Trump thinks he’s cunning. But he showed me he lacks the brain for this job The US President can’t process the consequences of his own ignorance. The world needs to stop fooling itself that he will ever change

Trump’s Dark Night on Truth Social Attacking the pope was only part of the president’s disturbing meltdown.

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down.

It’s hard to take seriously any “Christian” group that backed Trump being shocked that he is an out of control egomaniac with no religious belief. He always was, they just chose to back the hypocrisy.

They should be quiet and live with their lies.

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Thankyou Hungary. You didn't listen to Vance, Trump, Putin or Netanyahu, which is the first step on the road to decency and sanity. This is an important win for Europe as well.

Trump translator:

“People are saying” = no one has said, except me

“Believe me” = I’m about to lie

“Frankly” = brace yourself for a lie

“Two weeks” = never

Brief Trump summary of the past weeks:

- “Open the strait”
- “Help us open the strait”
- “We don’t need the strait open”
- “Open the f’king strait or I destroy you all”
- “We block the strait”

The shorter Keir Starmer: with a raging psychopath running the government of the United States, the UK has no option but to reorient itself towards closer ties with the EU, since the US under Trump may well be an enemy, but certainly isn't a dependable ally. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The White House was directly involved in drafting those Pakistani PM tweets describing the ceasefire agreement—you know, the tweets it later denied knowing anything about. What a complete clown show.

Trump Has a War Crimes Problem. It’s His Mouth. He can’t stop freestyling about plunder and atrocities.

Will Saletan: "Trump thinks about oil the same way he thinks about women: The aggressor is entitled to take what he wants."

To be clear: NATO is a defensive alliance covering a defined territory. Trump launched an unprovoked war of choice (a war of aggression) against a country outside of that territory, and, as he himself said, he never requested NATO assistance because he "didn't need it." What morons.

Europe cannot bet on a post-Trump US turning back to sanity | Rafael Behr If the president’s first term didn’t inoculate the American body politic against tyranny, there is no guarantee that a second dose will work, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Did Trump Just Threaten to Use Nuclear Weapons in Iran? If such an order comes to pass, the military can and must refuse.

Trump Threatens to Destroy an Entire Nation The president’s position is that if he wants to wipe out a “whole civilization,” then that is his decision to make.

Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.

Trump advisers think the age of imperialism ended because of wokeness, not because 1) colonized peoples made colonialism untenable 2) technology made territorial empire unnecessary. They thought mere brutality and perceived genetic superiority would make wars against countries like Iran easy.

Authoritarians always require both of these things to be true:

That The Enemy is weak and easily crushed by the might of The Leader.

AND

That The Enemy is strong, at or already inside the gates, and that you must sacrifice your freedom to The Leader to increase His might to stop them.

The greatest challenge Farage has ever faced – convincing the world he was never besties with Donald Trump | Marina Hyde The Reform UK leader has belatedly clocked that most British people really don’t like the US president on whose coat-tails he has spent the past decade riding, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

I yearn for the day when I no longer need to pay attention to a single word that comes out of this ignorant arsehole’s pie-hole.

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?"

Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

Trump is being schooled on the limits of US power – but he is a slow learner | Rafael Behr Last year it was China’s answer to tariffs, now it’s Iran’s retaliation to airstrikes – ‘America First’ keeps foundering on global economics, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe

Trump’s ego-trip war has collided with economic reality but he can’t undo the damage | Rafael Behr The US president’s doctrine of lawless military adventures harms American interests and boosts Vladimir Putin, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

Was going to quote something like "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them" but no, he is just plain fuckin stupid.

A Very Stable War J. D. Vance says this Middle East entanglement can’t be dumb—because Trump is smart.
