I don't think Trump hears the same things we do.

Trump only hears what his bootlickers tell him and they only tell him what he wants to hear.
We hear about how people are hurting and what the consequences for his actions are but I don't think anyone ever tells him that. If they did they would be banned from his society. He mainly hears, over and over again, how successful everything he's done is and how wonderful he is as a president.
Of course he has to hear some negative things because he responds to them but I'm sure it is always framed as someone else who has done wrong and he is the only person who can fix it.
So when people talk of Trump panicking or being worried, I doubt if it's ever so. He probably genuinely thinks everything he does is wonderful for everyone because that is all he hears.
He lives in a total self glorified fantasyland and the real world is never allowed to intrude.

Miles Taylor says staff could only give 45 one piece of paper and one picture during his first term and with his current dementia who knows what his ass kissers are currently telling him.

He thinks they are feeding him AI-generated videos. Talk about slopping the hog.

Not that he'd care about it anyway. I think all he hears is waaah, waaah, waaah, anyway. He makes up a world in his head where he's always the hero and everyone is saying, " Sir, thank you, Sir, you're the best, Sir.

created out of thin air, the giant banners on buildings, the Hollywood style commercials, the free shoes, buildings torn down, closed or renamed for Gump. The wars, the prisons, the over the top actions of ICE.

Is Susie Wiles trying to distract him with shiny things much like you would a whining, crying, screaming baby? She's the mother he never had.

But distracting him from what?
The Epstein files that name the Felon more than any other person? The plummeting polls that show him how much people hate him and his policies? The worst failures in Presidential history that is his Administration?

Wouldn't it be a hoot if it turns out they've fooled him into believing he has some fatal disease just so they could dose him with something like Thorazine or a mild sedative which is why he's always falling asleep. Again, Susie Wiles with the help of Rat face Miller.

Oh well, just some thoughts of a restless mind.
