AIBU to think Trump appears increasingly unhinged?

Are you concerned that Trump has totally lost his marbles?

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I think the main problem with Trump is how he articulates himself. Not everything he says and does is wrong, its just how he goes about it.

The problem in America, is that there isn't really a centrist party anymore. The Democrats have gone too far left and the Republicans too far right (I have family in America who agree on this point).

We have the same problem here in the UK - extreme left or extreme right.

The military 'might' have justification to not carry out a nuclear strike order does not translate to a madman who has absolute authority to order launch definitely being thwarted.
Too many mights and maybes for my liking.
It is absolutely true that in the 80's a nuclear war could have started owing to an error, and it was stopped by someone down the line questioning the apparent massive incoming launch.
But I'm not happy with having to take that gamble when there is an absolute warmongering lunatic in charge who has sacked any high up military men who have questioned him.

No I won’t stop posting. You think it’s acceptable to use someone having to wear adult nappies as an insult and I don’t. Not even if it’s Donald Trump being insulted. I prefer to think of the bigger picture and that is all the others you’re attaching a stigma to.

And as for the possibility of world war 3. I probably know more about it in real terms than you do.

I mean I’ve not even mentioned it. I just want you to give it a rest.

The Iran thing is a leap in the dark, if he had stuck to dismantling Woke World and played around with Tariffs everything would have been fine. I am great with high interest rates, more income, but not off the back of dead children in Iran.

Even more deranged are those who thought it was a good idea to vote for him.

And yet he still surpassed the last number of presidents in living memory, go figure!

But the amazing thing is that 50% of Americans support him and think he’s wonderful ….
The mind boggles!

Really not the case. There are 341,000,000+ Americans, of whom 77,284,118 voted for Trump. That's not half of Americans, or anywhere near it; it's not even a third. It isn't even half the votes cast: it's 49.8 percent of the votes cast that year. What the rest of them, who didn't turn out to vote (or were prevented from voting by the Republican anti-democracy machine), think of him we cannot say.

The Democrats are not far left or even left by UK standards

I picked up on that too. He is on dangerously thin ice,

Someone with a better aim than the last one will take him out if he isn’t careful.

at one point to those in office around him grow some balls and step up and stop him? Can they do a vote of no confidence? Seems in the USA compared to the U.K. the leader is viewed as a God who can do no wrong.

How would Trump dismantle 'Woke World'? And who actually pays for his Tariffs?

Isn't he supposed to be all about MAGA?

Are you sure he hadn"t sat down on some mud or something, that would be more likely.

Quite purposeful poor aim. The victims were human collateral. The whole point was to get his campaign back on track.
no way a sniper positioned where they were wouldn’t have been picked up on a fucking roof.
give the people what they want as they say

He has severe dementia, frontal lobe dementia. He always leans forward (grabbing the lecterns for dear life), when walks, he drags one foot, has no empathy, mumbles and easily gets confused. Such as calling Greenland, Iceland.

Plus FLD creates impaired executive function - poor planning, decision making. Plus volatile outbursts and lack of insight.

Then he gets these IV bruises on the back of his hands which sometimes he covers with (pale) make up. So what IV drugs are these?

Then he boasts he's 6ft 3 and 224lb (16 stone) Utter BS. When standing next to other leaders and other major figures that are 6ft 3, he is much shorter. He's more like 20 stone. Then the body fat at 4.8%. That is bodybuilder ripped. More like 48%. Maybe he was 6ft 3 but older people shrink. My parents have shrunk 2 inches (DF) and 3.5 inches (DM)

CitizenZ · 05/04/2026 21:06

There's even MAGA's calling for the 25th on X. I think it is a combination of what he wrote, and the fact he did it on Easter Sunday that has sent them into a spiral. Unlike a lot of the demented things he has said previously, this one isn't going to go away as easily.

Only in the USA could a demented, spiteful, racist, draft-dodging paedophile and adjudicated sex offender be considered a more suitable candidate for the Presidency than a black woman.
