I look forward to reading your post every night. I find it difficult to sleep, partly because I’m older now, and partly because I know that we are being led by an uncontrolled nutcase who governs through social media. That in itself is something nobody could even imagine several years ago. It’s also a cowards way of sharing information. Courage behind the curtain. I also go to bed at night and just pray that he will go away. I don’t care at this point how it happens, but just that it happens, along with his cronies. The lunatics are, in fact, running the asylum. I agree with everything you say. In a post a couple days ago I had indicated that I had shared your comments to my Republican friends, and wondered if they would respond in any way. They did not. I expected that and indicated it as such. I think it’s important that even if they don’t respond, they might be reading these commentaries from you. I will start sharing them every night with all of my Republican acquaintances and friends. I’m delighted that you can speak for me and I’m sure for others as well. Keep up the good fight. I know that you have people behind you who back you 100%.

If this isn't 25th Amendment territory, what is? And yet Congress is paralyzed and mostly silent. The words of MLK keep ringing in my ears, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”. Silence is not an option!

Right on! Agree completely.

You’re putting events in the proper perspective but it’s so hard to SCREAM it so others can grasp the severity of this problem. Thanks for trying. I’m passing it onto my US Senators and Congressional representatives. It’s the best we can do!

Republican friends? How?

Vicki Archibald's avatar

I’m not sure what you’re asking. How could I have Republican friends? I often ask that myself! But what do you mean exactly?

Vicki Abrams's avatar

You have republican friends. I have a republican husband.

Vicki Archibald's avatar

Mainly neighbors and some old friends I’ve had all my life are republican. I was (basically) until 2016 but republican is not a word that really is used to describe them anymore. They are absolute Maga. Republicans are long gone.

I Resist's avatar

Republicans are gone and the few who have managed to stay are Trump targets and mostly losing. I really, really hope Tom Massie can pull off a win tomorrow. If he does it may embolden others to speak out. He is very courageous! We must all become the Resistance! 💪❤️‍🔥🇺🇸🫶🏼🗽❣️

Vicki Archibald's avatar

Yep. To me, if he loses, the voters are condoning the abuse of the Epstein survivors.

Debra Anderson's avatar

I post these too in hopes that some of my MAGA facebook friends will read them and maybe start realizing that this man is evil and not “sent by God”. I do not expect any responses either.

Well said Vickie♥️

I agree with Vicki! You’re such a good observer, and writer. Tonight’s best phrase, in my mind, is “the normalization of the unthinkable.”

True. It sounds Orwellian.

The longer this farce of a presidency is allowed to go on, with none of the checks and balances we are supposed to have against an unstable president anywhere in evidence, the more we look like a failed state. Everyone pretending normalcy because admitting the truth is too frightening. What is it going to take for the powers that be to wake up and treat this like the emergency it is? No wonder our allies no longer trust us. It seems we have lost all semblance of self preservation and are just allowing disaster to unfold unchecked.

I'm shocked, I don't what say, what was once the greatest country in the world is being run by a person who is clearly out of his mind and nobody seems able to do anything about it. I can't believe that Trump devises all these posts himself - there must be a Rasputin like creature lurking somewhere in the Whitehouse who does all this for him. Getting rid of Rasputin was a crucial part of the Russian revolution but once gone there was no turning back.

Good point - just who is doing the hands on work of generating all this rubbish that Trump them posts? It all takes a lot of expertise that I don't believe for a moment Trump has. The number of posts he makes implies a large team of Photoshop wizards supporting him. No doubt he makes it worth their while. Shame on them.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

Respectable reporters say that it's his aide, Natalie Harp - the one frequently seen with him, carrying a portable printer so she can show him the latest accolades that boost his ego. She's a nutcase, and there's quite a story behind how she got the job.

Christina Stuart's avatar

This is also my point exactly. He has a pool of smart minions carrying out his very wishes. But not only with their fingers on the panel, but also their hands in the criminal mess being generated in every corner of government.

I too felt that shock when it was announced he had won, and I live in Australia, far away from all the hubbub. Or so I thought. Every Trump storm washes more debris my way. That debris might just feed the soil in time, but I'm unlikely to see a benefit. All I can see from here is broken stuff, suffering and tragedy.

JayTay's avatar

Same here, in the U.k. Keep the faith brother.

Terry Tessensohn's avatar

From an American, I'm sorry. It’s enough that he is affecting us so badly. It breaks me at other countries are being hurt by our idiot and chief. I apologize.

JayTay's avatar

Thanks, but it's all him, we are very fond of you normal people.

geo meadows's avatar

Thank you Heather for devoting so much of your life to publicising the horrors of this Trump-led regime.

PAUL WISKEN's avatar

Thank you for sharing this.

I sit here across the Atlantic and wonder why nobody who can do so is apparently trying to remove this demented man from office.

Every night his fantasies get more worrying, yet he is allowed to keep publishing.

I was banned from Truth Social merely for asking when election promises would be kept.

This idiot gets away with monstrous breaches of the rules only because he owns it and every “share” generates more money for him.

It’s difficult for me to understand that this bizarre situation is coming from the White House from an elected President. My heart is broken and weeping for our once beautiful country. I think of Trumps current insanity as an unfortunate event in anyone’s life. However, to see this level of insanity coming from the highest office of our world, I just feel like throwing up.🤮. These images of Trumps I would have never imagined possible. I cannot understand or wrap my own mind around these images posted here are coming from the brain of our own leader of the “free world”. It’s as if these images are coming from a comic book. This tragedy has been nothing short of a nightmare to me and I’m stunned that no one has stopped Trump and wrapped him up in a straight jacket, deposited him in an underground bunker where he cannot continue. Bury him in the Ballroom? I’m so very sick (and so very tired) of this unbelievable situation and so shocked of how deranged our President of OUR COUNTRY is behaving.

This must end now and I now don’t care how. This lunacy must stop.

I won’t be able to sleep tonight with this information bouncing around in my head! It’s unbearable. 💔

Throughout history there have been ‚mad‘ leaders who have in their own narcissistic interests destroyed or nearly destroyed the republic they were ‚given‘ to rule. It always takes many more people than just this one to destroy. One termite alone is not enough to do damage to an entire house, it is the aiders and abettors who take part in this destruction. This man alone did not generate these pictures, he is not smart enough or patient enough to carry out such fantasies. So who is the person at the controls churning out a termite‘s wishes? These pictures should be sent to every Rep. and Senator especially the GOPs who always feign they haven’t seen it and know nothing about it. It should be plastered on every bill board with the captions, “Is this who we want to take us into the future?” Perhaps someone could generate a picture of the USA in a state of the resulting destruction. It only takes a few dishonest people to hook up with one insane person, to tilt the course of history.

It only takes a few dishonest people to tilt the course of history. True that but the top guy always makes the history books, doesn't he? The rest, the so-called minions' names fade into history.

What these minions are busy doing right now is padding their bank accounts. All of them know the gravy train will stop someday and they want to make sure that their buckets of gravy are full. Why stop a madman when he is making you rich? It's all the cult of money.

For the record, I count two friends of Twump's: Jeffrey Epstein and Vlad Putin.

Christina Stuart's avatar

Too true. Let’s add a few more. Steven Miller whose strings to it all are perhaps hidden in plain sight, but very much pulling the levers for the hollow wizard. Blanche can now work effectively for the ‚wizard‘ not only as his personal lawyer but in the capacity of a government official. And then there is a list of tech billionaires giving him the algorithms he needs to operate his dastardly deeds and let us not forget Carr who almost singlehanded is weeding out the media that gets in his way. Lots going on in Corruption City.

George McCully's avatar

It is certainly important to keep recording the progressive lunacy inside his bubble, labeled as such. Just outside, we need to know what is happening—what Vance, Miller, the White House and Congressional Republican hierarchies and Trump's technology enablers are doing on a daily basis. They need to see that an historical record is also being compiled on each of them for future use.

To me, living in Canada, I feel like I’m living on the edge of a nightmare every day that I get the news about what the president is up to. I just can’t believe it how much power he has been given. There’s something wrong with the system. There’s too much power in the hands of one … way too much power! He needs to be reigned in. And all future presidents as well should never have that much power. I hope and pray that the Democrats win the House and Senate in the midterms… or the Epstein files put the man behind bars. God willing!

The United States is in need of an intervention.

Trump is clearly insane. What bothers me most is that there are still people who openly defend him. The Mike Johnson’s and Lindsay Grahams’s of this world and yes, Democrats like Fetterman too, deserve at least as much blame as the chief idiot himself. Or probably more, because they act out of power hunger and greed. These are difficult times and someone needs to stop this free fall in your country.

I have the same feeling of disconnect when I go about my business in the community and then I see this and I read about this about 10 Substack writers every day and I cannot figure out how people can do their normal things. But then here I am doing normal things. It’s a strange disconnect.

Pam O’Connell's avatar

We as citizens should propose that Congress set up a daily ( very large ) screen in which the comments and pictures that the President of the United States is generating are blown up for not only Congress but the whole world to see and to be seeing this together. Until Heather started posting exactly what was on Truth Social I had no idea. If his postings become a daily read in Congress then no one can look away…

I believe the person responsible for creating these horrendous images is a young woman named Natalie Harp. She follows Trump around like a puppy, printing out favorable stories for him to read. She probably has the skills to turn Trump’s fever dreams into reality. She should be banished from the White House immediately.
