At 1:20 p.m. this afternoon, the White House press pool entered the Oval Office, where the President of the United States was already seated behind the Resolute Desk. As the cameras zoomed in, he fiddled with his fingers and stared past the people standing in front of him with a blank look on his face. Seconds later, he looked toward someone off camera and asked, “You all set?” Almost instantly, he went into performance mode, launching into prepared remarks about how amazing the economy is before abruptly changing course. “Uh, I guess the purpose of this more than anything else is we’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately, to Lake America.”
The President of the United States of America assembled the press, brought cameras into the Oval Office, and held an official presidential event so he could announce that he was changing the name of a lake.
Trump is hopeless, of course. While it's good to continue chronicling his decline, it is excellent to focus on the enablers around him. They are not insane—they have no excuses.
During Trump‘s first term, he had people who had enough integrity to serve as guard rails. During this second term, there are no guard rails left. I don’t know how we can get that back.
I'm not defending Trump here but I got the feeling under Biden and am now feeling it more strongly with Trump as president, but out of speculation, without any real evidence, I wonder if the current administration is meant to be a performative, ease into a public awareness that the President no longer does nearly as much as president's of the past and act almost purely as a spokesperson for their administration and not a Chief Executive Officer. It's like every event like this just looks like it was intentional.
I'm not downplaying any presidents of the past but I wonder if we are in a state where we are being coaxed into accepting the idea that non elected officials and lobbyists are strictly the ones pulling all the strings now and they're doing this preemptively to mitigate the consequences of a sudden public awareness of the phenomena.
I feel like geopolitically, we're playing a weird propagandic role like that at the behest of foreign partnerships who have a American assets/investments/good diplomatic relations.
That's conspiratorial though but maybe as a thought experiment, like a "disprove the notion" approach would certainly spike people's interest in exercising National Situational Awareness and strive to keep their own sense of our state of affairs.
A lot of people are locked in a speculative world right now where they just grapple with conspiracy theories all day because it's entertaining, but a sociological framework that instills a sense of interest and responsibility towards citizen analysis and I like reading your articles because they make me less interested in non pragmatic studies.
I hope people can develop an obsession with their government.
It's a relationship and it's really unhealthy right now, and it's hurting people mentally in ways that seem irreparable.
I'm a homeless wanderer really and every day I meet someone mentally ill on the streets rambling about the very same things I see all over the internet, like they feel chronically conflicted.
A positive propagandic approach here, could be simply motivating people to apply critical thinking and empiricism to the study of current government affairs.
Sorry for leaving the wall of text. It's kind of all over the place but I needed to get that down before I lost it and I hope you understand that your ability to speak out against issues so clearly and concisely is inspiring.
The Enablers, his sidekicks are rank venal cowards sweeping up the cash leaking out of trumps pockets.
The whole rotten core should be ashamed and if they call themselves Christian’s I hope it’s not Dolly’s Christianity. May every one of them check their conscience over their prayers.

The way things are going here in the United States, maybe we'd be better off is Canada made us her 11th province.
