This Is Not How a Normal President Speaks. It’s a phrase that resonates, isn’t it? A simple statement that encapsulates a feeling, a collective realization that something is fundamentally off. And it’s not just about the presidency; it’s about the person. It’s about the way this individual presents himself to the world, the words he chooses, the cadence of his pronouncements. It’s about the whole picture – from the casual boasting about the size of a dead golfer’s… well, you get the idea, to the outright defiance of established norms.
It’s about recognizing that “my own morality” as the sole check on power is not just a red flag; it’s a blaring air raid siren.… Continue reading
Following the actions of the Trump administration, including military actions, investigations, and the use of force, a two-hour interview with the New York Times provides insight into his leadership style. The article argues that Trump’s actions are better described as tyranny rather than authoritarianism or fascism. This conclusion is reached through his responses, displaying a lack of concern for international law, a focus on personal gain, and a belief that he is above all constraints. This is further evidenced by his self-aggrandizement and dismissal of checks on his power, suggesting a rule driven by self-interest and whim.

In the 1980s, a visit to Neuschwanstein Castle sparked reflections on King Ludwig II and his withdrawal from reality, drawing parallels to a modern leader.

AP News reports the passing of Jeffrey R.

Donald Trump No Longer Seen as Strong Leader by Voters is the crux of the matter, and honestly, it’s a headline that’s been a long time coming. The idea that anyone ever perceived him as a “strong leader” feels baffling, like a collective hallucination. The fact that the proportion of people who saw Trump as “strong and decisive” has declined is, well, it’s something. But when you consider that the data shows almost half the country still sees him that way, it’s honestly depressing.

Kelly says he wishes someone would tell Trump ‘how math works’, and frankly, it’s a sentiment many people share. It’s not just about simple arithmetic; it’s about understanding the fundamental principles of numbers and how they impact reality. The core issue seems to be that a significant portion of the electorate, and apparently Trump himself, struggles with these basic concepts. The frustration stems from the idea that sound decision-making, in any field, relies on a solid grasp of mathematical truths. When those truths are ignored or distorted, it leads to a distorted understanding of the world.
The problem, as articulated here, isn’t just that Trump might misunderstand math; it’s that he seems uninterested in grasping it.… Continue reading
Tonight’s presidential address was far from a typical speech, marked by bizarre inaccuracies and a tone of panic. The president appeared to be attempting to bully the nation into acknowledging his successes, demonstrating a lack of empathy and awareness of public concerns. Instead of addressing crucial economic and foreign policy matters, he dismissed them, revealing his fear and contempt for the American people, as well as the military, whom he attempted to buy off. The speech offered no real news, painting a picture of a leader unraveling and unworthy of the nation.

The FBI Director, Kash Patel, vehemently refuted a New York Post op-ed report criticizing his leadership and professionalism within the bureau, dismissing it as inaccurate and stemming from disgruntled sources from prior administrations. The report, compiled from anonymous internal sources, accused Patel of being out of touch, focusing too much on public image, and cited instances of unprofessional conduct, including a bizarre incident where he allegedly refused to disembark from a plane without an FBI raid jacket. Patel countered these claims on Fox News, calling the allegations false, defending his actions, and highlighting his personal life, including using the FBI jet to visit his girlfriend.

Despite the erosion of his legacy and progressive setbacks, former President Barack Obama remains optimistic about the future of the United States. Speaking at Crystal Bridges Museum, Obama expressed his belief that the next generation of lawmakers holds the key to solving the nation’s current problems, urging the older generation to step aside.

According to The Washington Post, President Trump has had minimal involvement in the 28-point peace plan drafted by his administration to address the war in Ukraine. An unnamed official described Trump’s awareness as superficial, while also noting that the administration has experienced internal “chaos.” US officials have indicated the plan is not set in stone, with room for negotiation with Ukrainian and European partners, and the US has stressed the urgency of reaching an agreement. The deadline for the agreement has been set for Thanksgiving, and questions remain as to whether the deadline will be met.
