It doesn't make the headlines because the people who own the headlines don't want to legitimise "The President is nuts" as a narrative.
The worst thing about this presidency isn't Trump. It's the way media owners are collaborating to normalise the horror of it all.

It's classic oppositional left - perpetually protesting and being against something or other, salami-slicing factional purity, and being hopeless at organising collaborative action.
Solidarity isn't just a word. It's supposed to mean something practical.

It's not even his idea. It's been knocking around in fiction since at least the 2000s.

The point is to tank Labour support and give Farage the keys to Number 10.
When that's more or less guaranteed, Starmer will resign and call a snap election.
Pundits like you will be terribly, terribly surprised by this.

If he wanted to fix the problem he would bring the BBC to heel, and stop legitimising Farage talking points.
He's on board with the project. He was trojan-horsed into the remains of Labour to do exactly this, and he showed his colours almost from Day 0.
There's no point expecting better.

Techbro capitalism has turned into an approximation of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
Diseased of mind, utterly immoral, barely coherent and entirely consumed by malice.

The West is being run with Soviet levels of media gaslighting and narrative engineering.
To an extent it always has been, but being able to track media narratives as they're created and promoted makes it more obvious than it used to be.

You don't attract the Trump voters.
You make them so disgusted and disappointed with their own side they stay at home.
Right now, that is very, very easy in the US.

It's not just $15tn, it's the political, economic, and ecological costs and distortions that go with that... the power games, the sociopathy, the violence, lies, and the reek of corruption.

Some do. Most don't care.
There are very few authors and artists making a "good living" in general.
All of the people I know who are doing it with AI were already doing it successfully without AI.
AI has made it easier and faster, but it is very much *not* about single-shotting a novel.

I know authors who are making a good living from AI-generated books, although mostly - not always - with some hand-editing.
I know artists who are making a good living selling AI art.
It's not top-quality work. But it isn't trying to be, and doesn't need to be.

The people who brought everyone Brexit own the media and most of the politicians. They're being promoted because they want everyone in the country cowering in terror of a fascist government wile corporate interests steal everything that isn't nailed down.

You mean it never conquered the commanding heights of the UK's non-dom billionaire-owned fascist media, which includes faux-pogressive outlets like the Guardian.
Shall we try to guess why they didn't want to pay more tax and give the little people more money?
It's a mystery, isn't it?

The current "madness" reflects the attitudes of the billionaires and aristocrats who are funding and promoting the far right.
They want no taxes, and both economic and racial hierarchy.
It's only "madness" if you ignore that these people have always been like this, throughout British history.

A key trick of right-wing grift is framing issues as "protect your kids from people not like you."
It's not about facts. It's about framing scientists as condescending, corrupt, and dangerous, and anti-vaxxers as brave freedom fighters - identity politics amplified by powerful emotional triggers.
