the power. This is what FDT can mean:
No one here in Keen-tucky pronounces it that way, not even in the eastern Kentucky hollers. Maybe some say Kin-tucky, but never the mangling he did to our state name. Probably the coolest thing about his speech here on behalf of Thomas Massie’s opponent was that both Kalshi and Polymarket prediction engines gave Massie about a 15% boost within 24 hours. And P.S., the bourbon definitely came before indoor plumbing here. Guess our ancestors looked at it as a way of preserving the corn crops
The more I read about Melania Trump, the more I see a woman almost as treacherous and fake as her husband. AND I think she was in the thick of things with Maxwell and Epstein.
The size and scope of Twump's disastrous term is growing and spreading. We are a country untethered to reality, and drifting like an astronaut on a space walk who just heard a SNAP.
"That made for a fitting prelude to Donald Trump’s appearance in Keen-tucky, where the production values suggested a county fair talent show directed by a casino lounge manager having a mild dissociative episode. " < possible the best sentence in the history of sentences ...
Another brilliant essay that documents the ominous truth: Trump is inherently unable to process information or reason through options. When asked on Fox News when the war will end, he said “when I feel it in my bones”. This is where a devastating war without a plan or strategic goals has taken us.
It’s more evident every day that Trump lives in delusions detached from reality. Even if he were more aware, he’d be indifferent to the deaths, destruction, and consequences to others of his impulses. The only voices he seems to hear come from those who know how to manipulate his insatiable needs for greed and glory - Putin, Netanyahu, MBS, and global real estate/asset predators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
As Trump makes our nation a pariah in most of the world, increasing the risk of revenge attacks on Americans among other repercussions, do a majority of us care beyond our own immediate interests? Will the midterms be about rallying around the flag vs. high gas prices? Is there concern about the damage Trump’s coup has done and is doing to the essence of who we are and what we stand for? These are challenging times.
puppet controlled by a master puppeteer. Let’s agree that Trump isn’t all that smart. He gets so confused about what he’s “supposed to say” and his own grandiose thinking, that he can’t keep on track. He says the same things over and over until he has created a new “disaster.

Thanks for the link. Now I want to go crawl under the house and cry.

Thank you for this incredible writing! Definitely one of your best.
I am sure Marz helped and I hope you both enjoy a fun romp today!
