Kushner has been investigated for his ties with Russia in the past:
(from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_K...)
A screenshot of the Wikipedia article on Jared Kushner, section "Russia investigation". [Since I can only add 2000 characters of alt text, I will add the beginning of the section. If you want to read the rest, please go to the linked Wikipedia article on Jared Kushner!] Kushner's contacts with Russian officials came under scrutiny as part of the larger federal investigation into Russian interference in the election Before meeting with the Senate and House intelligence committees, Kushner delivered an 11-page document describing his contacts with Russian figures during the campaign and after the election. The Wall Street Journal called it "comprehensive disclosure" and said it "introduced a useful precedent to the Trump presidency". Kushner has said he had four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, and that none of those Russian contacts were improper. In June 2016, an agent of Emin Agalarov reportedly offered Donald Trump Jr., Kushner's brother-in-law, compromising information on Hillary Clinton from the Russian government if he met with a lawyer connected to the Kremlin. A meeting took place on June 9, 2016, and included Kushner, Trump Jr., and Paul Manafort, who was then chairman of the presidential campaign, who met with Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower. According to Rinat Akhmetshin, who was also present at the meeting, Veselnitskaya claimed to have evidence of "violations of Russian law by a Democratic donor", and that the "Russian lawyer described her findings at the meeting and left a document about them with Trump Jr. and the others". According to the Mueller Report, Kushner arrived at the meeting and quickly grew aggravated, texting Paul Manafort that it was a “waste of time,” and emailing two different assistants to call him so he would have an excuse to leave the meeting. Investigators did not identify any follow up from the meeting. The Democratic National Committee cyber attacks were revealed later that week.

According to @bandylee.bsky.social, forensic psychiatrist and author of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump:

www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...
What attracts people to Trump? What is their animus or driving force? The reasons are multiple and varied, but in my recent public-service book, Profile of a Nation, I have outlined two major emotional drives: narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship. “Shared psychosis”—which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that go beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.

The descriptions of middle stage dementia sound pretty spot on for Trump.

www.healthline.com/health/demen...
Personality and behavioral changes, sometimes caused by agitation and unfounded suspicions, may also happen more frequently. This might include: • changes in sleep patterns, such as sleeping during the day and feeling restless at night • screaming, yelling, or shouting • confusion, disorientation, or restlessness at sundown (sundowning) • saying inappropriate things This is typically the longest stage of dementia. On average, it lasts between 2 and 4 years. [I can only add text from the moderate to severe dementia stages, due to the 2000 character limit for alt text - sorry!] ALZHEIMER'S Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) Infographic by MemoryMoves.com to help visualize the average time scales. STAGE 1: NO DEMENTIA SEEN STAGE 2: SUBJECTIVE MEMORY LOSS STAGE 3: MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT STAGE 4: MODERATE COGNITIVE DECLINE STAGE 5: MODERATELY SEVERE COGNITIVE DECLINE STAGE 6: SEVERE COGNITIVE DECLINE The ability to perform basic activities of daily life becomes compromised. Cognitive deficits are generalized. At the end of this stage, the ability to speak begins to break down. The total duration of the stage of moderately severe AD (6a through 6e) is approximately 2.5y. STAGE 6a Persons initially in stage fia begin to respire assistance in putting on their clothing property. STAGE 6b The person loses the ability to bathe without assistance and develop deficits in other modalities of daily hygiene. STAGE 6c, 6d, 6e As the disease evolves in this stage, the person subsequently becomes incontinent. Cognitive deficits are generally magnitude that the person may confuse close family members. Emotional changes generally become most overt and disturbing. Although these emotional changes may, in part, have a neurochemical basis, they are also clearly related to the person's psychological reaction to their circumstances. Persons may begin to fidget, to pace, to move objects around, or to manifest other forms of purposeless or inappropriate activities. Because of their fear, frustration and shame regarding their circumstances, these persons frequently develop verbal outbursts and also threatening, even violent behavior. STAGE 7: VERY SEVERE COGNITIVE DECLINE At this stage, the persons require continuous assistance with basic activities of daily life for survival. Superb care provided early can postpone the onset of loss of ambulation. STAGE 7a STAGE 7b STAGE 7c STAGE 7d STAGE 7e STAGE 7f

It was actually on March 6th 2018.

(Maybe they adjust the date format when you pick the English option on DW? Idk.)

Other sources published articles 1-2 days later in March, and I found a recording of Bannon's speech from that day on YT - the video description says it was recorded on 06.03.2018 👍
A screenshot from Google search showing a YouTube video as a search result. The video's title says: "Weltwoche On the Road: Steve Bannon & Roger Köppel" Below, you can read the beginning of the video description. It says (in German): "Weltwoche on the Road mit Steve Bannon und Roger Köppel. Aufnahme vom 06.03.2018 in Zürich. Weitere Veranstaltungen finden Sie unter..."

Nah, it is him. I think it looks so off, because you rarely see him full on laughing with his mouth open - because he is a miserable person.
The nose does look different though - likely a nose job + other plastic surgery? The very first image & second attached one are from ~2010 & look more similar.

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner agrees and calls it reveling in omnipotent destructiveness. It's also that feeling of having power over someone that they get off on.

mindsitenews.org/2025/04/01/s...
Well, we have to remember that malignant narcissists are sadists. They revel in being destructive, humiliating, insulting, degrading, laughing at other people’s pain and humiliation. They’re basically terrifying the world right now. Everyone is afraid of losing their job and their 401-K going down or what’s going to happen to the world order. Or whether they or someone they love is going to be deported. And the thing is, malignant narcissists thrive on that fear. They love that fear. It gives them a rush, a dopamine rush, to be destructive. There’s a phrase for that: Omnipotent destructiveness. It’s feeling powerful in an excited way because you’re destroying things or people or institutions. So there is this glee, a sadistic, almost satanic glee they’re taking in all of the harm and uncertainty and chaos and fear they’re generating.

I've seen several people point out: the email was sent roughly three weeks before the 2018 Helsinki Summit.
A screenshot from the Wikipedia page on the 2018 Helsinki Summit. It shows a table containing key information like the summit's host country, date, city, participants etc. Relevant information related to the email in the post above: The date was: 16th July 2018 Participants were: Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov Two images from the 2018 Helsinki summit of Trump and Putin. In the first one, Trump stands right next to Putin and looks like a beaten dog. His head is slightly hanging and he is staring at the floor, while having a very defeated look on his face. Quite opposite to how he usually conducts himself in public. Putin next to him is standing upright and smiling. In the second image, you see Trump and Putin shaking hands. Trump is frowning and his eyes are closed. His looks like someone, who is forced to shake hands against their will. Putin again, is smilng.

Reminds me of this short blog post by Sam Altman (from 2013), and the Wired article describes exactly how OpenAI started out.

blog.samaltman.com/successful-p...
A screenshot from the linked blog post by Sam Altman. It says: "Successful people create companies. More successful people create countries. The most successful people create religions." I heard this from Qi Lu; I'm not sure what the source is. It got me thinking, though--the most successful founders do not set out to create companies. They are on a mission to create something closer to a religion, and at some point it turns out that forming a company is the easiest way to do so.

Exactly. Starve them of the attention and reactions they so deeply crave, and they will fuck off. 🤷🏻‍♀️
A screenshot of a newish MAGA troll profile I took roughly a week ago. In their very first skeet, they repeated the sentence "DEMOCRATS THE PARTY OF MURDER!" three times in all caps. Their second skeet later that day said: "I'm bored". (When I looked at their replies, they tried to be provocative on several people's posts, but were mostly ignored lol.) And their third and final skeet the next day was: "I must be shadow banned" Bye, bitch.

It is running upright on two legs, while swinging its arms - like a human would. Behind it are some gray lines converging at a point in the back to depict speed, as well as the words "plap" around its steps.

Another possibility that I've seen several people mention is tertiary stage syphilis. The symptoms match quite well and include tumor-like growths that can occur on bones & organs, and sometimes need to be removed surgically.
End-stage (tertiary) syphilis develops in untreated individuals years or decades after the initial infection and can lead to serious damage to internal organs, including the heart, brain, nerves, and other parts of the body. Symptoms vary depending on which organs are affected and can include large, tumor-like sores called gummas on the skin or inside the body, as well as severe health problems like blindness, stroke, dementia, heart disease, and paralysis. Symptoms of tertiary syphilis: - Gummas: These are large, tumor-like sores that can form on the skin, bones, or internal organs. - Cardiovascular syphilis: This affects the heart and blood vessels, potentially causing a weakened aorta (aneurysm) or heart valve issues. - Neurosyphilis: This affects the nervous system and can result in a wide range of neurological problems, including: Dementia and cognitive problems Loss of coordination Numbness Paralysis Blindness or vision problems Hearing loss Seizures -Other potential symptoms: Headaches Stiff neck Mental disorders

According to Jaron Lanier (one of the big minds behind virtual reality), many of Silicon Valley's wealthy already fled to New Zealand and went into hiding back when COVID broke out.

So this seems to be their plan for the next big outbreak of whatever, as well.

(source: www.gq.com/story/jaron-...)
A screenshot from the linked interview: The pandemic had only complicated his relationship with his peers, he said. Many people in Silicon Valley were fleeing, to panic bunkers and second homes and survival compounds in New Zealand. Some of them were even inviting Lanier along. “A few people have called me from time to time and said, ‘Hey, you have to get in on our New Zealand thing,’ ” Lanier confided. “I'm like, ‘No.…’ I just feel like, if we can fuck it up here, why can't we fuck up New Zealand? What's better about New Zealand than here? It's even riskier for earthquakes, so the only thing about it that's inviting is we haven't fucked it up yet. This idea that you can fuck up the world, but then there'll be some part of it that you haven't fucked up, is wrong. If you fuck up the world, you fuck up the whole world, you know?”

I don't know what the fuck is happening in this image. But I've been waiting for the right moment to use it! It's a very blurry photo taken at night with flash. In the background, you see black rods of what might be a fence with trees or bushes behind it. In the foreground on the right side, you see a transparent plastic cup with an orange straw containing a light, brownish liquid - it could be a latte or milkshake. The cup is seemingly floating in the air - maybe it was dropped or thrown. Next to it on the left, you see a frog with glowing eyes from the flash's light, again seemingly floating in the air, probably mid jump.

You are joking, but...

I genuinely believe they copy psychological manipulation tactics from famous dystopian novels. Just as they follow the playbook of how the Nazi regime took over.
Because they have zero new and individual ideas.
