Our President has lost his mind.



It would be impossible for that to happen because Trump was the President during the 2020 election.

Wray was a Trump appointee. Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco were not in the government and neither was Jack Smith as he was at The Hague.

Lord, we’re in trouble down here.

Nobody in his Cabinet is going to invoke the 25th Amendment, because if they did they'd be pilloried or worse, and in the literal sense, from the MAGA loons. Impeachment isn't an option because Masturbating Mike won't call the House into session, and we know damn sure that the Senate doesn't have the guts to convict him if it somehow ever got there.

This is like a 4-year hurricane and we just have to ride it out as best we can, and hope to reclaim one or both Houses of Congress next year.

Still, neither taped nor tapped is accurate based on the news I heard. The phone company provided calls and call times to, from and between selected numbers. Had the authorities truly tapped and taped conversations, the Jan 6 investigations would have been far more revealing and interesting.

But he has never been a President...he is mentally incapable of being presidential. He's in it only for the power and money.

I just saw a news clip saying he and the Trump family have made $1.8 billion since being elected in '24.

Steve Bannon is pushing a 2028 Trump presidency:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/us/politics/president-trump-2028-steve-bannon.html

“Trump is going to be president in ’28, and people ought to just get accommodated with that,” he said.


Notwithstanding the 22nd and 12th amendments, he says there's a "plan" but offers no specifics as to details of the plan. I suspect it's just distraction tactics from Trump's pitiful unpresidential performance.

Sun Oct 26, 2025, 01:26 PM

I looked at some 2024 election data and posted it previously. Trump gained only 3 million votes over the 2020 election. Kamala lost 6 million of the 81 million votes Biden got in 2020. My opinion is Dems, Repugs and independents all, are not ready for another non-caucasian President or female President.

And Biden's approval rating was ±40% throughout 2024, while Trump was propagandizing all great stuff he would do if elected. I'm not really sure Biden would have won if he had stayed in or if another white, male Dem candidate would have won. Too many people like Trump and too many people were unhappy with a Democratic White House and too many people vote their emotions rather than common sense.

He may have gotten more votes but I believe the vote count was rigged with the help of Musk. So yes, he could have gained votes but they may have been votes that were flipped. I do believe that decades from now and after he's dead, people who knew are going to start coming out with the truth. It took decades before everything about Nixon came out.

I'm not questioning your rationale as other people have questioned the election counts. I'm just curious as to how it could have taken place. Flipped as in the ballot counting? Or flipped as in being "persuaded" to vote Trump instead of Harris? Or something else?

Stephen Miller is the lead architect of Trump's insanity.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/15/trump-immigration-stephen-miller-influence

As the man in the Oval Office, it is Trump who has absorbed the accusations of authoritarianism for usurping the powers of California’s government after deploying 4,000 national guard troops and 700 active marines on to the streets of a city that is home to more undocumented immigrants than any other in the US.

Behind the scenes, however, this has been the apogee of Miller’s power – and an episode that illuminated his power in a White House where his influence far outstrips his misleadingly modest title of deputy chief of staff.

As the long-term architect of Trump’s years-long effort to reinvent US immigration policy, he has pressed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents to intensify efforts to arrest migrants as deportation figures fell far short of pre-election promises.

At a meeting at Ice’s Washington headquarters last month, Miller ordered them to skip the usual practice of compiling lists of suspected illegal migrants and instead target Home Depot, where day laborers gather for short-term hire, and 7-Eleven stores, to carry out mass arrests, the Wall Street Journal reported.


Miller is crazier and more radical than Trump.

...in office, and the supposed "rigging" of the 2020 election. In this case he seems to be seeking to make some connection between what Democrats did before the 2020 election and what they did afterwards because--I suppose--they were at least alive at the time. And, even though he appointed Wray he has criticized him often as he seems to see him as a "deep state" plant from his first administration.

Like so many other things, this particular post does not seem to be a good example of him having "lost his mind."

We may be better served by pointing out things like the fact that the FBI director that initiated Operation Arctic Frost was appointed by him and shows that the alarm was bipartisan. Just my opinion....
