Have you noticed that when President Trump isn’t threatening to blow something up, his favorite phrase is “unlike anything anyone has ever seen before!”? He says it constantly, even when it makes no sense, which is most of the time. If every American got a dollar every time Trump used that expression, we wouldn’t have to worry about inflation and the price of gas. The scary truth is that it’s Trump himself who’s unlike anything anyone has ever seen before—at least not in the White House—and hopes never to see again.
It should be clear at this point that Trump isn’t an intelligent man or a successful businessman. He’s a loser and a failure who had his father’s money, and lawyers like the infamous Roy Cohn, to get him out of all the trouble he created for himself. Cohn, probably one of the worst human beings who ever lived, was a chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy’s during his communist witch hunts in the 1950s. In the 1970s and 80s, Cohn became a prominent legal fixer in New York City and gained a reputation as the most feared man in America. His philosophy was “attack, attack, attack,” and he taught a young Donald Trump how to win at all costs.
Where’s Roy Cohn When We Need Him to Help End the Conflict in Iran?
As Anne Applebaum recently said in The Atlantic:
Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places. . . He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.
“A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight, Never to Be Brought Back Again.”
As one online pundit said: the noteworthy story is no longer what the president says, but rather the president himself and his obvious mental deterioration, as illustrated in the following:
He assured the journalists that he has had a plan all along. “I saw that somebody said, ‘Oh, he doesn’t have a plan.’ I have the best plan of all, but I’m not going to tell you what my plan is. You know, they want me to say, Here’s my plan, we’re going to attack at 9:47 in the morning, and then we’re going to do this, and then we’re gonna, and if you don’t do that, they say, I have a plan. These people know what the plan is. Everybody here knows what the plan is…. Every single thing has been thought out by all of us. But I can’t reveal the plan to the media. So, you know, but we’re just thrilled by the success of this operation.”
I previously compared Trump to the bumbling Inspector Clouseau: “Every move I make is carefully planned.” That’s Trump’s strategy in Iran—no matter how chaotic and dysfunctional it might seem, he claims it was his plan all along.
It’s about time that we all stop trying to analyze an out-of-control imbecile who’s deteriorating into senility before our eyes. First we had the end of Iran’s civilization; then we had a meme of a woman being murdered with a hammer. What comes next? Isn’t it clear the man isn’t well and that deploying the 25th Amendment to remove him from office is long overdue?
