I would not say he is NUTS. He is merely a sleep deprived narcissist with delusions of grandeur that lives in his own reality and communicates by incoherent Tweets or propagandistic speeches written by equally deluded manipulators.


Of course the World is laughing, especially the Russians after the most successful intelligence coup in history, because they are watching without the aid of the Trumpsters secret codebook.

Was Trump sleeping, too???? We sure had more respect on the world stage, than we do now. We need someone with diplomatic skills that can take advice and has more intelligence than what we have been granted. Maybe, we are in an episode of the Twilight Zone..................remember that one???

But in a few short months, Donald Trump has destroyed all that. Democracies all over the world are saying it's time for a new leader. They are turning to Angela Merkel of Germany and Emmanuel Macron of France to fill the void since Trump abdicated the throne.

MAGA has come to mean My Aberration Games America


Don't forget China...they'll be eating our lunch economically very soon thanks to this man and the lemmings who voted for him. I'm sure ceding economic might to the Chinese will help bring back jobs in the Rust Belt...maybe if we decline far enough China will outsource cheap non skilled labor back to us...so win???

The Andy Griffith Show painted such a perfect picture of that era though.

I think one of the big problems with the conservative mindset is that want to return our country to a time that never actually existed. Few people who lived back then remain alive today and most people's perception of the "golden age" is through reruns of popular TV shows of the era, which of course painted it as a picture perfect utopia.

All his supporters have left is MAGA and "But Obama!" and "But Hilary!" His behavior is certainly not their fault, but still, they can't accept the fact that Donny is cray cray.

The United States was able to take advantage of a once in a lifetime situation in which every major industrial competitor had been hit with a catastrophe all at once. Anyone that thinks the post WWII era US economy was the result of some kind of inherent American greatness is delusional.
