But there is Trump’s need to distract the American people from his personal scandals and failures as a leader, and from the basic truth that he has absolutely nothing to offer to improve life for the majority of the people.

A "leader" who conducts international "diplomancy" via a post on his personal shoddy social media platform, that other leaders need a staff to alert them to his rantings so they are aware of his demented thoughts & messages, is not a leader.
He's a needy lunatic playacting as a serious politician.

Whether by design or not, Trump’s post follows a recognizable authoritarian sequence—deny shared truth, delegitimize institutions, frame crisis, assign blame, demand extraordinary power, attack critics as insane, rewrite the record, and imply punishment for dissent.
It reads crazy. It isn’t.

It has been clear for decades now that politicians, businesses, and the public are failing to make the obvious link between climate impacts we can be highly certain are coming and what they are likely to mean at the societal, economic, and security level.

The Trump regime is firing people for following the law and pardoning and promoting people who break the law. Exactly what you'd expect from a convicted felon bent on domination. We know where this is going.

The people who vehemently defend the DNC and say “why don’t progressives and leftists start their own party instead of whining?”
The donor class makes sure any actual progressive/leftist political movement is squashed because they’re a direct threat to their existence.
Hope that helps!

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

Murder witnesses
The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.
The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.
This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.
