Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Just the past few days: A social media posting about Rob Reiner that clearly demonstrates the president of the United States is very seriously mentally ill. That posting was written by a sick, sick individual(see: https://www.nationalreview.com/the-...reaction-is-a-sign-of-something-deeply-wrong/). Even by Trump standards, it was jaw dropping. It felt different somehow. Beyond the pale from a man whom we didn’t think it possible for him to go lower. Well, not sure about that last part, lol. And then last night. Where we had the chance to see what a weak, insecure man sits in the Oval Office. Most of us knew that already, but this speech was something to behold. Cracking under the pressure, we may yet see this man removed in a straight jacket.

The president of the United States just barged into America’s living rooms like an angry, confused grandfather to tell us all that we are ungrateful whelps.

When a president asks for network time, it’s usually to announce something important. But tonight, Donald Trump did not give anything like a normal speech or address. He was clearly working from a prepared text, but it sounded like one he’d written—or dictated angrily—himself, because it was full of bizarre howlers that even Trump’s second-rate speech-writing shop would probably have avoided, such as his assertion that inflation when he took office was the worst it had been in 48 years. (Why did he pick 1977 as a benchmark? Who knows. But he’s wrong.) He read the speech quickly, his voice rising in frustration as he hurled one lie after another into the camera.

We could take apart Trump’s fake facts, as checkers and pundits will do in the next few days. But perhaps more important than false statements—which for Trump are par for the course—was his demeanor. Americans saw a president drenched in panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job. For 20 minutes, he vented his hurt feelings without a molecule of empathy or awareness. Economic concerns? Shut up, you fools, the economy is doing fine. (And if it isn’t, it’s not his fault—it’s Joe Biden’s.) Foreign-policy jitters? Zip it, you wimps, America is strong and respected.

In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy.

I consider myself a connoisseur of Trump’s speeches. I’ve watched them and live-tweeted them for years because I think Americans need to see what kind of man sits in the Oval Office. But even by Trump’s standards, this was an unnerving display of fear. I can only imagine America’s enemies in Moscow and Beijing and Tehran smiling with pleasure as they watched a president losing his bearings, berating his own people, and demanding that they absolve him of any blame when things get worse.

His rant contained no news, other than an example of his contempt for the U.S. military, whose loyalty he thinks he can purchase with a onetime $1,776 bonus check. This is projection: Trump has shown his willingness to be bought off with gold bars and trinkets, and he may think that the men and women of the armed forces are people of equally low character.

This was not a holiday address from the leader of a great democracy to its citizens. This was a desperate tin-pot leader yelling into a microphone while cornered in his palace redoubt. The president has been unraveling for weeks, and his speech tonight, like Trump himself, was unworthy of America and its people.

Trump's crazed address was as unnerving as Biden's debate | Opinion

In what was technically a primetime address to the nation, President Donald Trump spent 20 minutes on the evening of Dec. 17 yelling into a camera.

Folks, the cheese has officially slid off our president’s cracker.

In what was technically a prime-time address to the nation, President Donald Trump spent about 20 minutes on the night of Dec. 17 yelling into a camera, hollering red-faced about how incredibly great everything is, when things in America are decidedly not great.

It was a torrent of lies and exaggerations ‒ about the economy, about prices, about immigrants ‒ that must have caused dozens of fact-checkers to spontaneously combust.

The lying, of course, is to be expected from Trump. But what stood out was his frenetic, angry delivery. It was like he had somewhere to be and was hacked off that he had to deal with some speech thing. The 79-year-old seemed incapable of pacing himself and sounded, frankly, like an angry, unhinged old man.

The untrue pablum ‒ “we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined,” “we have broken the grip of sinister woke radicals in our schools,” prices are "all coming down and coming down fast” ‒ flew from his mouth with a raised voice and a snarl. This was not an unpopular president seeking to calm voters and assure them that better days are coming. This was an angry loon, a street corner ranting nonsense with the cadence of someone reading possible side effects at the end of a pharmaceutical commercial.
 
Meanwhile, another Trump appointed lunatic is a busy beaver, deciding how soldiers should relate to God, and how they should not relate to God. Such nonsense from a man most military officers have zero respect for, and whom they regard as a nutcase.


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday he is overhauling the military’s chaplain corps, which provide religious and spiritual support to members of the armed forces and their families, saying he intended to target “new age” concepts.

“In an atmosphere of political correctness and secular humanism, chaplains have been minimized, viewed by many as therapists instead of ministers. Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care,” Hegseth said in a post on the social platform X.

“If you need proof, just look at the current Army Spiritual Fitness Guide. In well over 100 pages, it mentions God one time. That’s it. It mentions ‘feelings’ 11 times. It even mentions ‘playfulness,’ whatever that is, nine times. There’s zero mention of virtue. The guide relies on new age notions,” he added.

Hegseth later added that he had “a directive right here that I will sign today to eliminate the use of the Army Spiritual Fitness Guide, effective immediately.”

“These types of training materials have no place in the War Department. Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers, and we’re going to treat them as such,” he added, using the Trump Administration’s preferred name for the Department of Defense.

Hegseth, no stranger to pushing for change at thePentagon, told the military’s top officers earlier this year that he did not want to see “fat generals and admirals” or overweight troops anymore.

“Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” Hegseth said. “Likewise, it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country and the world.”

“It’s a bad look. It is bad, and it’s not who we are,” he continued.

This almost needed its own thread. This was beyond unhinged, this was firmly in paranoid dementia territory. He is rapidly losing his grip on reality. It is still amazing how afraid his side is of him, that they won't even think of facing facts and ousting him from his position. The democrats at least acknowledged that Biden was going downhill fast and replaced him, with a much worse candidate. But the republican cult draw is so strong no one will take any action against him regardless of what he does or says. It is mind-boggling in the extreme.

He mentioned giving $1776 checks to the troops which to me sounds like a bribe. To do this he's taking funds from the military housing subsidy fund. Of course he doesn't mention this part.

He also doesn't decide where the money goes. That is a decision that has to be made by congress. So at this point he is just blowing smoke.
