President Donald Trump left countless onlookers aghast Sunday after publishing three dozen bizarre online posts in the span of two hours, one of which suggested the United States owned the moon.“Something is very wrong with the president,” wrote Tom Nichols, staff writer for The Atlantic, in a socia...
He was never all right. Even when he was a kid people said that he had massive ego problems. When he was in high school playing poorly in sports people found the fact that he never admitted to losing or playing poorly to be intensely irritating.
In the 1980s, Trump always made Spy magazine’s “Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things” list. His one “mitigating factor” was always “at least he’s not in politics”.
A useful idiot still needs to be able to do things for you, win over the right people, set the tone of the room, be the distraction. If the useful idiot goes off of the rails, stops being taken seriously at all, you’re left with just an idiot. They’re worried they lost the useful part
The Republicans never really had control of him. I think they fear him dying on them and them not been able to hold MAGA together without his unique brand of genuine crazy.
Maybe next time they pick a puppet president they go with someone who knows the score, and isn’t under the delusion they’re in change.
That is the gamble with useful idiots though, sometimes they can surprise you.

The GOP are like dogs feeding on scraps dropped from a picnic table. They don’t really care who actually organized the picnic, as long as they get a few bites.
This is their threshold?

Pg. 33 fyi. Tho it’s cut off and you can’t read all of it.
It’s RawStory. Effectively Newsmax for the left wing. Feel-good stories that hold essentially nothing binding them to reality. Best avoided.
I’m surprised more people didn’t see him as a joke after commenting about his building being the tallest after 9/11
