NEW: Donald Trump to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War”
“Restoring the name Dept of War will sharpen the focus of the Dept on our national interest and signal to adversaries America’s readiness to wage war to defend its interests.”

Everything they do is adversarial to democracy and decency and is brutal on purpose, because it's not really about any actual policy. Some of them want to be able to punish people; others are more focused on controlling institutions. In each case, every action is an attempt to keep and expand power.

Not even seven months - six. After 186 days, one of America's leading universities and two of its most prestigious news outlets have already capitulated. And Trump's henchmen are just starting to wield the full powers of the federal government.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic:

Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

Donald Trump admitted yesterday that he called Rupert Murdoch and demanded the Wall Street Journal kill its story about Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. When Murdoch couldn't deliver, Trump promised to sue the media company and gleefully looked forward to putting Murdoch on the witness stand. Update: Just as this story was going live, it was reported that he had, in fact, sued…

The California National Guard and Trump's ICE regime forces attacked unarmed US citizens, protestors and media, with tear gas, smoke grenades, and pellet rounds. They pushed them into the street and declared a 'unlawful assembly', a violation of people's first amendment. #StopICE (📹@JamesQueallyLAT)

The scary thing in US politics right now is that there's a contingent of people who have given themselves permission to indulge in their inner emotional desire for cathartic violence against groups they dislike. They cannot be dissuaded from this because the permission structure is a closed loop

That’s not the only personality disorder he has.
The world needs to be made to know that Trump has a personality disorder that makes him unreliable as president. Trump is in the grip of narcissism. That explains his bizarre choices. He is aggressively vindictive.
