"As I’ve watched the news of Trump’s progressively erratic statements, his confusion over which country’s land he wants to claim and colonize (Iceland, erm, Greenland), it is becoming increasingly obvious that his insatiable appetites are now being filtered through a mind that is malfunctioning.
I don’t take this observation lightly. I lived through caring for two parents with dementia."
"For many years, these appetites have threatened individuals, now, as he teeters at the brink of sense, distressing and shocking allies, he not only endangers our representative democracy, but he is destabilizing America’s place on the world stage."
For her blog, Sarah Stankorb reprises an essay she just published in DAME Magazine. It focuses on Leviathan as the proper image to understand Trump and his increasingly apparent dementia:
"Donald Trump’s appetites—for women’s bodies, for prizes and trinkets, for land (international norms be damned)—are insatiable."

"Let’s face it: The Donald doesn’t know what The Donald is going to do or say from one day to the next, so it’s hardly likely that anyone else will. He isn’t even sure if Greenland is Iceland. Hell, they’ve both got land in them. Watch out, England."

Along comes Trump and our emperors have no clothes

"and a legislative branch that has ceded its own Constitutional authority to rein in Donald’s worst impulses despite his blatant corruption, obvious mental decline, and clear desire to dismantle the post-World War II order for his own profit."

"Our allies lay the blame squarely at the feet of an American electorate that, with full knowledge of Donald’s incompetence, psychological unfitness, and megalomania, put him back in charge; a judicial branch, with the corrupt Supreme Court as its back-stop, that granted him virtually complete immunity and continues to expand the reach of his imperial presidency;" (continued in /21)

"He humiliates himself on an almost daily basis and often in the most public ways imaginable. It feels like a bit of cosmic poetic justice.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, his humiliation is ours. The rest of the world doesn’t see Donald as the problem."
"Given the perfect storm of his incompetence, increasing decline across several categories (the psychological, the cognitive, and the physical); and the sense that he is losing control—over himself and the narrative—and the desperation that goes along with that, it was perhaps inevitable that humiliation has come to stalk him at every turn."

More Humiliation on the World Stage
The long-term consequences of allowing this to continueThe Good in Us by Mary L. Trump
"Instead, Tapper dismissed Trump’s multiple mistaken references to Iceland, saying, 'Trump clearly said Iceland. It’s not that big a deal. Why lie about it?'
Yes, Jake, it is a big deal."
In so many ways, Jake epitomizes what's seriously awry with legacy media: the arrogance, insularity, moral vacuity, elision of truth, cozying up to power and money. This is why many of us have stopped listening to the big pundits.

"Where is Jake Tapper when we need him? I hope he is feverishly working on his next book, which will detail Trump’s descent into dementia, claims that Tapper made about Biden in a wildly profitable book. Or, better yet, Tapper could just use his nightly news platform to report Trump’s rapidly deteriorating mental state. There is no time like the present, Jake."

'Trump embarrassed himself—and America--on the world stage at Davos. In a highly anticipated address, Trump stumbled and slurred his way through an incoherent stream-of-consciousness speech in which he repeatedly referenced Iceland (rather than Greenland), even as he surrendered his delusional quest to conquer Greenland."

Peter Rothpletz notes the obsessive focus of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on Biden's cognitive decline, and he then offers a list of crazy Biden statements that he claims Tapper and Thompson uncovered, which prove Biden's dementia.
But these are Trump statements, about which Tapper-Thompson have had absolutely zero to say….

LIVE REACTION: Trump Melts Down at Davos, Confuses Iceland and Greenland

"Don’t dismiss this as trivial: if any previous president had been that befuddled, the whole press corps would have been howling about senility and demanding that he step down.
And of course Trump’s press secretary insisted that he didn’t say what we all saw and heard him say."
"Donald Trump sounded like a fascist dictator suffering from a brain bleed during his speech yesterday at Davos. It was a national embarrassment even by the lowly standards of modern American politics. ... what we have here is an out of control wannabe autocrat who’s cognitively impaired, openly racist, and more eager than ever to use force against his perceived foes both at home and abroad."

"Canada’s leader is a sane adult. America’s leader isn’t. ...
Democracies can no longer maintain close ties with the U.S. The day after Carney spoke, Donald Trump showed why. ...
As the whole world watched, the president of the United States (God help us) repeatedly referred to Greenland, which he is willing to blow up NATO to acquire, as Iceland."
~ Paul Krugman
"And now he’s caved on tariffs and the markets stopped hemorrhaging, and Scott Bessent is just pretty sure this was all part of Daddy’s plan the entire time, because Scott Bessent is another Daddy’s boy with zero self-respect."

"'They called me daddy, right, last time. Very smart man said, "He’s our daddy. He’s running it.”'
He meant Greenland.
The president of the United States went on to give a virulently racist, insulting, rambling speech in which he complained that people call him a dictator but that 'sometimes you need a dictator.' More than anything, though, the speech demonstrated his mental unfitness for his position."

"At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this morning, a visibly exhausted president of the United States of America rambled in angry free association in a speech before the world’s leaders. At one point, speaking of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) dignitaries, he told the audience: 'Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.'"

"'So we want a piece of ice for world protection. And they won’t give it,' Trump continued. 'We’ve never asked for anything else, and we could have kept that piece of land. And we didn’t. They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember.'”

"We are fundamentally breaking the machine that has made America work since the end of the Second World War. That provided our real power, both economically and politically, and all that soft power that people want to talk about. It was the fact that we were predictable, sustainable and profitable."

We Are Fundamentally Breaking the Machine that's Made America Work Since WWII

"There was no escaping it. He was deranged—grandiose, egomaniacal, narcissistic, the sort of man who would get obsessed with acquiring Greenland and blow up America’s most sacred international commitments to get it done. The sort of man who would respond to not getting the Nobel Peace Prize by declaring he was no longer solely interested in peace. The sort of man who would take the medal from its rightful winner and feel no shame at the theft."
"Nobody can actually doubt that the president is deranged. … I’m not a psychologist qualified to make a diagnosis, but it simply has to be significant that it’s hard to have a serious conversation about Trump without using words like egomania, grandiosity, or narcissism.”

"On a stage meant to reflect global cooperation and stability, he instead showcased grievance, intimidation, and confusion. Davos did not reveal strength or leadership. It revealed how unmoored and reckless Trump remains, and why his presence on the world stage continues to alarm allies and embarrass the United States."
