The White House should not be used as the most expensive housing facility in the world, but that appears to be happening during Donald Trump’s second administration.
The president showed signs of decline when he returned to the White House in 2024. Trump consistently got the facts wrong, forgot names and muddled basic history to the point where he once blamed Joe Biden for World War II.
If the American people had been paying attention, and Democrats deserve some blame for being afraid to express Trump’s refusal explicitly and repeatedly to voters, they would have seen that Trump was cognitively fit to serve as president.
Trump has made decision after decision, starting with his obsession with tariffs and willful blindness to expert advice that he would cause serious economic damage, and by believing Netanyahu and going to war with Iran, which has demonstrated a serious lack of mental competence on the part of the White House.
The president tried to push a delusional talk Friday about a deal to end the war with Iran, getting everything he wanted. The stock market jumped even after media reports debunked many of his claims about a peace deal with Iran.
Friday turned out to be the opening act, because Trump showed on Saturday how much he is declining.
