Summary
Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.
The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.
Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.
I mean… Why doesnt he just stop doing things that give him bad press.
If he were smart enough to do that, he probably wouldn’t have bankrupted a casino twenty years ago.
Four casinos, depending on how you count his six bankruptcies.
I can think of one thing he could do that would get him lots of good press, but it’s typically a TOS violation.
It’s probably a TOS against something he signed after taking elon’s money but firing Elon would be a really good first start
Rhymes with mooicide?
Narcissistic psychopaths gonna narcissistic psychopath.
Carry on with the negative press about the fucking neo-Nazi filled GOP. Fuck them.
And to anyone who has eyes to see with, the press is largely sanewashing Trump and toadying to his imbeclic destructiveness.
Wouldn’t be wild to say that there’s some dementia and cognitive decline going on with Trump. I’m not saying this as a joke or insult, the guy is seriously behaving randomly and people around his are too scared to disagree.
It wouldn’t be wild, it’d be accurate. The man has dementia. I’m on mobile and not inclined to tap out all of the indicators, but remember when he abruptly stopped speaking at a campaign rally, and just kind of swayed to his music playlist for 39 minutes, or when he described in detail the literal, giant faucet in British Columbia that he seemed to think that Canada uses to control water to the West Coast? (Or the literal dome over Israel?) Both losing track of time and losing the ability to process metaphorical speech are symptoms of dementia. Why else would his doctors have administered that cognitive test that he bragged that he aced?
Symptoms
Dementia symptoms vary depending on the cause. Common symptoms include:
Cognitive changes
Memory loss, which is usually noticed by someone else.
Problems communicating or finding words.
Trouble with visual and spatial abilities, such as getting lost while driving.
Problems with reasoning or problem-solving.
Trouble performing complex tasks.
Trouble with planning and organizing.
Poor coordination and control of movements.
Confusion and disorientation.
Psychological changes
Personality changes.
Depression.
Anxiety.
Agitation.
Inappropriate behavior.
Being suspicious, known as paranoia.
Seeing things that aren’t there, known as hallucinations.
Like when no one wants to take Grandpa’s car keys.
It’s definitely possible. We may just be seeing his true self more though
That’s how Fascism works.
All he has to do is not drive the car off the cliff but noooooo
I’m not American but, from what I’ve seen, Republicans seem to flip sides more than a quarter in a hobos pocket during an earthquake.
Having Republicans turn on eachother is about as shocking as the fact that it will be cold in winter.
This is going to be an even more interesting time in the coming weeks. When animals are cornered, things get very ugly. And we’re beyond ugly already with almost half of Project 2025 implemented already.
All he must do is explain the logic behind the decision using real economic concepts and theories. We’re all keenly aware of why he isn’t doing that.
Fred Trump’s dementia is the gift he gave his son Donald and the American people. Seriously outside of a couple people that whole family is a net drain on humanity
“Friends”
Obviously nonsense. He doesn’t have any friends.
He had so many ways of consolidating his grasp on his realm without looking like a total buffoon. That alone gives me hope.
The one thing that might save us is the MAGA obsession with forcing their virtuosic incompetence on everything and everyone. Their inevitable failure is built into their system.
Meanwhile, anyone with competence and experience is now playing for the opposing team, so if the Dems can manage to regain power, they will have a deep bench to draw from.
A very Fisherian / žižekian critique. Aptly said.
He has two options: 1) Stop doing stupid shit, or 2) Destroy the media, replace it with propaganda outlets.
Guess which one he’ll do.
You forgot #3, do something else crazy to try and distract from this failure. But #2 is definitely in the cards as well.
#2 is happening, but it’s too hard for Trump - fortunately for him there are people with their own agendas to do it for him. #3 is his only move because he can’t conceive of a better strategy.
People with their own agendas = opportunists who can see that Trump is 78 years old
Henry Kissinger lived to 100 …

They’ll have him killed if his lifestyle doesn’t do it for them. He’s only alive as long as he’s useful to them.
as putin sees fit.
What’s more interesting is what happens to Trump and his goons if Putin predeceases him. What will the puppet do when the strings are cut?
They are hoping to squeeze 2 years out of Trump, so they can give Vance two terms instead of one.
Oh, to be a ketchup stain on the wall…
It’s probably like this downfall scene, except with dementia and pants-shitting.
100%
And Hitler was known for sharing the contents of his bowels.
Literally Shitler
The fact that McHitler hasn’t stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.
Around 13,000 children under the age of 5 die every day. I’d love to see god explain that lol
Lucifer: I’m not in the business of murdering innocent children. That’s God’s jurisdiction.
- The Devil’s Carnival
“I work in mysterious ways.”
- God (probably)
“We didn’t start the fire. It’s always been burning since the world’s been turning…”
God: “No, yeah, that was me. I started it. Flicked over the first domino. Still watching the picture unfold. Quite the sight, wish you could see it.”
Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you’re Jewish and you’ve at least heard the phrase “god’s chosen people,” I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya…
My ex, who is Jewish, told me “chosen” is more like “singled out.”
My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He’s far from perfect, but he’s been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.
This fucker is the oldest president, looks worse than his age, is angry 24/7, and hasn’t had one.
Life is a cruel joke.
God realized they fucked up with all us uppity hyper-hierarchical monkeys and is going for a hard reset, or never existed. Change my mind.
If god, in the christian, all-knowing and all-powerful sense even exists, she must fucking hate us, because she allowed Drumf to happen. I could never venerate a god who is that callous and spiteful.
He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.
St. George Carlin
LOL. What a treasure !
Maybe who you think god is is all wrong? Maybe it’s the other guy or girl or it who’s really in charge.
Unless Trump is the antichrist, then God intended for it to happen.
hes a low-level demon escaped from hell, anti-christ would have been able to warp reality one of the key feature of its powers
He’s able to do that for 1/3 of the US population.
If there is a god, he’s incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.
Maybe God isnt all powerful and is forced to watch all she made kill itself over and over in ever more savage ways.
God realized how badly She fucked up and died of Chrstian pity.
The only justice in this world is the justice we make.
And the media is playing softball with him. This is the media not calling him out on all his bullshit.
Exactly. If we actually had a real oppositional “liberal media”, they’d be tearing this asshat a new one for his dumbfuckery.
The owners of the media are not on our side.
But Trump is starting to hurt their treasure hordes.
I thought he would’ve been impeached by now. I am a bit surprised he hasn’t been.
By the Republicans? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
By anyone. It’s not like democrats were particularly interested.
Well he has been twice so they tried I guess.
