It’s official: Today’s cabinet meeting showed Trump has fully lost it. We should never normalize what we just witnessed — the President jumped from fantasies about Iran’s navy to TSA shutdowns, a random Chicago killing that piqued his interest, attacks on the Federal Reserve, Sharpie pens, Venezuelan statues of him, King Charles’s cancer, Gavin Newsom’s learning disability, whining about NATO, and drug smugglers who do not watch TV.
Then came the quotes.
On himself: Forget making oil cheaper for Americans. When is Venezuela gonna do the statue of me?
On cognitive tests: I aced it. I got them all right… President Obama, he wasn’t a smart man. Highly overrated.
On Venezuela: After the presidency, I think I may go to Venezuela and run for president against Delcy. It’s an option!
On Iran: I’m the opposite of desperate. I don’t care. In fact, we have other targets we want to hit!
On oil: They said we’re gonna let you have eight boats of oil. Eight big boats of oil.
On voting: I used a mail in ballot because I’m President of the United States.
On the Strait of Hormuz: We don’t need it at all.
On Newsom: I don’t want a stupid person as president. I don’t want a man with a mental disability as president.
On pens: This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. Sharpie.
Any one of these lines, said once, would have dominated headlines for weeks. Now they blur together into background noise.
THAT is the danger. Not shock, but the loss of it.
The media is failing us. They fear losing access, so they don’t say the quiet part out loud — that this country and this planet is being attacked and plundered daily by a demented mad man.
We must never get used to this. Do not accept this as normal.
