A Tale of Mad King Shitshispantalot.
Trump's speech at Davos fits a pattern of increasingly bizarre public performances, writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social. The president veered from topic to topic, often failed to put coherent sentences together, and mused about his absolute powers.

If Trump says he "must have complete and total control of Greenland" but then reverses on it, then why should anyone put stock in his statements about not using military force, or not running for a third term, or not trying to overturn elections?
Why can't those demurrals also be "art of the deal"?

If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.
