\"Donald<\/p>\n

However, Trump may have exceeded the boundaries of tolerance within which he has managed to get away with undermining American interests and subverting democracy. His noxious fawning over Putin<\/a><\/strong> during the hellacious assault on Ukraine has caused some of his most devoted disciples to back away. And in the face of that retreat, Trump is trying to overcompensate for his fear by pumping up his already gargantuan ego.<\/p>\n

In a pair of desperate but impotent tweets on Monday morning, Trump lavished himself with ludicrous accolades. That’s nothing new for the malignant narcissist of Mar-a-Lago. But the quantity and the dishonesty he is capable of is still pretty impressive in a nauseating way. In his brief tweet tantrums Trump bragged that…<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope everyone is able to remember that it was me<\/strong>, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“There would be no NATO if I didn’t act<\/strong> strongly and swiftly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“It was me<\/strong> that got Ukraine the very effective anti-tank busters (Javelins).’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIf my energy policy<\/strong> had remained in place…the world would have had no problems whatsoever.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“If the Election wasn\u2019t Rigged, America would right now continue to have record-low gas prices, as it was under my Administration<\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is so much wrong in that that it deserves some further attention.<\/p>\n

First of all, Trump is trying to take credit for saving NATO. Never mind that he has repeatedly attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete”<\/em> and sought to withdraw from it. He was serving Putin’s purpose by attempting to weaken the alliance. And he’s flagrantly lying<\/a><\/strong> about having raised hundreds of billions of dollars by getting member nations to pay their dues. There are no “dues”<\/em> to belong to NATO. Just voluntary defense budget goals. And Trump didn’t even have any impact on that.<\/p>\n

The Javelin missiles he’s referring to are the ones that he actually used to try to blackmail Ukraine into fabricating dirt about then-candidate Joe Biden. That’s why Trump was impeached the first time. And the funding for those weapons was actually allocated by Congress during the Obama administration. It was Trump who obstructed their delivery.<\/p>\n

Trump’s energy policy did not produce energy independence. That was achieved prior to his election, and it was lost in 2020, during his term. The low gas prices he touted were the result of a deadly pandemic (that was exacerbated by his incompetence) during which the demand – and therefore the price – of gas dropped. And the notion that the U.S. has oil resources could exceed Saudi Arabia and Russia combined is pure insanity. As is his ridiculous assertion that “the world would have had no problems whatsoever”<\/em> were he he still in charge. The world has not forgotten that during his term in office there were nothing but problems.<\/p>\n

However, Trump is right that the war in Ukraine should never have happened. But notice that Trump doesn’t – and hasn’t ever – criticized Vladimir Putin for having started the war. In fact, Trump blames it on the “rigged”<\/em> election, which to him is the cause of everything from the extinction of the dinosaurs to tooth decay.<\/p>\n

Trump is displaying the classic symptoms of malignant narcissist. He is psychologically incapable of acknowledging any personal faults. So he will blame whatever is going badly on someone\/anyone else, and invent things to congratulate himself for. We can expect this sort of deranged behavior to continue, and to become even more severe, as his world falls apart around him.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we can mitigate the harm that he and his cult followers are capable of creating. The next couple of years will be challenging for America and for the sane and responsible Americans.<\/p>\n
