1. JFC

A literal psychotic president

13. That's right. The "everyone is telling me to" are the voices in his tiny head....

[orangecrush]

19. Nailed it

[malaise]

2. I here's why - the marriage of ego and ignorance

3. Nothing surprising, just confirms what we already knew

He lives in an information bubble and whoever gets his attention will get their way.

By the end of his term, he might rely on AI assistants who flatter him in order to make decisions.

5. We are at a point in our nation's history, where the general public is likely better informed than the President of the

United States.

[Martin Eden]

9. If the general public was better informed, Trump would not be president

But I get your point -- people who pay attention and are not caught up in the Fox News & rightwing podcast bubble are indeed better informed that the ignoramus staining the White House.

10. Better informed than him though is proabbly a reall, really, really

reall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall, really, reallyreall,

11. The bar for Donny Two-Dolls

Is practically touching the ground.

15. Bar ?..None!

18. Beale was a humanist

This guy is a narcissist

[JI7]

6. He knew he was viewed as a loser and weak to the world

He was probably being mostly ignored at the g7. Netanyahu ignored him on attacking Iran.

He wanted to do something to show he was powerful and in control.

[stillcool]

7. Noise. Way to fill up a page

saying absolutely nothing.

[Johonny]

8. Hence Tulsi trying to make Fox news episodes

To show Trump so he will watch our security briefings.

Trump isn't just as dumb as you imagine, he is dumber than you can imagine.

[dalton99a]

12. Trump bombed Iran because it made him look good on TV.

[usonian]

16. "Fearless Leader" tailgating Netanyahu.

Not influenced at all by media.

[gfarber]

17. Damn The Intel

Trump ordered a strike without proof,
No new intel to bolster the truth.
Though Gabbard had said,
“No nukes lie ahead,”
He acted, still uncouth and aloof.

Trump launched an Iran-based attack,
Though intel was clearly off track.
“No nukes,” Tulsi swore—
But he needed a war,
So he pulled the fake threat from his sack.

[orangecrush]

20. I fear this is a direct result of TACO

Triggered a psychotic episode.
