The Worst Person At the Worst Time
Hello. I didn’t write this. Mary L. Trump — Donald’s niece, a psychologist who hates him — wrote it today, in her always excellent Substack newsletter. It is the most concise and on-point analysis I have seen of her uncle’s unauthorized, unilateral declaration of war against Iran. That’s also her headline, above.
From Mary Trump:
“As a country, we are at war and the man who led us into this war is a corrupt, degraded, ignorant know-nothing who acted illegally to plunge us into a potentially catastrophic situation without the consent of Congress because, despite the fact that he is president of the United States of America and arguably the most recognized figure on the planet, he wasn’t getting enough attention.
“It is long past time that we stop imputing some deeper or reasonable motives to Donald Trump. Despite being depraved and cruel, much like his cohort Benjamin Netanyahu, he is driven by the most primitive impulses that center almost solely around protecting his fragile ego from humiliation (about which he has a pathological terror) and himself from the reality that he is a complete fraud.”

I have nothing valuable to add, so won’t even try. She nailed it.
That’s it for today. See you tomorrow or Tuesday.

Questions and Observations:
In any rational country, there would be an immediate, bipartisan vote to impeach him. But the U.S. is no longer such a place.
Nothing can be added to Mary Trump's opinion piece. She has described the situation with absolute clarity and precision.
