6. I have talked a lot before about how Trump has dementia and how growing public awareness of his disease could make him vulnerable to the allegation that he’s not really in charge – that malicious and unaccountable forces are pulling his strings.

For independent voters, it’s not Project 2025. It's Puppet 2025

Make them see the old man isn’t in charge anymore.

What is extraordinary is that Trump's powers of critical reasoning have been so supressed from a lifetime of lying and gaslighting that he has no possible way of discerning reality from the buckets of pig-shit his coterie of arseholes, like Stephen Miller, are feeding him.

It is all imploding.

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

I can't tell if half of LinkedIn is on cocaine, or if it's just people who grew up being told they were special every five minutes.

This is priceless. Trump accidentally publicly posted a DM.

This is SO on brand.

Remember this post? The Wall Street Journal just confirmed it was meant to be a DM to Pam Bondi.

I find it extraordinary that last week he actually wondered out loud if his people were gaslighting him.

Because this is all Miller and Vaught. Trump doesn't personally care that much.
