JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2016...

An “elder abuse” angle from the democrats could be a winning hand, it would maybe add some sympathy towards Trump, sure, but it also would infuriate him and sow division The downside is “well, look how you propped up Biden?”, because the GOP is very good at projection in advance

JB is accurate and compassionate. Trump, on vanity alone, is easily manipulated. His deteriorating health is being covered up. His default isn't to be kind or thoughtful, and now, mentally challenged, he may be a perfect tool for the worst instincts of the worst people ever to surround a president.

gm0rk.bsky.social @gm0rk.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I really like Pritzker's rhetoric, but that's all it will ever be until we have ICE agents arrested for their crimes. If we're not willing to do that, we've effectively surrendered and rolled out the red carpet for any abuse or brutality they choose to commit against us.

Dr_Moreau1896 @drmoreau.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Good strategy. Trump often seems to have no clue as to what his administration officials are doing. He has always been somewhat disconnected from the daily business of governing but extremely so now. His dementia is on full display if one isn’t commanded to look away.

Hard hard HARD agree - Miller is Rasputin, full-stop. (Also, anyone else get the sense that Trump's mortality is imminent with all his "you need to do good to go to the next phase" thing the other day? Sounds like people assuring him that his "battery running dry" won't be "the End"?)

Gov. Pritzker should give a press conference and threaten JD Vance with a lawsuit for putting his state in danger by not starting the 25th Amendment process to remove Unstable Trump. That will get Jake Tapper's attention.

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Bingo. As bad as Trump is, some of this confusion and backtracking is Trump wanting one thing but then being manipulated by self-serving hangers-on to do worse things. I’m not even sure Trump agreed to bomb Iran. (Sure, he fantasized about it but did he actually intend for it to happen?)

000

Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Yes! Put Trump’s mental state front and centre every time. Then we watch as he reacts. Even his close circle won’t be able to stop him.

Denise Lee @dadavies.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I appreciate that Pritzker expresses concern for how Trump’s family ignore his health problems & his enablers use him for their own selfish reasons. He’s taking the high ground. Even during T1, I was struck by this dynamic. (It may also plant a seed of distrust & drive T even deeper into madness.)

TM @tm71.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

This has been the plan all along. That’s what gives me hope. They wouldn’t keep him in that position if they didn’t NEED him. They know he’s got the cult. They know without him, all of America is going to unite against all these policies. And why wouldn’t we? They’re trying to kill us.

If my father had ever said or done 1/10 the things that Trump has, I’d have flown to Arizona & driven him to get tested myself. His speech & behavior towards the rest of us is just unrestrained id. Now that he’s degenerating further, our best hope may be that it progresses rapidly.

Pritzker’s observation that Trump is being manipulated by his own staff is quite savvy. Not in a political way but in the sense that our Federal leadership has been corrupted. Trumps descriptions of Chicago and Portland are so off base…someone is feeding him lies. Which he repeats.
