If Trump withers, so does America

Adam Lynch's headline in SmartNews, "Sources warn they 'don’t know what to do' as Trump's mind withers," and that is coming from inside the White House. "Donald is deteriorating before our very eyes," was told to Andrew Neil of the Daily Mail by one of the insiders. They blame it on the Iran War and the animosity Donald Trump has created internationally. World leaders have finally had enough and are turning on Trump country by country. This flies in the face of Dufus Rump's need for everyone to like him. 

Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, says Donald Trump came across as "raging, confused, and unraveling" during his recent speech on live television. The speech he was talking about was the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) and following is an example of what Garrison is talking about...

"To start, Garrison showed a segment of the speech where Trump repeatedly attacked the intelligence of former CNN host Don Lemon, saying that he has 'the lowest IQ on television.' At one point during this bit, Trump said, 'But I know what I'm saying,' to which Garrison said he could not 'figure out what on earth that's in reference to or what it's supposed to mean.'"

Garrison judged Donald Trump on two points, both of which are scarier than hell when you are talking about the person that sits in the Oval Office. He said...

"One is that he's saying things that make no sense. And two, he seems unaware that he said it."

If this was a Democrat in the White House, the Republicans would have found a way to haul

him out in a straitjacket. They would then assign the president's lunacy to the entire party of Democrats in a move to remove them from Congress. Exaggerated, yes, but appropriate logic when you are talking about GOP tactics. There are no ethics left in the Republican party. Donald Trump led the way for its downfall and his congressional minions have ruinously carried out his blueprint. 

Michael Wolff, Trump's one-time biographer says he "will probably never hear the tough truth about his latest 'bombed' speech" because "his team has consistently done everything they can to protect his ego from reality." The "reality" Wolff is talking about, of course, is Donald Trump's fight to become a dictator, and the American public's response to maintain our democratic ideals in anti-Trump demonstrations all across the United States. People are fed up and finally becoming very vocal about it. 

But there is nothing more frightening that what the Oval Office maniac said at the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD). When talking about running for president again in 2028, he said "I’m gonna do it." Here's what he said...

“I'm pleased to announce my intention to, and this is somewhat of a scoop, my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States."

There's more from Independent...

Folks, this man is serious

"He then brought out a 'Trump 2028' red cap and put it on.

"Trump has continually made comments hinting at a third term in office, but an amendment to the Constitution prohibits anyone from serving for more than two terms."

The fact that Dufus Rump has had smoke blown up his butt since he reentered the White House for a second term is why he makes comments like the above. It's like flying on a magic carpet for him, just an illusion up there in the clouds, while the world below is headed for disaster. You can attribute this to an insane combination of insiders around him who respond to him with only what he wants to hear, and a Republican Congress that is too afraid to question anything he says. 

Sorry, but I do not understand this, because as far as I know the adage that 'there is strength in numbers' is still valid; when a dictator threatens, the masses turn to their fellow Americans in numbers that can bring down this autocrat. Ever heard this?...

Ancient Saying: “The strength of the wolf is in the pack.”

Another reason this country is mired in Donald Trump, his Trumpsters and Republican dufuses are the apathetics, defined as "not interested or concerned; indifferent or unresponsive." AI says that there is no way to measure the number of apathetics in the U.S. today because apathy is a temporary state of mind or feeling rather than a fixed demographic. Voilà, does this mean we might expect this passive group of citizens to wake up suddenly in time for the 2026 election, bringing the Republican Party to its knees?

Now Let me leave you with what could overshadow all of the above...who Donald Trump has picked for his successor. This is so horrific it would require the movie rating of NC-17 (No One 17 and Under Admitted), Jonathan V. Last, editor of The Bulwark, describes,,,

"how financial ties to the Trump family and the social media platform could be 

motivating the business decision [for succession].

Bingo! The answer to Trump's succession is Donald Trump Jr., a numb-nuts if there ever was one. Here's more clarification from Last where he argues...

"that Trump Media & Technology Group — the parent company of the president's Truth Social platform — has moved to launch a new product giving subscribers access to posts before they go live in the public feed, calling it potentially 'the greatest trick in the history of insider trading.'

"It would give Trump and his family access to information before it's released to the public, and allow them to sell off that information — all tied to market manipulation, social media platforms and stock trading, Last wrote. And it's complicated."

The question now is, will Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg join the fray? Both are gullible and greedy enough, but I can't wait until I hear the response from the Republican National Committee. This is the kind of thing the GOP does at election time.
