The guy who brags about acing cognitive tests -- (which he's taken more than once in a year -- most cognitively healthy seniors get this test just once a year during their annual physical) -- posted this.
We have a mentally unbalanced lunatic leading the country, and the Republican Party is wholly responsible for this disaster.
From AI:
Reputation Trends: While Trump claims the US is highly respected, international polls often show the US is viewed as a threat to international stability, and his "America First" agenda is perceived as reducing US soft power."
Key polls show his disapproval rating reaching roughly 62%, and some aggregators show his net approval at approximately -18.4%
Except for some politically far right and authoritarian countries, Trump is disliked internationally, and he and his policies are unpopular here in the US.
I thought this was an excellent description of Trump:

Curious to know who AI thought was doing Cocaine off the Resolute Desk. Thought that was Trump's area of expertise, not that he ever admitted to doing that specific drug. I'm sure it's in reference to the bag of cocaine found in the coat room after a tour had been through. Right, because Biden was such a coke fiend back in the day (heaviest of snarks).
It baffles me - how is it that the majority of humans see Trump for the danger that he is but our current Democratic leadership is acting as if everything can be just undone once they retake power, as if the same Corporate overlords don't already own them too.
The game has changed - the MAGA regime threw the rule book out when they implemented Project 2025. Anyone who doesn't know that is a political dinosaur who needs to get out of the way or risk being run over by the kids who are all geared up to Fix Something for the Good of The Nation.
At least that's how I see it in the most simplistic terms.
He learned well from history. Especially from reading his heroes (Hitler) book.
Remember when conservatives and the MAGA crowd wanted America to respected around the world?
I guess they were lying.
As an elderly reader, my den has around 2000 books. These days i remembered a patricular one -
"It Can't Happen Here is a 1935 satirical novel by Sinclair Lewis that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism in the United States, written in response to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and American populism. The story follows newspaper editor Doremus Jessup as he watches a charismatic demagogue, Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, win the presidency by promising to restore America to greatness and then systematically dismantle democracy, establishing a totalitarian state with a paramilitary force. The novel explores how easily democratic norms can erode through political polarization, "us vs. them" rhetoric, and the normalization of attacks on the press, making it a prescient and still-relevant warning about the fragility of democracy." Surely Trump never read it ---
unless it was in comic form?
As always Shaw, a thought experiment should accompany everything Trump does... it goes something like this.
What if Joe Biden had done this, then how would people have reacted?
What if Joe Biden had botched a military operation and cost US service men their lives. Would conservatives have been up in arms? Of course. In fact, they were. Now? Why the silence?
What if gas prices had risen to record high levels under Biden, would conservatives have been hammering him and angry? Of course. Again, in fact they were. Now we hear from those same ppl that oil is a commodity and the President does not have control over prices. Why the change?
I could on and on, but I'm sure you all get the point.
"Madman" is too mild and allows for mental illness.
Trump isn't schizophrenic.
He is to the core an anti-American evil tyrant.
Dave, You seem to be confused about a couple of things.
"What if Joe Biden had botched a military operation and cost US service men their lives" 13 in the hasty Afghanistan pullout and countless in the aftermath.
"What if gas prices had risen to record high levels under Biden,"
2022 $4.52 in 2022 dollars, in 2026 dollars that would be $5.10
(Based on inflation data through early 2026, $4.52 in 2022 is worth approximately $5.10 today.)
If you will reflect on the time biden was sitting in the chair you may remember inflation being very high. Inflation today is high but the cumulative rise in prices in the last six years has resulted in very high prices overall. Prices always come down much slower than they rise.
I don't mean to disagree with you because that never turns out well but I just wanted to inform you of some facts you may have overlooked.
The democratic party has to accept ownership of two things. Jim Crowe law and trump winning. I realize you will deny this but it is the truth, Jim Crowe was passed by democrats and running -H- and Kamala caused trump to win for which we are all paying the price. Hopefully they can do better in 2028.
Ayup.
Unfortunately for them the VAST majority of the world understand respect differently than they do. With the possible exception of the butcher Netanyahu Zionist Israel.
No skud, it is you that is confused about MOST things.
But, you're not the lone ranger. Many, confused individual, million actually, are confused in the same way.
But not to worry. The confusion goes back many years. Many many generations actually. Hell, I was just as confused 22 years ago.
So skud, fear not. There is still hope for you. Hope that one day you see reality as it actually is. Not how you wish it were or believe it is. But how it ACTUALLY is.
Good luck skud. I'm pulling for you cause I know you really mean well.
No Skud... as usual, you are confused. My entire statement reads... "What if Joe Biden had botched a military operation and cost US service men their lives. Would conservatives have been up in arms? Of course. In fact, they were. Now? Why the silence?
You see, I asked a rhetorical question, to which everyone knew the answer, then I even provided the answer for those who can read. I 100% admitted Biden screwed that up. I know it's hard for you to understand when ppl like me, or Shaw admit our preferred candidates make mistakes, but we do. Because we are honest.
Not like the conservative MAGA clowns who were aghast at Biden for his Afghanistan SNAFU, but silent, as you are, about Trump's Iran SNAFU.
You're not disagreeing with me Skud, you're once again showing off your inability to hold difficult things to process in your head and think logically.
If you can, maybe go back and try reading my comment again.
Then answer my question as to why people like you and the sailors on the Mothership were rightly angry at Biden for what happened in the Afghanistan pullout and when gasoline prices rose after the pandemic, but do not exhibit the same anger, disgust, snark and more today. As we see the same things happening with the Trump Admin.
The Liberal Left needs to return to their roots. Cuz let's face it, The Democratic Party is on a road to nowhere. Even Trump appears a more reasonable alternative.
It seems as well skud that you've forgotten the effect Covid had on the health of the nation, both physically and economically. I just damn glad the presidency changed hands in 2021. For if it had not the years 2021 to 2025 would have very likely been MUCH worse if present conditions are any clue. And they most certainly are.
The liberal left IS returning to their roots by opposing the fascist oligarchic kleptocracy under racist Trumpism. The liberal left IS returning to their roots by defending democracy and the voting and representational rights of Black Americans being decimated by the corrupt Supreme Court and racist Republicans.
What kind of person thinks Trump is a more "reasonable" alternative?
Greedy power hungry oligarchs, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, homophobes, and bigots of every stripe. This is conservatism. Always has been.
Dave, I did go back and read your post and "What if Joe Biden had done this, then how would people have reacted?" You claimed that as a question not a rhetorical statement. This is shown by your using a ? which is a question.
As to the disgust I have shown for both biden and trump is documented in their stupidity regarding military matters. Neither should be in a position of leadership but the stupidity of the voters and the DNC have given us these two incompetent WH residents.
I am not a republican or a democrat because neither are fiscally conservative. All they do is increase their personal wealth and you and other yellow dogs just blame others.
^^Still offering PMC diversity therapy as a solution^^
Until you start concerning yourself with the plight of the working class, and not just the brown segments of it, you'll continue to weaken and divide it. The billionaires LOVE you, though! Surplus salaries FOREVER!
Here Skud... I fixed it for you!
Attention Everyone! What you see below is snark wrapped in a couple of rhetorical examples of everyday GOP and MAGA BS.
As always Shaw, a thought experiment should accompany everything Trump does... it goes something like this.
What if Joe Biden had done this, then how would people have reacted?**
What if Joe Biden had botched a military operation and cost US service men their lives.**
For those of you who are confused, my posing the obvious as a question was meant to confuse and rile the MAGA supporting clowns and conservatives here!
Would conservatives have been up in arms? Of course. In fact, they were. Now? Why the silence?
What if gas prices had risen to record high levels under Biden, would conservatives have been hammering him and angry? Of course. Again, in fact they were. Now we hear from those same ppl that oil is a commodity and the President does not have control over prices. Why the change?
I could on and on, but I'm sure you all get the point.
**News Alert... Yes! Biden screwed up. Both of my examples happened on his watch. I've admitted that on numerous occasions. Presidents do that, bad stuff happens. Smart ppl are aware the presidency is not perfect. But the MAGA folks constantly mock, deride and criticize Democratic Presidents when this happens, and pretend it never happens when a GOP President, like Trump, is in office.
Need evidence? All of you, ask yourselves this... using Skud as our spirit guide, has he ever openly mocked, with an insulting nickname for Trump, the president for the run up in oil prices during the Iran War? How about for our dead soldiers and bombed bases across the Middle East?
I'll wait.
Even trump appears a more reasonable alternative.
LMAO Joe con. You've just wom the most comedic retort of the day.
A simple case of... Blind loyalty. Their guy GOOD other guy BAD. Red great, Blue crap.
Their intellectual dishonesty and mental gymnastics are certainly going to be enshrined in history books. Future warnings for future generations.
Right, Joe,
You and Trump are so concerned for the working class you keep wanting to give billionaires more tax cuts, incentives, and political power, while deregulating banks and polluters.
Yes, that's quite a "reasonable alternative", isn't it?
