The recent actions of President Trump, including his bizarre note to the Norwegian Prime Minister and his offer of a “Peace Board” position to Vladimir Putin, demonstrate a dangerous instability and a complete disregard for international norms. His behavior, marked by delusions, lies, and authoritarian tendencies, extends to threats against NATO allies and a potential military takeover of Greenland, actions that would severely damage U.S. national security. Further exacerbating the situation, Trump is increasingly exhibiting erratic behavior and employing openly authoritarian rhetoric. The article concludes with a stark warning that continued enabling of Trump’s actions only worsens the situation and urges the opposition party to take a firm stance against his dangerous policies.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT? This sentiment, echoing through the digital space, feels less like a revelation and more like a collective sigh of exasperation. The overwhelming feeling is: haven’t we been saying this for years? It’s a chorus of voices, some screaming it from the rooftops since before he even descended that escalator, others recognizing the truth in the years since. The frustration is palpable, a sense that we’re late to the party, the punch bowl having already been drained.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT, but many people have known for a long time. The man’s actions, his words, his entire persona were clear indicators. From the moment he announced his candidacy, the writing was on the wall. The rhetoric, the brashness, the lack of any discernible filter – it was all there. Some observed it with concern, others with amusement, but the fundamental truth remained: the man was, and is, a walking, talking catastrophe waiting to happen. To suggest that now, in the face of what feels like impending doom, is the opportune moment to realize this is almost comical.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT, because the evidence continues to mount. Every press conference, every interview, every social media rant further solidifies the assessment. It’s not just the policies or the politics; it’s the sheer erratic nature of his behavior. The rambling speeches, the bizarre tangents, the apparent inability to grasp even the most basic concepts of reality – these are not the hallmarks of a stable, competent leader. His words and actions, once shocking, have become almost mundane. This is perhaps the most terrifying aspect of the situation: the normalization of the abnormal.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT, but the admission comes too late for those who voted him in. The level of distrust, the denial, the sheer lack of critical thinking is astounding. We are reminded of the classic line: “I told you so.” What’s even more frustrating is that his supporters were never, and still aren’t, swayed by facts or logic. Their unwavering loyalty is a testament to the power of identity politics, of tribalism, of a willingness to embrace any narrative that reinforces their existing worldview, regardless of the consequences.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT. It extends beyond the individual, encompassing the very fabric of our society. It’s an indictment of the system that allowed him to rise, the media that amplified his message, and the voters who endorsed him. The blame is broad. The problem isn’t just that he’s a dangerous lunatic moron; it’s that a significant portion of the population either doesn’t care or actively embraces those qualities. This points to a deeper societal sickness, a fundamental fracturing of shared reality, and a loss of faith in institutions.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT, and it’s a terrifying prospect. The man’s influence has already caused irreparable damage. The divisions he’s sowed, the norms he’s shattered, the institutions he’s undermined – these are wounds that will take years, if not decades, to heal. The worry is also the question of what he might do next. With the potential for extreme action, his recklessness is a threat to both domestic and international security. We are now in a precarious situation, and there’s no easy way out.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADMIT IT, but the admission won’t magically fix things. The damage is done, and the road ahead is uncertain. We must acknowledge the truth, confront the consequences, and work to rebuild what has been broken. This means holding those responsible accountable, reforming the systems that allowed this to happen, and fostering a renewed commitment to truth, reason, and empathy. The challenge will be immense, but the stakes are even greater. The time to admit it wasn’t just now; it was years ago. The task now is to ensure that, somehow, we learn from this tragedy and prevent it from happening again.
