Trump treats the presidency like it's a reality TV show. It's just all publicity stunts at this point. And his followers eat it up because we rely so much on algorithms to "inform" us these days.

I still think this goes back to 2019 when Trump asked Zelensky to dig up dirt on Biden so Trump could win the 2020 election and Zelensky didn't do it. Trump was just rubbing his nose it it.
Comedians have to be reasonably intelligent, and good with words and language, in order to be considered good at their jobs. Donald Trump is neither of those things.
He treats the presidency like he's playing Civ; zero-sum dealing over minerals and troop numbers. He just dragged Zelensky into the 'Denounces You' splash-screen.
True except that they are deliberately dismantling and actively undermining institutions and processes and norms that have been a big reason for the improvements we have witnessed since WW2. Though far from perfect, they will be hard to rebuild if this goes on much longer...

Aloha 🙃🇺🇸
Had to take breaks for my remaining sanity’s sake...
Beyond sad.
Beyond evil.
Beyond hopeless.
I’d rather be submerged into a literal shark tank, than be subjected to this kind of torture...
