Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.
He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Can the CDC survive under the ledership of the "flock of quacks" Donald Trump has put in charge of it? Dr. Debra Houry, former CDC official and new senior medical adviser to the California Dept. of Health, is losing hope: "I don't know if the CDC will survive this year if it continues like this."

Former FBI official Chris O'Leary explains that part of why it will be difficult for the FBI to recover from the damage of the Trump era is that the experienced agents are leaving and "what's going to be left is loyalists to this administration." Replacing the seasoned professionals will be tough.

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."
The Hoax of Christmas Present
Polling and focus group data show voters across parties feel crushed by rising costs, even as Trump dismisses affordability concerns as a “hoax” that contradicts Americans’ lived reality.

Trump is backpedaling on his support for the release of the Sept. 2 boat strike video.
On December 3, he said he would have "no problem" releasing the video.
Today, he said he "didn't say that" (he did) and now says, "whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me."

The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?

So now MTG is worried that Trump's hateful rhetoric can incite violence. I'm sorry she and her son have been threatened. But Trump has been doing this to others for years, and it apparently never bothered MTG. It's very MAGA to only care about stochastic terrorism when you're the target.
