Economist Paul Krugman discusses all the ways Trump is causing our country to deteriorate—and what it means that our country puts up with his worsening megalomania and desecrations of our republic. (The New Republic)
We obliterated Iran, we won the war, they have no military, and those darn uranium deposits are all gone. But then there was no war, we suddenly blockaded the already open Strait of Hormuz, which had already been opened, suddenly there were more ballistic missiles, and the really evil regime in Iran had some smart people.
The Rose Garden, replaced with the trashiness of a patio park resembling Mar-Lago. Bye-bye, East Wing, because it is no longer the People’s House but an extension of Mar-Lago, with all of the trashiness that gold-plated crap adds to help Trump’s ego.
No money for affordable health care, but tons of cash on hand to recreate the Roman Colosseum on the White House Lawn, which now looks like a Level 4 tornado hit it. Bye-bye, allies and NATO and Ukraine, and hello, Putin, Xi, and the rest of the dictators past and present. Killing cops is a good thing if you are doing so for Trump, and as long as you are paying the right price for pardons, no crime is heinous.
Now it is vandalism, not incompetence, that has destroyed the reflecting pool, and taking naps in the Oval Office is a habit. Call on Mike Johnson to let the House take a break whenever Trump feels his ego might get hurt, and of course, insist that pedophilia is not a concern.
2026, we the people, watch, worry, while the Republican majority in Congress, and the Republican majority of activist Judges in the Supreme Court, permit a demented, deteriorating self-loathing, senile, evil, man minus morals or values, play King, pretending that he and only he owns and operates the United States as a part of the Trump Properties.
Yes, Paul Krugman is very on target, very insightful, and knowing all of this, Trump remains permitted to destroy this nation and ruin the lives of anyone living in it who is not a billionaire.
