talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Bubble-Wrapped President
Trump surrounds himself with those who flatter him in places where he is comfortable.

Getting an MRI is an uncomfortable circumstance. You get squeezed into a tube and cannot move for about half an hour.
Only a complete idiot, or someone with dementia, would get an MRI and have no idea what part of his body is being damaged.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Trump 2.0 is a coalition of malevolent authoritarian ideologues and lazy, get-rich-quick scammers. Some see Russian authoritarianism as a model to be emulated, others see Russia as their ticket to easy money. As far as Putin is concerned, they’re both just useful idiots.
1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..

The arrests — often at courthouses or ICE check-ins — have led to a surge of litigation. But that could be changing: a judge in California last week granted a national class action, and judges in MA and CO have certified statewide classes. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
