The latest Trump Cabinet meeting, lasting more than three hours, is an elaboration of earlier meetings where the Cabinet members engage in mind boggling praise of the President.
Groveling and flattery have become predominant in a way never occurring before with any other President.
Watching and listening to the effusive praise, which reminds one of the equivalent such behavior toward Kim Jong Un of North Korea, Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation, and other authoritarian figures past and present, is enough to make one wish to vomit.
And Trump ranting for over three hours, clearly mentally unhinged, and talking about some thinking he should be a dictator, is extremely alarming.
It is clear that his mental state is, without a doubt, in deterioration before our eyes, and yet no one speaks up, and even the news media, while noticing, do not go after Trump, as many did toward Joe Biden, who was never in such a disastrous mental state as Trump clearly is.
There is an old saying, “To see what kind of leader someone will be, give them a little bit of power and see how soon it takes them to start abusing it!
It is noted that power reveals, as well as corrupts. The core idea is that power does not create a new, evil person. Instead, it acts as a magnifying glass, revealing a person’s preexisting flaws or strengths by removing the social constraints that previously held them in check.
Well said, Wayne!
