It must be exhausting believing scientists, historians, and journalists have dedicated their lives to misleading you, while viewing a reality TV personality, known for decades of fraud and chronic lying, as your only source of truth.
A bit long but worth it
Today it became painfully clear what narcissistic exercise of power and psychopathology look like when Trump humiliated Zelenskyj openly in the oval room. In front of the world's accredited journalists, he called Zelenskyj "disrespectful", questioning his loyalty and insinuating that he did not deserve the support of the United States. As if that wasn't enough, he warned that Zelenskyj could cause a third world war - a classic psychopathological trait in which threats are used as a means of control.
It wasn't just a display of poor diplomacy - it was a demonstrative manifestation of power characterized by narcissism and psychopathy.
Grandio's self-image and need for submission
- Trump expected Zelenskyj to show gratitude and admiration. When it didn't happen, he punished him publicly. People with narcissistic personality disorder fail to question their self-image and use humiliation as defense.
Manipulation and threats
- Blaming someone for potential disaster is a classic psychopathic tactic. By saying that Zelenskyj is "playing with World War III", he blames him, while positioning himself as the only one who can prevent the catastrophe.
Impulsive and emotionally controlled power exercise
- When Trump felt challenged by Zelenskyj, he abrupt the meeting. A stable and strategic leader had handled the situation diplomatically, but a person with psychopathic traits reacts instinctively on the basis of his own feeling of loss of control.
But why did he do this to the press? This is why narcissists and psychopaths love to show their power in public. By humiliating Zelenskyj in front of the world, he sends a signal - not only to him, but to all leaders and nations: "I am the one who decides, and whoever does not obey will be crushed." «
What we saw today was not just a president misbehaving. It was a school example of how narcissistic and psychopathic leaders use humiliation, threats, and manipulation to assert their power. And just as in destructive relationships, it's never about building, it's about controlling. And why was the treaty on minerals? What does it take to drive a Tesla? Narcissists, dictators, and psychopaths idealize each other and scratch each other's backs in unholy alliances.
Trump can no longer claim to be the leader of the free world. His actions today place him not among democratic statesmen but among history's dictators. A true leader builds alliances through respect and diplomacy—a dictator rules through threats, fear, and humiliation. When the fate of the world is at stake, we should not blind our eyes to the difference. We didn't see a President today but a real-time despot.

This is why Robert De Niro is IMO one of the very best actors to ever grace the big screen ( and it has nothing to do with his acting ability ... which is right up there with Pacino )
The first starts about 3 minutes in.
I fear for my grandchildren.
Just announced - Trump's newest book being released in the near future. Titled "My Struggle" (in German, "Mein Kampf")
Mass book burnings of any contradicting philosophy to follow immediately upon release of his new book.
Well isn't that just tariffic!
What would be appropriate would be tar(iffic) and feathers……….
Looks like they may possibly actually eventually conceivably potentially materialise tomorrow? Curious to get deets on the reciprocated Canadian tariff measures i.e. what's going to go up for some of us lot.
Wonder how hard this is going to hit the auto sector.... And just how many times parts will get dinged 25% each way?

It will hit the big 3 hard being how many times parts crosses the border. Who would have seen this coming? We will have a taste of what it is like to have an hostile neighbour.
I would love to see we rise the price of oil ourselves before crossing the border so they will feel with instant pain at their gas stations.
We need new thinking and strategy to minimize the economic pain. What a s**t hole country which (he said alot off ) and lead by an asshole in his ignorant circles. He wants to turn the US into a Russian type government. Run by the oligarchs and lawlessness.

Saw comments today from analysts saying they were expecting plant closures within a week due to the fact that the profit margins on a lot of auto related products are only seven to eight percent. So no profit due to 25% tariffs why bother. Doesn’t make economic sense. This is going to hurt a lot of people and businesses on both sides at least in the short term. Not good at all.
Well DJT said we had nothing that they need.
Wonder how he would feel if Canada raised prices on products going to the US.
Don't think it will happen but would be nice to give it some of it's own medicine
