A Psycho In Charge

Published by digby on February 21, 2025

He is completely off his rocker. I beg you to take the time to listen to the following clips and hear his slurred, fuzzy voice as he says these odious, ignorant things. If he was a drinker, I’d assume he was drunk. He is clearly becoming more and more unhinged.

Even Brian Kilmeade tries to steer him away from the demented notion that Ukraine started the war but he just carries on:

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities. They’re demolished. Had the most beautiful domes.

KILMEADE: But that’s Russia’s fault though, Mr President

T: 1,000 year old domes. And everything is demolished. It’s sorta like Gaza

K: That’s Putin’s fault

T: I get tired of listening to it

Trump on Zelenskyy: “I’ve been watching him negotiate with no cards. He has no cards. And you get sick of it. You just get sick of it. And I’ve had it.”

In other words, he hasn’t completely capitulated to Trump’s insane demands to suck Putin’s … er, toes and give him all of Ukraine’s natural resources. He’s “sick of it.”

Trump: “Russia was attacked. Russia attacked. But there was no reason for them to attack. You could’ve talked him out … Every time I say, ‘Oh, it’s not Russia’s fault,’ I always get slammed by the fake news. But I’m telling you. Biden said the wrong things. Zelenskyy said the wrong things.”

What he’s saying is that Ukraine should have surrendered their country immediately and Biden should have said what Trump said when Putin invaded:

“I said, ‘this is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine.. Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh that’s wonderful. Putin is now saying it’s independent, a large section of Ukraine. I said ‘how smart is that?’ And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep peace, all right.”

In other words Biden should have applauded Putin’s invasion (excuse me peacekeeping mission )and invited him to do more of it. And Ukraine should have said “thank you sir may I have another.”

I believe that is how he really thinks about it. Just look at his “proposal” for Gaza — it’s coming from the same place. Might makes right, period.

I’m not sure what or who in the United States is going to stop him this time. His defense secretary certainly seems to believe that PUtin had a right to do what he did:

“It feels like Putin’s give me my shit back war…We used to have the Soviet Union, and Ukraine was part of it, and I want my shit back.”

I suspect any pushback to this insanity will have to come from other countries and that’s very dangerous. Whether it’s a nuclear arms race or perceived permission slip to China or others who have territorial ambitions, this could so easily go sideways.
