In his address to the general and admirals Trump bragged about using the most expensive high quality paper with real gold on it for the documents promoting generals and admirals. Then we went on blasting Biden for using an auto-pen, though it is not clear whether he ever did this with these particular documents. Trump…

I wasn’t sure which word to use in the title of this Substack to describe the unique kind of empathy Trump and his MAGA cohorts have. The other terms I considered were obscene, meaing offensive to moral principles, and repugnant. I settled on “perverse” because it was less judgmental.

‘Malignancy’: Historian says ‘everything just feels worse all the time’ with Trump is the article in RawStory that prompted me to write, for the umpteenth time, about Trump being a malignant narcissist. I also posted a comment along with an AI picture of Trump looking at himself in a mirror. Wikipedia gets everything right about…

Even thinking that Trump would be a model for a modern day Rodin to turn into a 21st century version of The Thinker is no doubt a stretch for most of my readers. I would venture to say most of you would more likely think that if an artist, a cartoonist for example, wanted to…
