When a psychotic maniac surrounds himself with morons, crackpots, lunatics, stooges, knuckleheads, and sycophants, he’s going to get the advice that they think he wants to hear - if they know what’s good for them. Plus, he also needs a bench of fall guys whom he can blame and fire should his visceral instincts go south.
While posterity will denounce Trump as a loudmouth megalomaniac, they will reserve their harshest condemnation for us, the American people for allowing this clown to sit in the Oval Office.
I agree with you, except on one comment. You, as the American people didn't allow him, you voted him into the White House. That's a big difference. It's debatable if he cheated or the American voters should have known better, since they have experienced the disastrous first Trump term. But the fact remains, he's been elected president with dire consequences not only for the Americans, but for the international community. The Ukrainians, the Danish, the Greenlanders, the Canadians, the Venezuelans, the Palestinians and the Iranians will subscribe this.
Do not blame the staff. They are just following the whims of a psycho. They do what they are told. He does all the thinking. Then if it goes off the rails, he blames them. Think of them as the lions in a circus act with Trump using a whip to make them obey.
Why anyone work for him is a mystery. They know they are one minute away from humiliation. Bessent, Sec of Treasury has as much money or more than Trump. Not sure why he puts up with the abuse. I bet he has to cross his fingers when giving press briefings on how great tariffs are. He still cannot admit, the US public pays for tariffs.
Make that MAGA republiCRAPS. With the exceptions to a few republiCRAPS. Therefore, they will NOT reserve condemnation for ALL of us. Hopefully it will be pointed out in the history books for students that this was ALL the nazi/communist republicraps' doing--with, of course, their beloved Dimwit Dictator.
And if you believe that bullshit story I have a bridge to sell you. Another distraction from the epstein, trump, maxwell sex trafficking ring. It's not working and it will never work.
Every time Operation Epstein Fury ends, it counts as another war that the pedopresident has ended. Wow! I can see why Deranged Don got the Soccer Peace Prize! By the time the summer is over, he will have ended dozens of wars (if he is still alive).
tRump believes that if he says it enough, the cult will believe it to be true when it is not. It's tragic! The cult followers have lost their identity and independence.
I don’t think that accepting “we’re winning” as an explanation is actually what’s going on in the mind of a MAGA cultist. Jeff Tiedrich posted a telling video where a Trump fan is asked about a third term for him. When told it is forbidden in the constitution, she says that she doesn’t believe it and that there are “other routes”. She is asked if it would be wrong IF it was in the constitution. She replies that she is “not in favour of breaking laws, no”. She repeats “Trump 2028” and walks away.
There are two main rules for cultists:
a) The opposition is always wrong or lying.
b) Membership is worth anything.
The Trumpian approach is also appealing to bullies. Being logically consistent is not a goal; getting up the nose of outsiders is.
The only time the cultist or bully will stop is when it becomes personally painful. They won’t blame themselves, and they’ll want to blame the usual scapegoats, but they aren’t loyal in any real sense. They just want to hitch their wagon to the mightiest of all. Unfortunately, looking strong has historically made the Democratic base stay home from elections. The message needs to be pounded home “We CAN succeed IF you all vote”. There is no point in waiting for conversions; they will be thin on the ground for emotional reasons. Support media that amplifies democratic voices and factual reporting. Delusions are not something you can argue with.
Are there any American service people still getting injured, or, worse still, killed? We don't hear any news of such casualties lately and I sincerely hope it's because there are none. If there are, they should be getting reported, as IMHO nothing would get up the backs of Americans more than to hear that sort of news, then maybe they would do a lot more protesting about AHT and his war. (You can figure out for yourself what AH means)
This is just another sign the Republicons have succeeded in degrading and dumbing-down the American population through cuts to the public education system leading to the erosion of critical-thinking skills, corrupting the media to serve only as right-wing and corporate propaganda (without anyone realizing it!), and the outright failure of Americans to vote in each and every election. It only took 50 years!
Why should anyone be surprised?

According to Trump in the corporate criminals of the world, war is peace.
Trump is using the war as a prop to manipulate the MARKET for inside traders! His specialty is using everything/events as props.
Please let all this shit come to an end soon.

God, I hate Trump and every single person that ever voted for him. Sorry, I just can’t help it.
You're definitely excused, Faye! MILLIONS of us do. No apology is necessary--nothing to be apologetic about!
He's delusional

His cult is stupid enough to believe him no matter what he says or does.

Trumps military advisor, Putin, says Special Military Ops takes a bit longer than expected.
EVERYONE HAS DECLARED it's IGNORANCE.
