Via @brianstelter.bsky.social. This is an example of what I've been trying to explain for the past decade: a dangerous demagogue like Trump is an "unaccountable leader," someone who uses rhetorical tricks to avoid being held accountable. Ask him a question and he calls you "an evil person."
From Reliable Sources: "CBS News Texas reporter Marissa Armas deserves kudos for her straightforward question to President Trump during the president's visit to flood-ravaged Kerrville yesterday. "Several families we've heard from are obviously upset," Armas said, "because they say that those warnings, those alerts didn't go out in time, and they also say that people could have been saved. What do you say to those families?"

 

Trump claimed "only a bad person" would ask such a question, adding, "I don't know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that."

If you’re in office—and you don’t call this out—you’re choosing a side. Silence is compliance. And “oops, I didn’t notice the dictatorial threat” won’t cut it.

Would like some thoughts on this from physicians on here. Look at the way Trump moves his legs—like he’s having circulatory problems. And note the massive bruise we saw this week on the back of his hand. Is he on blood thinners? If so, did he have a stroke at some point?
