Even a blind man with a crutch can see that something is really wrong with him tbf. I don’t understand why no one intervenes and allows him to ridicule the whole country and the government

Because they think they can manipulate him to do what they want, and on the evidence before us, are they wrong?

Exactly. He is so easy to manipulate because of his well known biases, long held prejudices about people and ideas, and he is basically their orange cash cow

On the one hand, it is good news for anyone that gauges Trump a big danger to humanity, that more and more people are realising there must be something seriously wrong with his mental state, and the way it is deteriorating at a rapid pace…
The bad news, is this oaf is here to stay, and ‘gawd’ only knows how much more damage he will do to mankind, before he spins off this mortal coil…!

This isn’t entirely factual. Obama was not invited to lunch because of anything to do with Trump. It’s easy to google why Obama was in Oslo, and he was only invited to a lunch because he was there anyway. If Trump went to Norway, he would certainly be invited too, albeit it would be less cozy for rather glaring reasons as it would have been a State Visit.

There is also a lot of nuance to your post about Al Shaara and Syria (the 10 mil bounty could be written much about, since the Americans haven’t been trying to kill him for several yeas and Western intellligence have had good intel on his locations , so this is much more complicated than what you write, despite being technically correct) below.

One thing that is remarkable in this is the claim of the Qatari investment as a justification for these closening ties. It is an absurd number that just is not happening. Yet he has now done this with Saudi, Abu Duabi and now the Qataris, who one after the other have raised the stakes on each other. These states have realized they can just throw a tempting number into the air and Trump will buy it, run with it, and shape his foreign policy around repaying a partner who has no intention at all of living up to their promise of investing in the US an amount that is no more real than if they promised a plaitipillion dollars. And he will not only not be held to account for it, but it will never be mentioned as a failure.

As for the plane, you dont save money when you are given something that is going to cost billions to retrofit to get up to the security specs required for AF1 when you have already committed money to a project already in progress.

I think the criticism of Trump that is often missed for all the focus on how putrid he is, is that even on the term he defines for himself then over and over again his presidency fails.

Give this 6 months and the Right, and a section of the self-identified reasonable middle who think its important to be seen to be punching left, will all have convinced themselves that planegate is another hoax. Just something the press criticism Trump over without there being any “there” there

“Russia Russia Russia, the fine people on both sides hoax, the inject bleach hoax, the planegate hoax…”

“We have managed to reduce the gap between Ukraine and Russia. Trump-Putin talk scheduled for tomorrow will be very successful”, - US Presidential Special Envoy Witkoff

This doesn’t mean what sane people ought to assume it would mean.

There are a lot of disgusting posts about this out there now, I think the one above is enough to show how this bad news is now being used to spread dirt.
