Trump wandered through the World Economic Forum looking lost and confused, mouth open, eyes vacant, unable to stay on topic.
Then, in a moment of disturbing clarity, he called himself a dictator and praised China while mocking Europe. He spread lies about wind power, invented fake history about Greenland, and sparked a diplomatic rupture so severe the European Parliament suspended its trade deal with the U.S.
Back home, leaked ICE documents revealed agents have been told they no longer need judicial warrants to enter homes. What we’re witnessing isn’t just chaos, it’s the collapse of democratic norms, the rise of authoritarian power, and the silence of a Congress too afraid to stop it.
Dementia undoubtedly, but not an excuse. We looked after my father for last five years of his illness. Yes his inhibitions altered, but never a cross word. In the case of Tdump what is being laid bare for all the world to witness, is his inner world of viciousness, vindictiveness and power lust. The silence in the room spoke volumes…all could see the madness, the self delusion. This is good. It’s not games, eccentricity, it’s pure hate and malice of epic proportions. Now the world must act!!!
The members of the EU and NATO have courage and determination. If the US Congress, both houses and both Republicans and Democrats, gets its act together and shows the same determination and courage, we might,all of us, get through this debacle come out better. We will see.
I only hope Europe holds firm, and has the backbone to help good Americans resist this monster. They have the ability to inflict real pain where Trump actually seems to react - the stock market. They can coordinate to send carefully timed moves that "shock" investors. I think it's the only way to get him to back down. Mark Carney knows what he is doing, quietly and strategically vs Trump's bellicose bullying. We need Europe's help to defeat him.
