That picture is kind of an unfair representation of the man. This one may be better.

“Dehumanizing” I would note that Hitler and the other Nazis were, famously, humans. They were not from a race of space-faring octopi. And, there’s a lot of Nazi-esque stuff being done by this administration’s humans.

I’d offer $20 for someone to play “You’re So Vain” at his next event as he walked in, but we’d get: “It’s true. That song is about me. Most songs are about me. ‘New York, New York’, ‘God Bless the USA’, ‘Bawitdaba’, ‘Summer in the City’ but not really in the city, maybe on a golf course…”

And this is the perfect encapsulation of what happens when people who are convinced of their own brilliance decide that something is inefficient instead of being important for the proper separation of different levels of classification, which he seems to be talking about here. Just sad.
“There’s, like, so many situations where the computers are so broken,” he said, “even in the intelligence world,” where in order to transfer “data from one computer to another, you have to print it out and then type it into the next computer.

I borrowed a Marvel comics collection ("Avengers: Twilight") from 2024 from the library, and was surprised at how prescient it was: The panel in question and the page listing the creators is attached...

POTUS: I... we can't. I won't a let a war start within the borders of my country, Mr. Jarvis.
Stark: Heh
POTUS: What's... What's so funny, Mr. Stark?
Stark: What's about to happen.
Jarvis: Who do you think you are?
POTUS: I'm... I'm the President! And, frankly, you're just some... some C.E.O.!
Jarvis: I'm THE "C.E.O"...
POTUS: H-Hey! Help! Help!
Jarvis (grabbing the POTUS by the tie): "...of America. And you? You're just the mascot.AVENGERS: TWILIGHT

In our last move one of our cats ended up in a wardrobe box and got moved to the new place in it. Looked for her at both places. “You don’t think…?” <open box>
