As I read the headlines about the ongoing defamation trial involving former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, I couldn’t help but be struck by the sheer audacity and immaturity displayed by Trump in the courtroom. It is not often that we see a former president behave like a petulant child, but Trump seems to relish the opportunity to make a spectacle of himself. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, however, is not willing to let Trump get away with his disruptive behavior.
In a stunning exchange during the trial, Judge Kaplan threatened to kick Trump out of the courtroom if he continued to disrupt proceedings.… Continue reading
The online rumor mill has been swirling with speculation recently about former U.S. President Donald Trump’s health. Specifically, many internet dwellers are hypothesizing if Donald Trump might have secondary syphilis, pointing out red splotches on his hand as signs of the disease. The hypotheses arose primarily out of a need for humor and derision and had led to a quite the array of wisecracks online. As a commentator, it is always intriguing to observe public opinion, and the crazier it is, the more entertainment I glean from it. Yet, I also find it important to reflect on the consequences of encouraging such unfounded rumors.… Continue reading
Attorney General Merrick Garland says there should be a ‘speedy trial’ of Trump as the 2024 election looms. These words, coming from the highest-ranking law enforcement officer in the country, carry significant weight. They signal a sense of urgency to hold Trump accountable for his actions and ensure that justice is served.
However, the sentiments expressed in the comments above reflect the frustration and disappointment many Americans feel towards Garland. They highlight the perceived lack of action and delays in prosecuting Trump for his numerous alleged crimes. From the FBI resisting opening a probe into Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, to Garland letting the statute of limitations expire on instances of Trump’s obstruction of justice, the criticisms are strong and valid.… Continue reading
MSNBC’s decision not to air Trump’s Iowa victory speech live has ignited a right-wing firestorm, with critics accusing the network of censorship and bias. As someone who closely follows political news, I can understand the frustration from both sides of the aisle. However, I believe that MSNBC made the right call, considering the circumstances surrounding the former president’s speeches.
Firstly, the argument that victory speeches are unimportant holds some validity. In most cases, these speeches consist of thanking supporters, volunteers, and reiterating the candidate’s platform. There is rarely any groundbreaking information revealed during these speeches. However, it is worth noting that Donald Trump, as a former president and a 90+ counts-indicted individual, has had more airtime than any other candidate could ever imagine.… Continue reading
It isn’t exactly a secret anymore. It should be a headline by now – “Donald Trump is losing it.” This is something that has been persistently discussed in political circles, across social media, and even in hushed whispers among friends and family. Yet, the mainstream media seem avidly resistant to framing this narrative, and I find myself asking why they seem hesitant to make this an important story.
To paint the picture only from my observation, Trump has proven time and again his disposition to indulging his most baseless and incoherent rants. His vocalized thoughts are chaotic, bordering on nonsensical, and often leave people bewildered, asking, “did he just say that?”… Continue reading
As I sit here and read all the comments and speculation surrounding Donald Trump’s recent slurred speech at a rally, I can’t help but feel a mix of concern and amusement. Concern, because if the President of the United States is indeed experiencing a decline in mental and physical health, it raises serious questions about his ability to effectively lead the country. Amusement, because it seems like every day brings a new headline about Trump’s cognitive abilities, and I can’t help but chuckle at the irony of it all.
First and foremost, let’s address the impact of these rumors and discussions on Trump’s strongman image.… Continue reading
‘He doesn’t look well’: Video of Trump’s ‘dragging’ right leg sparks accusations of hidden health concern
In the never-ending battle of political mudslinging, it seems that not even one’s health is off-limits. The recent video of former President Donald Trump allegedly dragging his right leg has sparked a flurry of accusations and concerns about his hidden health issues. As a society, we should ask ourselves whether we should be fixated on the physical well-being of our political leaders or focus on more pressing matters.
One comment suggests that the media should be reporting on the facts when it comes to Trump.… Continue reading
Is the Nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ Defamatory? | The former president was found liable for behavior that a judge said is commonly understood as “rape.” So why not call him what he apparently is?
In recent discussions about the former president, Donald Trump, the topic of whether or not it is defamatory to refer to him as the nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ has arisen. The issue at hand stems from a court case involving writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s.
The court case resulted in a judge finding that Carroll’s allegations against Trump were established as a fact, thereby labeling him as a rapist.… Continue reading
As I watched the latest debacle unfold, I couldn’t help but think – how has it come to this? Former president Donald Trump speaking publicly and appearing to confuse the roles of two prominent women politicians – he suggested Nikki Haley was in charge on January 6, the day the U.S Capitol was stormed; a responsibility that fell under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s purview. The cognitive decline seemingly implied by this mix-up is deeply concerning, bordering on alarming as it perhaps signifies the initial stages of degeneration.
One cannot simply brush off such glaring errors, especially when they come from someone who once occupied the highest office in the nation.… Continue reading
A ‘whale’ of a tale: Trump continues to distort cognitive test he took. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test aimed at detecting dementia or cognitive decline, never included the combination of animals Trump identified this week.
As I read through the comments and opinions surrounding Trump’s distorted claims about the cognitive test, one thing becomes clear: there is significant concern about his mental health and cognitive abilities. Some suggest that he may be suffering from advanced dementia or the effects of a stroke. Others argue that his frequent cognitive tests indicate a hidden medical condition, one that his inner circle is attempting to hide.… Continue reading
