Loved @gtconway.bsky.social comment that Trump probably had the sound down when he decided on Katie Zacharia for Press Secretary. It’s his special measuring rod’s reaction that determines choices and decisions when women are the subjects. Males are measured by other more mysterious standards.

What we know with certainty is that Trump is committing superpower suicide in record world-historical time. Why? The record is unclear though I’m prone to side with the Steele Dossier. Also, Trump’s US is an Axis power - aligned against liberal democracies and on the side of brutal dictatorships.

The poster child for the most barbaric ethnic-nation-state in history is the very much Christian German Third Reich from 30 January 1933 to 8 May 1945. When Trump Inc. talks about people from “garbage countries” poisoning America, his own ethnic lineage betrays the utter racist nonsense they spew.
