It seems like this needs to be said nearly every day, but…Donald Trump is getting worse! The obvious mental decline that he is suffering continues to manifest itself in his daily duties. And that doesn’t mean tweeting, golfing, and watching Fox News. Trump is descending into a state of severe confusion and manic desperation.<\/p>\n

\"Hope
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

On the heels of the Republican Senate’s reckless and partisan “absolution”<\/em> of Trump’s many impeachable crimes, he has, as expected, become emboldened to breach every standard of law and ethics that a president ought to be bound by. In particular, he has embarked on a campaign of retribution and vengeance<\/a><\/strong> aimed at those he perceives to be enemies. And, as he recently said himself, “I View Everybody as a Threat<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/em> That distinct symptom of paranoia is clearly what has triggered his latest tweetstorm.<\/p>\n

Thursday morning saw Trump lashing out in many directions at once. He tweeted a complaint<\/a><\/strong> about the conviction of his longtime accomplice in crime, Roger Stone, as “not looking good for the \u201cJustice\u201d Department.”<\/em> To be clear, that’s the Justice Department that has been under his control for three years now. He also insulted Mike Bloomberg<\/a><\/strong> again for being short, like millions of other Americans<\/a><\/strong> who vote. He went after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo with an apparently illegal demand<\/a><\/strong> that the state drop lawsuits against him in order to prevent retaliatory actions by the federal government. And in addition to those psychotic outbursts, Trump went after his former Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly:<\/p>\n

\n

….which he actually has a military and legal obligation to do. His incredible wife, Karen, who I have a lot of respect for, once pulled me aside & said strongly that \u201cJohn respects you greatly. When we are no longer here, he will only speak well of you.\u201d Wrong!<\/p>\n
