Who remembers the rumor that Bush II called the Constitution "just a piece of paper"? It was never confirmed, but I believe it because they acted that way.

Guess who else treats the Constitution like "just a piece of paper."

Trump and His Family Earned Millions from Trump Coin While 810,000 Others Lost Money: Report

While I agree that the author is probably correct in describing the Felon as a solipsist rather than a narcissist, there is danger in refusing to give a manbaby the attention he demands. When he doesn't get it, it could provoke him to even greater atrocities in order to feed his ego.

The Guardian · Trump isn’t a narcissist – he’s a solipsist. And it means a few simple thingsBy Guardian staff reporter

Long story short: there are plenty of lawsuits being filed, and more to come. But even if the courts were friendly to us (which they're not), they won't save us. The only people who can save us is ourselves.

Personally, I fear for how that's going to play out.

The Nation · The Courts Can’t Stop the Trump-Musk CoupWhile the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.

How do you make a nation great again when you're not paying attention to outcomes? This is why I speak up against faith-based reasoning. Taking actions based on faith with no empirical support guarantees you'll make things worse.

It’s crossed my mind that the #tariffs on #canada might have nothing to do with the American consumer but are a way for DJT to anger enough Canadians into voting for a more right-friendly government. Manufactured hardship for Canadians on soaring prices so they support a more Trump-aligned leadership in elections this year. Americans are just being dragged along for the ride. Tariffs then get dropped once the Canadian elections are over 🤷‍♂️

A kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/) is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century.
Etymology

The word is derived from two Greek words, kakistos (κάκιστος; worst) and kratos (κράτος; rule), with a literal meaning of government by the worst people.
