AIBU to think Trump appears increasingly unhinged?

[anotherside]

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

There's a Venezuelan template for that...

We already knew or heeded the warnings that he was always this unhinged. He was only biding his time for a second term, in order to go completely nuclear. Some of us are not surprised in the slightest.
We saw, we listened, we expected this.

It is all about implementation of Project 25. Those who contributed to it, support it, are his closest.

I’m one of those. I voted yabu because he’s always been completely insane and that this is nothing we haven’t already realised.

he needs to be removed but then we get president Vance instead. I can’t believe that this seems somewhat appealing right now.

I do hope they find a way to get rid of him soon, the damage he’s doing to the world is awful. How can they get shot of him? Can someone intervene?

The Madness of (Wannabe) King Donald. . .

The only way DT will be ousted from President is when the American people feel the impact of Project 25 policies. And decide they deserve better.

And the greatest terrifying irony of all is that there are people on this very site who are praising America for going into Iran to remove the nuclear capabilities it doesn’t yet have, and yet the US has said capabilities and now there’s talk of the US using them.

Oh and nobody seems to think the US should be going into Russia do they? You know? A country who actually do have nuclear arms.

I don’t think Trump has dementia. I think it’s a convenient get-out to explain that this is a man who knows exactly what he’s doing.

He’s definitely a deranged idiot. But he’s dangerous because people don’t take him seriously, and yet he’s serious.

But then you get Vance. What is needed is something that can force an early election but the American constitution doesn’t allow that and therefore it allows a man who is seriously ill and therefore dangerous to remain in power.

Sorry, and economic policies bite hard on the average American.

It is what happens when you allow big banks and big corporations to run the world and ignore the people who go out to work everyday to keep it all ticking over, he wasn"t "allowed" in, he was voted in, big difference.

I'm puzzled as to how America has managed to go from the well-mannered, intelligent, eloquent and witty statesman Obama is to
this.

And yes, Trump's definitely not a full deck of cards.

He might be after the mid terms. There’s talk of him being impeached then. But it can’t happen until then. But this does reiterate that America’s system is not fit for purpose.

It’s this sort of fuckwit comment that’s the problem - people who think that the behaviour of the US President and, by extension, the US, is only a worry for the US, when the reality is, this behaviour is far more harmful in the short and medium term to Europe than it is to the US itself. In the long term, of course, the US may have sown the seeds of its own destruction, either dragging the rest of the world along with it, or by causing the rest of the world to pivot away from it.

The strait wouldn’t have been closed/mined if it wasn’t for Trump’s actions in the first place.

'Lost?' seems to indicate that we originally believed that he had some in the first place.

Ordinary people do not talk the way Trump talks. Unless Americans are even MORE stupid than I thought. I am not degree educated. I am not the liberal elite. I know how to conduct myself in meetings though.

Stop apologising for it. Stop trying to excuse it. This is not ‘politics’. The president of the USA is insane. He falls asleep in meetings. He speaks of himself as a king and messiah. He shits in a nappy. He rambles on about sharpies in war cabinets. This is not how ordinary people talk.

Stop normalising rand diminishing it. It’s part of the problem. Starting a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files is not the same as a photo opp to fill up your car. It’s not even close. You acknowledge the stakes are higher but you can’t seem to see that one is optics and the other is dementia and psychopathy. Ed Miliband and Rishi Sunak aren’t psychopaths. They have bladder and bowel control. This isn’t politics. Christ.

I think Americans need to set 62 as the age limit for running for president. That way, even if someone serves two terms, they'll be leaving office at 70 - exactly twice the minimum age for the US presidency (35). Biden left office in his 80s, Reagan in his 70s, and they were both showing signs of serious cognitive decline towards the end.

It is utterly insane that, out of all the millions of people in American, they keep choosing such old presidential candidates.

Some days it’s really hard to tell what’s actually him and what’s deranged satire at the edges of apocalyptic destruction as the lines are super close and rather blurry.

The Republican Party allowed themselves to be taken over by MAGA. By bullying candidates who were not MAGA supporters etc.

He’s totally insane and has the nuclear codes. What could possibly go wrong?

No, he won"t win, the whole vibe has changed, a geopolitical crisis with surging food, fuel and interest rates will focus people"s minds, running Vance on Trump policies won"t work, Trump was a one off, a moment in time, it will be similar to trying to promote the royals without the Queen.

He was a deranged megalomaniac long before this presidential term. The constant pushing of boundaries, breaking of international and constitutional law completely unchecked, has only emboldened him, it feeds his power-madness.

Trouble is, he isn't an entity unto himself. He is the lunatic figurehead of a very powerful machine and when he goes, they'll just replace him with someone else to do their bidding. Until that happens, he'll wreak global and domestic havoc, and make as much money for himself and his cronies as is possible.

He is a lunatic. He is either a phenomenal actor doing a very convincing portrayal of an obnoxious despotic cunt who has gone total megalomaniac or he is really all of these things. Spoiler. He is not acting. He is a dangerous despotic criminal madman. Those complicit people around him by now have to see that he is both evil and mad. Its impossible now to pretend that he is at all sane and rational. Everyone can see that he is now completely unhinged.

I think Sunak and Ed Miliband are decent people.
