President Donald J. Trump has lost his mind!  Three recent examples:

One:
Introducing Jerome Powell as his pick for Federal Reserve Chair,
November 7, 2017, President Trump said,
“As President there are few decisions more important than appointment of leaders of integrity and good judgement to hold trusted positions.  .  .  and few of those positions are more important that Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Accordingly, it is my pleasure and my honor to announce the appointment of Jerome Powell to be the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve.  Congratulations, Jay.  .  .  .

I am confident that Jay has the wisdom and leadership to guide our economy through any challenges that our great economy may face.”

President Trump, July 16, 2025, walked back his praise for Powell and—surprise, surprise—blamed Joe Biden!

I think (Powell) does a terrible job.  .  .  .  He’s a terrible Fed Chair.  I was surprised that he was appointed.  I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him, but they did.  .  .  .  He’s a knucklehead.

Two:
In a speech, July 15, at Carnegie Mellon University, Donald boasted that Uncle MIT Professor John Trump taught Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber.
“My Uncle (John) was at MIT.  Kaczynski was one of his students.  .  .  .  I said, “What kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Doctor John Trump?”  He said, “Seriously good.”

There is no connection between Dr. John Trump, MIT, and Ted Kaczynski.    Kaczynski earned a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and master’s and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. 

Three:
The Wallstreet Journal, July 17, reported that a “raunchy,” leather-bound,  book compiled for Jeffrey Epstein’s fiftieth birthday, includes text within a hand-drawn outline of a nude female, with “a squiggly ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.”

In an interview, July 15 Tuesday, Trump responded, “This is not me.  This is a fake thing.  It’s a fake Wallstreet Journal article.  I never wrote a picture in my life.  I don’t draw picture of women.”  A Google of “Donald Trump’s Drawings” reveals the President draws, quite well.  Many bear the iconic, black-sharpie scrawl.  Some are framed; some sold for charity.  There’s even a coloring book.

What began as “let Trump be Trump” mushroomed into the untold thousands of imaginings, fabrications, and bald-face lies which now threaten the survival of American Democracy.

Most puzzling and alarming, no one, not liberals, not “fake news,” point out, much less challenge, Donald Trump’s madness!

What the hell’s happening to America?
