Much more worrisome than the sad spectacle of a dying man is the abject failure of anybody, even his family, to help him. He is being abused by the Republican sociopaths to forward their Christofascistic agenda, and by his family to line their ample pockets. Retribution for this may not be swift, but it must be thorough.
I follow Aaron's posts every day because I don't watch Fox News and I'm not on his social media app. I am aware of the efforts of the healthcare professionals referenced here.
It's safe to say that we know that the president is seriously unwell. It's not well hidden at all. No efforts to get accurate information to the public have resulted in anything meaningful. I no longer wait for information, I just want this awful mess to be over.
“… asking aides to explain to him what the orders being placed in front of him actually did.
After listening to a lengthy explanation of an order that would expand the number of federal employees who can be fired by him, Trump still didn’t quite understand.
“And the reason for this was, what? Whose idea was that?” he said.”
Dr. Brandy X. Lee and her colleagues laid out the case for Trump’s mental illness perfectly in “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump”. It was published seemingly so long ago in 2019. I haven’t read her follow up book because her first book was so convincing.
The Dark Triad is a psychological theory describing three malevolent personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Individuals with these traits are characterized by callousness, manipulation, a lack of empathy, and a willingness to exploit others for personal gain (from Wikipedia). People who are at the extreme end of the Triad are untreatable.
Trump is the poster child of the Dark Triad. He surrounds himself with weaker versions of himself, most of whom also have some level of the Dark Triad. They also are broken, hollow people. There is no reasoning with these people. None. The thing is, our society doesn’t learn about these things. Psychology and psychiatry remain taboo subjects. {sigh}
The vice-president is openly aligned with Europe’s fascists and racists, which must give pause to anyone imagining the day after. And with the Mike Johnson of it all, one wonders how a truly awful weasel such as he would act in the event he gains office. And all that.
One day we are going to wake up and he will have succumbed to whatever it is that is draining the life out of him. What happens then?! At this point, is he even going to remember that he’s all over Epstein files? How do you prosecute a man for the heinous crimes he may or may not be guilty of when he is not in his right mind? It’s such a cluster fu*k right now😞. I am trying to be patient for the day of reckoning (midterms Nov 2026). The first order of business should be impeachment of the entire administration, not the 25th amendment that would hand the presidency to another charlatan dumb-ass grifter. Thank you Justin, Aaron, and all the contributors to Public Notice for continuing to sound the alarm on how precarious this situation truly is.
Oh had had aides that are upstanding decent people it would be less concerning but still bad. The evil people surrounding him are frightening. What are they telling him? What are they controlling? Absolutely frightening.
FOX news will do what FOX news does: lie. However, the corporate media, and even NPR and PBS news are not accurately reporting on Trump's clear mental and physical decline. Republicans in Congress ignore it, Republican members of Congress, members of his Cabinet, his family members, and the oligarchs are concerned about grabbing as much power and wealth as they can, while they can. The Supreme Court refuses to check him because the conservative justices subscribe to the unitary executive theory, and they are looking at whoever follows Trump into office, whether it is the Vice President if Trump dies in office, or the Republican they hope will win through their gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Should a Democrat win the office, the Supreme Court will back pedal and be as obstructionist as they were to President Biden.
It's absolutely ouirageous the different treatment of Biden versus Donald Trump. A massive double standard by the media.
I can't see any of the Republicans around Trump deposing him. They have nowhere near adequate backbone and guts to do so*. Perhaps that may not be a bad thing. Trump appears to be dissolving into ineffectuality and given what a nasty, vindictive man he is that might be a good thing. I'm not at all sure that I'd like to see a President Vance in command. I'm by no means sure of his good will but think he's intellectually competent in a way Trump never was even in his first term.
*I know people prefer to use the term 'balls' to reflect moral courage but speaking as a man, balls are soft, sensitive and vulnerable. Not at all the body parts to think of when wanting heroic deeds!

Yes! This is so bad.

That’s the truly terrifying part.
Worse still is that he signed it—an order that will further destroy our Civil Service.
What in the world will it take for the corporate media to truthfully cover Trumps dangerous deterioration and for the GOP to stop covering up for him?
The answer is when hell freezes over, Helen.
