Donald Trump’s speech in Michigan and his ABC interview on his 100th day in office demonstrated clearly how mentally incompetent and deranged he is. He lives in a fantasy world, rather than in reality!
Trump is more of a threat with his declining mental state than Joe Biden ever was, and yet his supporters and sycophants in his Cabinet do not care and are enriching themselves and producing a level of corruption unmatched in any earlier administration, including that of Ulysses S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, Richard Nioxn, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and even Trump’s first term.
Trump with his declining mental state is endangering American national security every day, and taking us into a massive economic recession that may end up as another Great Depression, more than like the Great Recession under George W. Bush.
Trump is on the road to making Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression seem tame by comparison, as 123 million people lived in the United States in 1930, while now in the mid 2020s, 95 years later, we have 327 million, nearly 275 percent more!
Watching the 4th Cabinet meeting and the total “love fest” and praise could remind someone of authoritarian dictators such as Kim Jong Un of North Korea, in their hyperbole!
This is sickening, and the fact that the Republican Party in Congress goes along with this submission to Trump is a danger sign for survival of American democracy and the rule of law!
Donald and Lydia lyrics
Song by John Prine ‧ 1971
(This Donald happens the the character in this John Prine’s song)
Donald
There were spaces between Donald and whatever he said
Strangers had forced him to live in his head
He envisioned the details of romantic scenes
After midnight in the stillness of the barracks latrine
