This is utterly deranged, and totally unexceptionable. And that dichotomy is the essence of where we are now.

Fifty years from now, it will be difficult to convey to young people, in whatever form this country or its successor exists at that point, that the president of the United States was a frank sociopath.

Malignant narcissism enhanced by creeping dementia. A few years ago he would have thought this, but would have been able to control himself from saying it out loud.

"MAGA launched a mass movement to get people fired from their jobs for being insufficiently mournful about Charlie Kirk's murder."

My comment: this was worse than I thought possible for him to be. I think that is indeed a sign of dementia. If that attack on Reiner was written by a lickspittle to "represent what Trump feels", then we are at the Mad King stage, with toadies encouraging the sociopathy - which may be even worse.

Does anyone think they are experimenting with different drugs for him? I'm thinking of his meeting with Mamdani, when he managed to be - "normal", more or less. It's standing out more and more, given his state since.
