The virulent animosity that Donald Trump has for the free press and the First Amendment of the Constitution has been a hallmark of his public life and his occupation of the White House from its earliest days. He has made it clear that any attempts to report the truth about him or his activities are unwelcome and subject to punishment meted out by his neo-fascist regime.

Trump’s history of attacking the media is well documented. It includes everything from infantile insults to multibillion dollar lawsuits. Anything that he can think of to suppress the press that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He has even put up a wholly improper page on the White House website to malign the media. Although it creates an interesting opportunity for his critics.

On Tuesday night Trump dropped an excessively long and tedious comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that attempted to address his utterly deranged anti-media obsessions. Naturally, he began with some gratuitous praise of himself saying that “There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best.” Which is downright hilarious considering the frequency with which he has been caught sleeping during his recent Cabinet meetings.

Trump’s comment continued with a litany of lies about his many imaginary accomplishments (i.e. stopping eight wars, creating the “Greatest Economy in History,” rebuilding the Military, restoring international respect, etc.). Then he launched into a bizarre defense of his obviously declining cognitive acuity, saying that…

“I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all.”

First of all, if his doctors keep prescribing cognitive exams, they must be gravely concerned about something. If they aren’t just observing his growing disability, they could be tracking the side effects of some medication he is taking. Secondly, these exams are pretty simple and involve elementary tasks such as drawing a clock and identifying a camel. The fact that he thinks he “ACED” these tests, and that “most do very poorly,” says more about his own psychoses than the others who he is demeaning.

Trump’s comment then proceeded to deny that there has been any evidence of him “‘slowing up,’ [and] maybe not as sharp as I once was.” For anyone to believe that, they would have to ignore virtually every one of his recent public appearances. He is painfully incapable of staying on topic, as seen in his cult rally Tuesday night in Pennsylvania where he intended to focus on the affordability crisis that he is responsible for, but wandered off course repeatedly to disparage migrants. And he referred to his White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as Susie Trump – twice.

So Trump’s efforts to assure everyone that he is mentally sound just turned out to bolster the case that he is profoundly impaired. Undeterred, he then got to the meat of his commentary, which was to lambaste the press for accurately reporting his all too apparent physical and mental deficiencies. He raged that…

“After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.’ They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful ‘source’ of information.”

And there you have it. Trump is openly embracing a core principle of totalitarians throughout history, who believe that if the media criticizes them, they are traitors who must be terminated. It is posts such as this that are among the best evidence that Trump should be removed from office ASAP. And you have to wonder what it will take for his glassy-eyed MAGA cult devotees in his administration and in Congress to wake up and do their patriotic duty to prevent this nutcase from doing further harm to the nation and its people?

Is there any atrocity that Trump can commit that will finally go too far in their eyes? So far, bombing boats in the Caribbean with no evidence of criminal activity, and pardoning convicted drug traffickers, and suppressing evidence of his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and shutting down the government to starve poor Americans in order to deprive other Americans from getting healthcare, and on and on, have not been enough. Does he really have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue?
