        PSYCHO PAC…. PSYCHO PAC The ad above was published on page three in today’s NY Times. It reads: As mental health professionals, we have an ethical duty to warn the public that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy. His symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder—malignant narcissism—makes him deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous. He is grossly…

              Of course Trump is known for his love for McDonald’s and hasn’t been shy about allowing photos of him eating their food to be shared.

                The quote “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” is usually attributed to Freud although there’s no reference to where he might have said this. The above image is AI, but in many photos, like this one from his Wikipedia bio, he’s shown smoking or holding a cigar. Of course this references cigars being a phallic symbol…

                  Trump tells us what the most beautiful word in the dictionary is – tarrifs.

                    AI Image from Perchance Trump got a few scattered laughs at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner which is a benefit for Catholic Charities, but from what I saw his rude and crude remarks were mostly met by stone faced people who were visible as he spoke and silence from the audience.
