What's the evidence that Trump has gone mad? Podcast Episode · James O'Brien Daily · 20 April · 56min

Better late than never: the growing consensus that Trump has lost his mind…

Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.

The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.

Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mention Kushner has received billions from the Saudi government (2/28-4/19):

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Not this year’s.

Doesn't this just tell you everything you need to know about the state of the British Right? People who are not outright supporting or flirting with Trump are keeping their heads down.

Anyway, remember when I told you to shoot me if I ever said I was thinking of writing another book. I’d like to take that back, please…

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

Similarly, historians will retch at Zelensky’s treatment in the Oval Office & beyond. We all moved on to the next abomination without even stopping for sandwiches…

Well sure, if you put it like *that* it sounds bad... 🙄

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Can’t believe the stories emerging about Kash Patel. He seems so sane & stable. It’s as if Robert Kennedy turned out to be as mad as a goose or Pete Hegseth a brain dead oik. Unthinkable!

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Ditto. I’m so sorry your gladiator question remains unanswered.

As the pressure builds over the coming 48 hours, and as the confusion increases prices and undermines confidence his mental state will deteriorate. I expect more of this to come. The problem is Iran has so much leverage - mines and area denial is more effective than rhetoric and sabre rattling.

Bereaved family members of Covid victims write to Nigel Farage urging him to sack his Croydon candidate who said COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, with vaccines used to control the population.

Reform has not responded to our story revealing his views

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

I’ve been there & thereabouts for a decade now! But your analysis remains the best available in the current crisis.

This too shall pass, mate.
