"Looks like Trump Derangement Syndrome applies to Trump and his supporters." - WaPo Comment
What is it with the WSJ editorialists that they can't grasp Trump's clear insanity - which is the basis for his feral energy? The manifestations include his incessant back and forth waffling on Iran ('We have a deal! No wait, I'm gonna bomb 'em!), pulling all night screed benders on his social media platform- then napping during daytime meets, and making endless outrageous statements ('I like the inflation', 'We're gonna take Kharg Island!', 'The War's over!) then trying to walk them back. As Alex Wagner put it on 'Deadline White House':
Trump could be sleep walking, or sleep talking. It's unclear. He might as well not be awake, ever. There's no point even getting up when you're saying things like 'I love the inflation'.
Are the nabobs at the WSJ so devoted to his deformed Reepo agenda that they're willing to hurl this nation down the shit can to keep coddling him while castigating critics? Can't they see he's not firing on all cylinders, or even half?
These goofy cheeseballs in their Wednesday editorial ('Trump Nears The Big 8-0', p. A 14) actually had the freaking nerve to write with a straight face:
"When President Biden turned 80 in office, he celebrated quietly with his family and hoped nobody else would notice. President Trump will reach that same milestone on Sunday, and there’s supposed to be a literal cage match on the South Lawn of the White House, hosted by the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Mr. Trump still occasionally brags about his vigor compared to Mr. Biden, and indeed The President is far more visible and vigorous than Joe Biden was."
Oh really, goofballs? Then mayhap you missed the dozens of photos of your vigorous prez dozing off during the day at all kinds of Oval Office meets, and even at the NBA game Monday, e.g.
'Sleepy
Donald'? Trump accused of dozing off at Memorial Day event, reigniting age
concerns
And why all the day (and game night) dozing? Because he stays up half the night into the early hours posting insane screeds on his Trash Social, which even his former lawyer, Ty Cobb, tied to an evident insanity, e.g.
Trump Lawyer Calls For 25th Amendment Over PSYCHOTIC MELTDOWN
When Trump is awake and howling in his carny barker voice, the WSJ editorial geniuses seem to believe it indicates 'vigor'. Please! Can you geniuses not distinguish authentic vigor in an elder from feral energy? I. e. such as manifested in Trump's only debate with Kamala in 2024 - when he screamed:
- I directly called out a "feral" energy. According to my Oxford Dictionary: Feral is a term used to describe a domestic animal turned wild.
Or insane. Why the inability to call a spade a spade? Does a sane president say he "I love the inflation"- precipitating a market dump? Does a sane president keep saying the war is ending then backs up and changes his mind the next day? (Done 14 times in last 6 weeks). Does a sane president even start a war without knowing the first effect is that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz? Basically, shutting down global energy shipments - and sending the global economy into instability. Does a SANE president threaten to nuke the country with which he started his war of choice ?
Trump Has TOTAL PSYCHOTIC BREAK & Threatens To NUKE IRAN ON LIVE TV | The Kyle Kulinski Show
Which again makes me wonder, what gives? Why is the WSJ holding back, refusing to admit we have a senile guy 52 cards short of a full deck occupying the White House? An orange fruitcake whose actions and drivel have become so outrageous and inept that he needs to be removed under the 25th amendment. As MSNOW correspondent Alex Wagner put it after Trump recently bellowed his bollocks about 'loving inflation':
"I don't think we have ever been here before at this intersection of malevolence, incoherence and incompetence. I mean, you listen to these tapes of Trump and you wonder if you should even be listening to what he's saying about any of this. I mean he's so completely dialed out. It's not that they're trying to solve this problem and they can't come up with a solution. It's not like they're even trying to have a peace agreement in Iran and putting all their diplomatic eggs in the wrong basket. They're not even trying. They've just given up on the ship. They've given up, abandoned the ship. There's no one even in the crow's nest anymore.
As for Trump, he could be sleep walking, he could be sleep talking. It's unclear. He might as well not be awake, ever. Well, there's no point even getting up when you're saying things like 'I love the inflation'. And that is how you think abut Americans' financial situation. You clearly don't care, you're not doing anything about it.
And who knows what can happen with this war. The gas prices are just going to keep going up. And even if it ended today the gas prices would keep going up. They are cruising toward an apocalypse and stepping on the gas."
Will we ever deign to see such a hard-hitting assessment from the WSJ editorial Pooh Bahs? I doubt it. Despite seeing the same reality of their dear leader as Alex Wagner, they opt to live in fantasyland. So again, why the balking? Why the coddling? Is the Journal terrified he will come after them again with another lawsuit?
Even Weekend Journal columnist Peggy Noonan delivered her own warning that her paper needed to get serious in holding this soon to be 80-year old senile nut to account. That meant to cease giving him normal portrayals in the WSJ pages, or claiming in editorials "Trump is more visible and vigorous than Biden ever was." Of course! Because he's fucking insane, up at all hours posting nutso shit as various podcaster have noted, e.g.
Trump Suffers MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS As Unhinged Behavior SHOCKS THE WORLD!!! | The Kyle Kulinski Show
Ms. Noonan herself wrote her alarm column after his Easter Sunday outburst:
"Open the fucking Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. JUST WATCH! A whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again."
Writing:
"The post left his friends and foes slackjawed. They constituted hitting a new bottom, a new and infernal, face-lit-by -flames bottom, in world communications....The posts weren't showbiz they were sinister.
You destabilize the world when, as the American president, you say such things. You rob your own nation of a claim to moral seriousness in the military action in which it is engaged."
Instead of taking note of Ms. Noonan's warnings, the Journal actually trotted out an extended piece ('Late -Night Truth Social Bursts Offer A Peek Into Trump's Mind') which merely portrays the guy just going about his normal doings on a normal day and then just relaxed over late hours to do some re-posting - and "savaging his enemies". And you guys are ok with that? You need it to sell copy, get more attention? I guess the WSJ writers figure it's ok and the orange asswipe is just letting off a little late night steam, as when they babble:
"The posts leave the public with a stew of presidential musings and reposts, many of which are published while people in the U.S. are asleep. Most of the posts get little scrutiny disappearing into the cascade of posts in his account."
At a deeper level, the Journal's editors do seem aware that something is seriously amiss with their 'dear leader'. As in their June 3 lead editorial ('What's Up With Trump And NATO?') wherein an alarm is sounded over a sudden drawdown of NATO forces in Europe even as Russian drones are crashing into Romania - a NATO country. As the editors write:
"The Kremlin is probing to test NATO's response which makes it all the more puzzling that President Trump is sending confusing messages about America's commitment to the defense of Europe."
But this has been ongoing since his vile, unhinged ambush of Volodymyr Zelinsky in an Oval Office meeting in Feb. last year:
E.g. Trump's Outbursts & Castigation Of Zelensky Reveals The Orange Turd As The Hard Russian Asset We Always Suspected
Wherein I noted:
"After Zelensky talked about how Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 with little Western intervention, Trump cut in and tried and correct him. He then gave up on that angle and berated
Prompting even the Journal's illustrious editors to write in their March 1 editorial ('Putin Wins An Oval Office Spectacle', p. A14 ):
"Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years. So it s bewildering to see Trump's allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength.":
And let's not forget how the orange freak gave Putin the literal red carpet treatment in Anchorage last summer, e.g.
Anchorage Meet Proved Trump Is Still Putin's Bitch
Which had Putin so gratified he even departed with a mug that looked like the cat that swallowed the canary, e.g.
Maybe the Journal editors need further confirmation about Trump and his MAGA tribe as Russkie assets. Well, they need look no further than the WSJ article ('Putin Rebuffs Kyiv's Offer For Peace Talks', June 3, p. A9) where we read:
"For his forum in St. Petersburg, designed to strengthen President Vladimir Putin's case that Moscow still has some international heft despite the war with Ukraine, one need look no further than Putin's trade links with China and India. He also invited a carefully selected audience including a raft of Moscow-friendly Americans, most of them members of the MAGA movement - such as right wing commentator Candace Owens.
Also present was the U.S. fine arts commissioner, Rodney Mims Cook Jr., in charge of Trump's White House Ballroom redevelopment, who attended the conference in a personal capacity. During a question and answer session with Putin, Cook praised the city and passed along greetings from President Trump.
'Pass the puck back to President Trump', Putin said gleefully."
So it appears the WSJ editors are left with two not so nice choices. Either finally admit that Capt. Bonespurs is a Russian asset, e.g.
Or admit, finally, his inchoate, incoherent behavior at every level is a sign of dementia or serious psychosis which warrants removal under the 25th amendment, i.e.

Congressional lawmakers and Trump’s own former lawyer are panicking over how racked President Donald Trump’s mind appears to be with illness.
“I don't know how anyone can see what he posts or watch him in any meeting and think that he's fit for office,” said one lawmaker speaking to reporters.
Another lawmaker said: “We have strategic ambiguity. But [Trump] is just … He’s confrontational, inconsistent, erratic,” said another congressman, who then fluttered his tongue in a demonstration of Trump’s lucidity.
“I don't trust that man to be able to cognitively make a complete sentence, let alone negotiate with China,” said another.
“I think he's seriously ill,” said still another. “I think Trump needs medical attention and there needs to be an intervention.”

The downside to spending a year attacking an opponent for his cognition and mental capacity is that your own cognition and mental capacity falls under the microscope. Such is the case with President Donald Trump, who has noticeably slowed as his 80th birthday in June approaches, wrote CNN's Aaron Blake on Wednesday.
In his first year in office, President Donald Trump has appeared to doze off over a dozen times, and there have been multiple questions about it occurring in April and May. The most recent came just this week during a May 11 photo op on maternal healthcare in the Oval Office event. Reuters and other reputable outlets reported video showing the president appearing to doze or repeatedly closing his eyes. It has prompted renewed coverage and White House rebuttals.
Blake recalled Trump blasting the White House a “s— house.” After invading and capturing Nicolás Maduro months previously, Trump openly thought about making Venezuela the 51st state. In another incident, Blake pointed out, Trump couldn't identify Indiana University football coach Curt Cignetti. The coach was standing right next to him and Trump looked directly at him just moments earlier.

Appearing on Sunday morning news shows, top officials in President Donald Trump’s administration confirmed the plan for the next round of diplomatic talks in Islamabad, Pakistan: Vice President JD Vance, whom Trump had tapped earlier this month to lead the U.S. negotiations, would be there again.
Even as United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright were confirming Vance’s participation, however, Trump was telling the networks the opposite. Vance wouldn’t be traveling to Pakistan because of security concerns, the president told journalists from ABC and MS NOW in separate phone calls Sunday morning.

Russia is now bombing NATO countries, and it appears that President Donald Trump is asleep at the wheel.
Writing on Monday, MS NOW producer Steve Benen sounded the alarm about an incoming disaster visible on the horizon.
A Wall Street Journal report last week quoted several world leaders in Europe as saying that they fear Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to go beyond Ukraine and look at the countries he can go to war with next in an effort to grow the former Soviet Union back to its original borders.
"Russian drones have repeatedly crashed without causing casualties along the Danube River border between Romania and Ukraine since 2023. But the drone crash on Friday, on the roof of a residential compound in the port city, Galati, sharply escalated tensions between NATO and Moscow," The New York Times reported.

Daily Beast reporter David Rothkopf said President Donald Trump exposed his eagerness to dump politics and get back into reality TV at his Friday summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
“If you looked into the resignation and bewilderment in his eyes as he scuttled off the stage at Elmendorf, you couldn’t help but wonder if he wasn’t starting to think it will be easier to return to the kind of low-level grift that is his main line of work,” said Rothkopf, adding that Putin surely knows Trump is just a reality TV star.
“Trump framed himself as the host of the summit. But Putin was the center of attention, the person who spoke first at the post-event press conference, the one who was clearly setting the rules going forward,” said Rothkopf. “Shifting away from a ceasefire to seeking a full peace accord was Putin’s idea, not Trump’s.”
Russia sees victory as Trump adopts Putin’s approach to ending Ukraine war - The Washington Post
Excerpt:
Russian officials and commentators were especially enamored by Trump’s unusually warm red-carpet greeting to Putin on Friday in which they saw an opening to pull America away from its traditional allies in Europe. ...Trump appeared to have been swayed by the Kremlin’s contention that only a comprehensive peace deal was acceptable — which Putin has so far used to delay efforts to halt the fighting.
