Donald Trump is a legend in his own mind.
And with those who don't have minds of their own.

The truth needs better propaganda.
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Actually, the misspellings, ignorance of illegality, hypocrisy and general cluelessness prove that it's genuine Trump Administration.
Putin and Xi won't believe this is real. They'll assume it's sophisticated disinformation to make it seem U.S. foreign policy is being run by high schoolers--or junior high schoolers--to make adversaries overconfident, while real policy is made elsewhere.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

Are we ready for the fall-out of a shutdown? Have we considered all the major ramifications of this action so early on in the war? Are we prepared to take it to them in a multi-front organized fashion? I'm thinking Churchill and Coventry; sometimes short term pain ensures long-term success.

If there's a shut down that drags on and SS, Medicare, Medicaid, shut down, contracts remain unfulfilled, what happens to the economy then? How easy will it be to mobilize starving disenfranchised penniless people?...
