I feel like crazy, because signs of his dementia have been clearly obvious for several years now. Why is anyone surprised by this nonsensical letter?
He is not "running" the country, his cronies are. They let him pop off with stupid shit like this because his handlers have learned that if they don't let him do shit like this while their machinations are carried out in the background, he turns on them and they get kicked out of his cult. So they loot and pillage the country while their cult leader goes off on his tangents and pursues his weird/ridiculous/frightening vendettas. M
No, he is running the US, and he does whatever his cronies tell him, mixed with this dimentia riddled shit.
Writing to Norway the he wants Greenland is probably the point where he should be medically removed from office.
I meant running in the sense he's actually governing, which he isn't. He's a dictator that's terrorizing his own citizens while everything in the country is crumbling. What little governing IS actually occurring, is being done by his cronies that are implementing their own agendas, e.g. that idiotic tax break bill they created last year.
Well, yeah. Which is one of the reasons people railing against Harris were so fucking stupid. Of course it's insane chaos. We already knew this. We've already done this. How anyone could sit on their high horse and think "well I guess we have to go through insane chaos to teach the Democrats a lesson" is beyond me. Unless they're not actual US voters. Which, imo, many of them are not.
