He’s a mess. It’s not even funny or sad anymore for that matter. It’s just downright sickening. Most of us spend our lives working hard, raising our families, trying to do what’s right while this monster tears down kindness while profiting at our expense. While we care about the less fortunate, he locks them up with little to no regard for their feelings. This man/child is void of a heart but he does have a soul & at some point in time, he has to answer for the atrocities he’s committed in his lifetime.

By "creating a closed loop where more evidence of guilt becomes more proof of persecution", it also provides the Mango Mussolini a platform for his narcissistic grandstanding. Evidence > Hoax > Deflection > Look at how great I am, best at *insert deflection topic here* ever. Whilst his tiny wee hands shuttle east to West.

“This isn't just political spin anymore—this is psychological warfare against reality itself…”

With this predator, malignant (psychopathic) narcissist it was never political spin. Erich Fromm wrote on malignant narcissists in “The Heart of Man”:

“They feel powerful due to those qualities that they believe were given to them at birth. I’m better than you, therefore I don’t need to prove anything. I don’t need to interact with anyone or make any effort either. I move further and further away from reality the more I maintain this image of greatness.”

Many of us warned before his first term that a man with this much dark pathology shouldn’t be allowed within a parsec of of the executive office of the USA, but the powers behind him spent millions & mlions to guarantee that the consumers once called “citizens” believed it was “just politics”.

Poor Donald Trump. He might be impeached and removed. As the old World War Two jingle goes, we would Heil, Heil, Heil and wouldn't that be swell???

MAGATs are racist to the core. They have to believe. MAGA political ideology is never going away and will survive Trump.

And the media just ignores it. His family really hates him. If they cared, they would get him help.

Lewy Body dementia +Chronic venous insufficiency = 6’ under.

Waiting for, “Breaking News…”

That is a brilliant account of what most of us know but could not so clearly say. Thank you Wendy. Since reading this l've realised that all his actions are also lies, denials of reality. Ordering the destruction of a $750million weather satellite removes truth about weather. Sacking the head person of labour statistics removes the truth about unemployment. All the DOGE destruction is designed to obliterate the truth and reality. It will not stop until it is stopped. There can be no reasoning with unreason.

I was going to click the Like button, but it's currently at 69, so I just couldn't do it.

My ex was so good at gaslighting I actually ended up believing him—it can happen! Thankfully I had a therapist who asked good questions.

I’m so glad many see through rump’s gaslighting and fake victim stance—now if we can get that through to his true believers.

Reading your Litany of Hoaxes was hard and exhausting work. Thanks a lot! lol. What I take from it is that by over-using the word HOAX in scandal after scandal, the word starts to lose its magical power to outrage the listener, even the MAGATS. It’s like a kid saying Poop Fuck over and over to shock his parents…. Eventually everybody gets tired and bored. When EVERYTHING is a HOAX, nothing is a hoax.

I hope this proves to be true and Old President Perv finally falls off a roof somewhere.

Someone should give him an accordion so as not to waste those back and forth motions.

Unfortunately, Trump isn't a hoax. Talk about a guy who can puff a real estate deal, he's puffed his idiot and racist followers.
