"The Comey indictment sends a message. No matter how implausible the case, no matter how many times a case fails, the Trump regime will continue to use the United States government to pursue the people Donald has decided are his enemies.

Comey is just one of those people."

"Trump is a failed dictator — but he is still president, and he’s propped up by stooges like Blanche who are ready and willing to make good on his most rage-fueled and irrational desires. The next two years, therefore, may be among the most trying of the slow-motion disaster that has been the Trump Era."

"Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people ever more strongly and destructively, we can expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end."

"the two share a late-regime obsession with rewriting history and building monuments to justify their utterly failed rule.

Hence the increasingly frantic effort of a crew of cronies, now being led by Blanche, to validate Trump’s victimhood thesis."

"So it must be all the more frustrating for him to witness the now-undeniable fact that his show has jumped the shark. ...

While America, and the world, is lucky that Trump — a far, far lazier man than the quite lazy Hitler — seems to be running out of steam well before he can hope to work horrors anything close to those achieved by the Nazi dictator," (continued in /12)

"Trump is clearly losing his mind — his cognitive abilities have been deteriorating in front of cameras with ever greater rapidity at least since the last presidential campaign. But the media personality in the White House retains his instinctual understanding of what plays, and what bombs, on TV."

"Indeed, Morris noted that Trump’s approval rating on the economy is so low it ‘literally broke the scale of this graph on my data portal.’ …

In the face of Trump’s growing unpopularity, the Republicans are changing not their unpopular policies but the rules of elections, clearly hoping to game the system to win elections no matter how unpopular they have become."

“Today G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers noted that Trump has hit a new low in overall job performance and in his handling of the economy, at -22.2 and -40.3, respectively. Those numbers reflect the percentage of people who approve of his handling of an issue minus those who disapprove."

"According to aides and confidants, his focus in a potential second term has shifted away from short-term political concerns toward building a lasting legacy, even as allies worry about political fallout from policies like the Iran conflict and rising costs."

Sure you are, Donald — greatest man who ever lived, reincarnation of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed wrapped into one. And the white jacket they're strapping on now is a new nightgown.

"Behind the scenes, Trump has started claiming he is 'the most powerful person to ever live.' A new Atlantic report suggests that Donald Trump has increasingly framed himself as a historic, world-changing figure, reportedly comparing himself in private to leaders like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte."

Josh Marshall responds:

"[NS] expresses rightful frustration with the way that elite media continues to focus on Trump’s recent antics as an extended tantrum or flawed strategy when it is much more appropriately seen as a mental and cognitive state which is manifestly unfit for holding public office. Trump is also not morally fit for office."

So the question I'd ask is, Why do the media want to give Trump cover and lie about who he is? Why?

#Trump #MentalDecline #incoherence

Reader NS tells Josh Marshall that the media are spectacularly failing to cover Trump as he actually is and as we all can see that he is: mentally unfit, incoherent, unraveling. The media want to pretend all this is Trump being "strategic."

"Every public event since June 27 has demonstrated the same point – that Trump’s habitual incoherence is getting worse, and the worse it gets, the more he alienates voters he must have to break through the ceiling of 43.5 percent of the electorate. …

As Kristen Holmes, Kate Sullivan, and Daniel Strauss, note, Trump has recently said that Biden could plunge the world into WWII — it ended in 1945 — and has stated that he (Trump) is leading Obama in polls. He has said that Viktor Orbán is prime minister of Turkey, and recently confused Jeb and George W. Bush.

But Biden's the one whose age and mental acuity we need to be concered about?!
