Trump doesn’t have a goal. He has an ego. There is no plan. No scheme, evil or otherwise. Just reaction to whatever slings and arrows bounce off his impossible inflated and sensitive self-image.
His ego would suffer nothing less than being president and can suffer nothing of what comes with it.

Simple test for whether or not a pizza is ultra-processed:

I know, I know, making policy is harder than it looks, but surely “stop issuing government comms via a Neo-Nazi child porn site” is among the lower hanging fruit?

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

A portrayal that is “false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious” pretty much ticks off his character traits and presidential style so that’s an interesting basis for litigation.

An Armistice Day thought: Wilfred Owen’s ‘Strange Meeting’ gives us the only truly Shakespearean poetry outside of Shakespeare. And these lines proved all too true, didn’t they:

Trump dedicated his life to the falsehood that he had actually won in 2020 - and got to be president again.
The BBC made a single clumsy edit in a current affairs programme - and the Director General and head of news have to resign.
Disparity. Grotesque disparity.

For my whole life the right-wing press has wielded far, far too much power in the UK. But this is especially dangerous now that they, and the right in general, are more or less completely given over to conspiracy theory.

Hang on to your hats, people. Retain your objectivity. Trump is a convicted felon who, at the absolute least, failed to discourage a mob of his supporters from staging an insurrection on Jan 6. One clumsy exit in a current affairs show on these events is not propaganda.

There’s such a sense of exhausted accomplishment at the end of the C-sharp minor fugue from Book 1 of the Well-tempered Clavier. You can almost feel the music slumping down breathless and saying: there, I did it. Bach takes the Picardy 3rd from Baroque convention to full expressive tool.
