    her words are better than anything I could write and are on target

    Trump's latest 'meltdown' has hints of 'last day of Waco' decline: analyst

    As Marcotte wrote, "We're getting a compelling illustration on the national stage of how a cult leader can induce his followers to stick by him, even as he loses his mind and his behavior becomes too erratic and dangerous to defend. Almost every Republican on Capitol Hill knows that Donald Trump's tariff plan is political suicide, but few are willing to admit that Dear Leader fully intends to see this idiocy to the very end."

    "Trump has a messiah complex, which has only grown since that missed assassin's bullet from July was hyped by his followers into 'proof' that he's the Chosen One," she wrote before suggesting, "Even as he blinks momentarily on his tariff mania, his behavior is getting even more erratic in a way that's got 'last days of Waco' vibes from a president who has already unsubtly compared himself to David Koresh. His Truth Social meltdown when announcing the 'pause' indicates a decline in Trump's already-fragile mental state."

    With Trump writing, "They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir,'” Marcotte called it "...a moment quite reminiscent of how late-stage cult leaders experience a total collapse between reality and their grandiose fantasies," before pointing to Trump also boasting, "Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!"

    "It all feels like the final stage of a cult, when the leader's frantic efforts to retain control result in escalating dictates and prophecies that become increasingly hard for followers to make sense of," she wrote before adding, "Republicans would be foolish to treat this 90-day pause as a victory big enough to justify scurrying back to their holes, to hide from the wrath of Dear Leader. He is spiraling and sees these tariffs as the final proving ground of his total conquest of the GOP. He will keep going back to that well — which means economic tumult, more stock market crashes, and more panicked constituents — unless this tariff nonsense is put to bed entirely."

    He’s turned the US into a suicide bomber and celebrating that other countries want to talk some sense into him.

    Nothing has happened yet except showing the world (including his supporters) that his “leverage” is extremely costly and will harm the US as much or more than anyone else. And they cheer.

    I condemn the negativity in this thread. Glorious Rape Father was simply amazing on The Apprentice and clearly that, along with bankrupting casinos and innumerable businesses, fully enables Him to restructure the entire global economic world order.

    Cease your blaspheming!

    I laugh everytime I see this. It would be completely unhinged, if it weren’t true.

    i think this whole I can't be wrong, I'm the biggest victim, out to settle a score mentality is what binds him and musk. if the can't get their way, they just try and bully their way through by whatever means it takes

    the new filing by Altman about how musk tried to destroy Open Ai because it succeeded without him and that couldn't happen in musk reality

    Musk Rages at Billionaire Tech Rival After Bombshell Lawsuit Filed

    “Musk has tried every tool available to harm OpenAI,” the company said in Wednesday’s court filing, “through press attacks, malicious campaigns broadcast to Musk’s more than 200 million followers on the social media platform he controls, a pretextual demand for corporate records, harassing legal claims, and a sham bid for OpenAI’s assets.”

    “Musk could not tolerate seeing such success for an enterprise he had abandoned and declared doomed,” OpenAI said in Wednesday’s court filing.
    .......................................................
    “Musk’s continued attacks on OpenAI, culminating most recently in the fake takeover bid designed to disrupt OpenAI’s future, must cease,” the filing said. “Musk should be enjoined from further unlawful and unfair action, and held responsible for the damage he has already caused.”

    striking a nerve there? Your lifesize fathead cutout of Trump hanging on your wall will be just fine. No one will take it from you.

    I know at least one cult member personally. My sister. "I love my President." It's unconditional. We've agreed not to talk about it in order to stay family.

    Only two, Christmas and Trumpenalia. She also does a nice Easter service - I hear this year's painting is a capital T cross, but there is some concern as the accounting firms are buying up all the red ink.
