But he has ALWAYS been a bullying blow hard, so I won't blame it on dementia. Dementia is showing up in other ways with him, but he has always been a bully and he has always become very weird when someone doesn't cave into his demands.

I often wonder how bad can it possibly get? I'm afraid that it is far worse than even I can imagine. I'm thinking that shooting someone on Fifth Ave. might be pretty tame in comparison to what is yet to come.

He's POTUS for the next 987 days and nothing will make him change. He's been completely unleased to be as crass and irresponsible as he can possibly be.

His thinking is, “If I gotta die, then you gotta die”

Plus, the closer we get to releasing Epstein files, the closer stubby little vulgarian finger comes to punching the nuclear button

Trump asks why US can’t use nukes: MSNBC

Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can’t use nuclear weapons, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.

“Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can’t we use them,” Scarborough said on his “Morning Joe” program.

Fri May 8, 2026, 02:23 PM

he'd be happier than he's ever been just by thinking of something and see how it gets created, appears, becomes real to him -- such as

speaking to large crowds who'd cheer him on
playing golf as much as he wanted on perfect courses on perfect days and never get winded
posting and posting and posting without sleeping in between
creating the most perfect golden ballroom in the universe where he could do his jerk off dance, or fox trot and tango without cankles and diapers holding him back
surround himself with the most beautiful men and women he could imagine
eat as much as he wants of the most delicious foods including mcdonald's and kfc and not gain an ounce, and never have to wait for it to be delivered
attend award ceremonies and accept the most prestigious awards that he always wanted, and more!
go into a huge golden room that contains more money than he could ever have in this lifetime

i think he should give it try

If a Democratic President acted like this, they’d find a way to remove him (and no, not what you’re thinking - although they’re fully capable of it). It might not be technically legal, but he/she would be gone. It could lead to a civil war, but we’re headed there anyway. Instead, we’re forced to helplessly watch the rape of our country and the destruction of everything we’ve always believed in.
