David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering, darkly funny tour through what they argue is the accelerating late stage of Donald Trump: a president who can’t hold a thought, wanders off mid-meeting, and yet is being weaponized by Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and others to push extreme agendas at breakneck speed.
:)
It is very funny as liberals can not come to terms with the society they have built.
Trump is not the cause. Trump is a symptom.Trump reveals a state in the US society while liberals before him were clever enough to conceal the state.
Trump is not manipulated. This board makes it so obvious. A year and half or so, or even less, it was the deep state by here, the deep state by there. Mentions of the deep state have disappeared. Not because anything resembling with the deep state disappeared but because liberals claimed Trump would put an end to the Deep state. They wanted him in power to fight the deep state.
Or now, not only Trump's actions are very hard to distinguish from Deep State, but Trump is a zealous servant to the Deep State.
So the term disappeared on this board organically. Trump's presidency was supposed to be a crusade against the Deep State, a reason to want him in power. Now that it has turned into a crusade for the Deep State, liberals must forget about it or they will provide a main reason for wanting Trump out of power. Trump is a deep state agent, and a zealous one.
Remember, peeps, liberal societies and criminal societies have much in common. One is that when gangs wars involve drugs, gangs do not fight each other to end the drug trade, they fight for the control over the drug trade. Same here, now they are in control of the deep state, suddenly, the deep state has turned in a non issue.
Braindead BSter
No proof of mental decline in evidence dofdoos.
Oom don't you dare call ouTrad braindead ... he's on your side dummy.
No BB it was directed at you. The fact is Trump does not use an Autopen like dementia sufferer Biden or his criminal supporters did. He signs everything himself in public and answer questuions clearly as to every issue. He does not have goons like Biden did - especially those who benefited from Iran, China and Ukraine corruption.
Sharp as a tack!
Lol, and how many on here continued supporting Biden despite his extremely obvious mental decline
"Lol, and how many on here continued supporting Biden despite his extremely obvious mental decline"
There's a fundamental difference. Biden was just a figurehead. The US was run as a committee during Biden's presidency. No-one really cared if Biden had lost his marbles or not. It didn't make much difference.
Bozo is different. Bozo is so conceited and so far up his own arse that he thinks he knows better than his advisors or the experts. He is making executive decisions in his extremely fragile mental state.
Just to add, Bozo's mental decline is not that frightening. Bozo losing his mind is a lot less frightening than an amoral, self-serving buffoon continuing to make harebrained and ego-driven decisions while he destroys the global economy and alienates the USA's previous allies one by one.
Oom don't you dare call ouTrad braindead ... he's on your side dummy.
No; The basic observation exposes liberals who claim that Trump is demented or so and liberals who claim that Trump works against the Deep State. Which means the comment exposes liberals over a large range.
The denial of this on the other hand shows that liberals from different factions know when to forget their so called division: any time liberalism is under attack. At that moment, there is no more left or right, republicans, democrats, liberals, conservatives... They all rally under the liberalism banner.
"There's a fundamental difference. Biden was just a figurehead. The US was run as a committee during Biden's presidency. No-one really cared if Biden had lost his marbles or not. It didn't make much difference."
WTF? was this legal?....Obama's 3rd term...
The legality thing...Funny.
Oh I'm sorry, is this news to you? Goodness me! Let me know if you'd like me to dumb it down further.

Sorry about your above remarks - at least one expect some intelligent comment on issues - the above one as perfect idiocy. If Biden becme menally deficient during his Presidency the Constitution applies in such a case, The Cabinet must submit a report in terms of Amendment 25 of the Constitution and the President is removed from office through proper legislation, , He is then replaced by the VP and normally the Speaker becomes the VP.
There is zero condition allowing for an UNELECTED Committee to run the Country anywhere in the Constitution and Judicial System. That means anything using the Autopen to sign off on Laws and proclamation is illegal and therefore criminal in terms fo the US Constitution and Judicial system,
The Democrats in fact committed High Treason if they ruled the Country Illegally,
Braindead BB
It is no use to come up with lefttist idotic BS on site.
Ou Maaik, before your blood pressure spikes again, I'm not saying there was an actual committee. When I say it was run as a committee, that would have been a committee of the usual suspects, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, the National Security Advisor, Secretaries of State and Defense, various Counsels and the Press Secretary.
Nothing sinister. The difference being that with Biden and previous presidents, those advisors actually got a say without fear of being fired or demonized.
That's all I meant by government by committee . . . people other than the president making decisions or at least contributing to decision-making. Not a deep-state-globalist-illuminati secret kind of committee like you obviously thought.
Now go have a nice warm glass of milk and a Marie biscuit . . . and take your meds.
Rooi, you're still sharp as a tack...and the whole Ruckers committee will agree!!

Ou Maaik, before your blood pressure spikes again, I'm not saying there was an actual committe. When I say it was run as a committe, that would have been a commitee of the usual suspects, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, the National Security Advisor, Secretaries of State and Defense, various Counsels and the Press Secretary.
Don't you realize idf such a sitation was in fact in operaion it represents high treason since exoecutive power is implmented by unelected people whhich is totally illegal and unconsttutional. What should ahcve happened was that Biden should have been sent packing and the VP should take over the presidency - with the elected House appointing a nee VP, That was the lgal thing to do.
The real plot as to get away with the situation by nominating Biden as DP candidate in 2024 and conmtinue woth the unconstitutional auy fo G overnance for another 4 years till 2028. Biden just became too dim to succeeed with that effort.
By th e way that is why Trump decided tht in mot cases Cabinet meetings wa to be attneded by the media, However in the last two years there were no cabinet meetings, When there were Sub-Committeee meetings is was chaired by eother Mrs Biden, Hunter of the empty head Harris - whaose husband is the Chinese Government legal representative in the USA,
S o that the people can ee who and w hy deciions are taken. Only in the case of top-secret info the cases were held in private. The DP wants to know about why they were not asked for House apporval before acting. Reasonm there are too many traitors in the Party - theyw ould have warned Maduro about what s forthcoming in return for kickbacks to enrich themselves.
.
Ou Maaik, just so I understand correctly, are you saying that a president taking advice from someone constitutes high treason?
That's what it sounds like you're saying.
‘Ou Maaik, before your blood pressure spikes again, I'm not saying there was an actual committe. When I say it was run as a committe.’
Gosh the incorrect spelling of committee twice in one sentence. Obviously not two typo’s, so clearly you simply don’t know how to spell the word.
Do you think a Marie biscuit would help? One of mine by the way, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Rofl!
"Ou Maaik, just so I understand correctly, are you saying that a president taking advice from someone constitutes high treason?"
No, that's not what he said...
I am saying is that a president suffering from severe dementia like the Biden case was - the Constitution is the only law that applies, If a President is mentally of physically unable to undetake the duties assgned by Conmstitution - the President was to be remved from office and replaced,
Fact s Biden did not chair any meetings and when he met with House memebrs and they asked him about certain proclamations he signed he denied that he signed anything like that, Such meetings were rare becaue he was to be treated by a specialist to have some lucid intervals.
"Gosh the incorrect spelling of committee twice in one sentence. Obviously not two typo’s, so clearly you simply don’t know how to spell the word."
Oh look . . . another point to Moffie! What's that now? 23-0 and January isn't even up yet!
Tell me Moffie, was finding a typo of mine the single best thing that's going to happen in your life today? Sounds like it. It was certainly enough to make you blurt it out with such obvious glee on this forum.
By the way, leaving an "e" off the end of the word "committee" twice doesn't mean I don't know how to spell the word, it means I was typing too fast. I used the word committee several times in that post and elsewhere on the thread.
Now, spelling the word "peel" incorrectly and spelling it "peal" instead, well now, that isn't a typo. That's not knowing how to spell the word. The fact that you were talking about someone else slipping on a banana "peal" made it hilarious.
Understand the difference?
Good . . . but it is 23-0 to you Moffie. Keep it up!

Do you accpt my lega interpretation on the Biden demeentia suffering required him being repaced by the VP in terms of the US Constitution alowing for his removal and repacemnt by the VP?
In a way I can understand why the DP did not want to replace Biden with Harris - Biden was a mental disaster - Harris was and remains an idiot under Chinese control,
So the Democrats could not even consider to get rid of Biden - they had to break the lw to keep him as President and the wrk was dine by unelected croooks like Hunter Biden and anoth er idiot bmy the name of Mrs Biden with the media contantly lied about Biden's health condition.
So Mrs Biden took Biden with her for a lunch and she mde her order and then the waiter turnmed to Biden to get his order, So Mrs Biden interupted saying "My vegetable will have the same I orderecd". With idicy combined ith promotion of corruption cpmtroled by Hu nter - the regime did massive damage of the image of the USA worldwide,
By the way in one of his lucid intervals Biden got stuck in a toilet in the WH and fdid not know how to get back to his office. He was treatedevery month by a specialist in Altzheimer problems and there was monthly meetings in the WH where th Justice and Homeland Security Secretarries report to George Soros' son on the implmentation of the Biden Administration imp,menting is father policies, Similar reporting was donme to Bill Gates on the Greens, Health and Agriculrua polcies Gates controlled,
So who was ruining th USA under th Biden's fake Prsidency?.

Ou Maaik, I'm actually quite impressed by just how far gone you are. You are truly a next-level individual . . . on many levels. Congratulations on that. I mean it.
Your insatiable need to demonize the Democrats in every single thing you say tells me all I need to know about you . . . and what I know is that the chances of me ever changing your mind on any subject is . . . well, let's just say those chances are roughly equal to the chances of Moffie conceding a point in his quest to win the board's tongue-sticking-out prize . . . so almost non-existent.
If that all flew over your immensely thick skull, ou Maaik, I'm just saying you're very stubborn . . . and very stupid.
If I don't answer your question, it's because I'm not sure if you meant "running" instead of "ruining" and I couldn't be arsed to translate the Shitoric.
I can change my mind on issues - but will never chang e on one thin g and that is bribery, corruption and maladministration linked to politicians and public servants,
I mean ruinin g because hat is whatn was ahppening under th Autopen Presidency. I can quote hundreds of examples where it happened. In aufdits of th e books of the USDF the Army could not provide proof on what $280 billion was spent, Part of it was spent on DEI emplyees who were paid every month but was never once doing any work,
In teh ssme Department Budget since 2019 every financial year there wer funding provided for bulding of 2 new nuclear-powered and armed submarines and for servicing of the 60 sumarines in use, In December 2025 t came out that during the Autopen presidency only 2 instead of 8 such submarines ibsead of 8 was built and of the 60 such submainess 20 was wothdran from service for servicing, But the money was spent in full,
In the case of Homeland Security the Autopen on instruction of Soros about $250 bilion was spent on accommodation provided to the illegal Migrants accommodation and grants - while millions of US citizens were living in tents on sidewalks of major cities in the USA.
When Los Angeles was threatened by fire - there were no water lnked to the fire hydrants and Billions f dollars went down the drain as a result.
In Minnesota over $9 billion was looted from the State Government and part of it was used to subsidize the AL Shabaah terrorists in Somalia,
As I said before wherever the Democrats is in charge the situation is bad from a sound management point of view, That is why hte F deral D ebt increased from $26,5 trillion to $37 trillion in the 4 ears of the Autopen Government.
The abve info is just kept out of the public view by the let-leaning media and can only be ontand by studying audit and other reports stemmin g from evidence under oath in Senate and House Hearings,

Mental decline se voet…..today Trump got off the plane after flying from the US, walked into a hall of a thousand people and talked for an hour an a half on many topics, hardly glancing at his teleprompter.
Ah now we switch from mental decline to ingenious schemer.
In his 20 Jan speech, Donald Trump claimed his administration had negotiated deals that would lower the cost of medicines by more than 100% in real math...WTF?
A 100% cut means a drug would be free...Duh!! Trump, went on to say that the reduced prices, might even be more like 500 or 600 percent..Huh??
That would mean the manufacturer is paying the buyer to take the product, which does not make real economic sense, now does it?!...LOL
In that speech, he also made a strange comparison about playing baseball in front of a mental asylum, but he kept on rambling whithout actually making a point:)
Watch the speech and ask yourself a honest question: Is this old relic really fit to run a nation??
Ramaphosa and Trump can always play Baseball together infront of the Mental asylum...as long as they both patients there :)
AI Overview
Dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease,
can indeed trigger sudden, intense, or intermittent bouts of energy, often characterized by restlessness, pacing, agitation, or, in some cases, a temporary return of clarity and alertness. While people with dementia often experience fatigue, these high-energy outbursts can be driven by a mix of biological changes in the brain, unmet physical needs, or environmental triggers.
sad but true
Another dementia trigger, Macs 63% AV whiskey esp when consumed by outoppies
This from AI.
U.S. patients pay significantly more for prescription drugs than Europeans, with studies showing U.S. prices for brand-name drugs often
2.4 to over 4 times higher, and overall drug prices nearly 2.8 times higher, largely because European nations negotiate prices with governments, unlike the fragmented U.S. system. For example, brand-name drugs are 4.9 times more expensive in the U.S. on average than in nine other nations, and some specific drugs can cost hundreds of percent more.
Trump stumbled with the numbers but he clearly identified the issue. Something none of the politicians we have had in the White House have done. Company Boards have age limits ….so should the Presidency, but Trump at his age remains on the case.

Sharp as a tack...suck it up buttercups. ;-)
Incomprehensible that some can't or refuse to see the undeniable & obvious mental decline
The only thing that’s declined is his ‘give a shit’ factor. Partly because of how he was treated by the establishment in his first term. He is determined to do what he thinks is right, despite what Woke folks like you think about him. I don’t agree with everything he does, nor with his style at times. If he was fifteen years younger he might be more circumspect.
But he is the first Western leader since Thatcher and Reagan who understands that we are in a contest for the fate of the world. And he is willing to play hard ball to secure it. He isn’t being respectful to Putin because he rates him, he simply knows getting Russia in the Western camp makes a huge difference.
Somebody once said he is playing chess while his critics are playing checkers. That holds true for the Theme Park leaders, they don’t have a clue. Their grandchildren will pay the price.
Exactly my thoughts as well Moz, well said
