Fortunately, Billionaire’s disease is a treatable condition. The treatment is taxation. Ask your congress if taxing the billionaires is right for you.

Wow, this extract from Wolff's book is a shocking insight into Trump's mind:

On his first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have "the gorilla channel.” Trump seemed to be under the
impression that a TV channel existed that screened nothing but
gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day.
To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy with the channel they had created, moaning that it was "boring"
because "the gorillas aren't fighting".
Staff edited out all the parts of the documentaries where gorillas weren't hitting each other, and at last the president was satisfied. "On some days he'll watch the gorilla channel for 17 hours straight," an insider told me. "He kneels in front of the TV, with his face about four inches from the screen, and says encouraging things to the gorillas, like 'the way you hit that other gorilla was good'. I think he thinks the gorillas can hear him."

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

Thousands of hard working, dedicated American civil servants are having their lives upended by an evil heartless despot and supposed Christian.

He's scared. He's scared of Americans protesting him peacefully. And he's trying as hard as he can to make it UNpeaceful.

“Trump’s political appointees are so desperate for his approval, they’re willing to blatantly violate the law for a pat on the head,” said the Center's Stephanie Kurose. “Trump has turned government websites into campaign billboards. This isn’t public service, it’s Trump fan fiction.”

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Well, he *IS* in charge of it, with his dementia and his mental illness. Since his people won't declare him unfit, what are we supposed to do? Hope #PresidentMiller somehow turns out to be the level head in the room?

You should not control a nuclear arsenal if you cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality. The story needs to be told through the lens of mental illness

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 11h

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.
