Ted Pastrick @splendidsplinter.bsky.social · 28/01/2026How many times do we have to read that Trump is frightened? He is always distressed because he's temperamentally insecure.

Ted Pastrick @splendidsplinter.bsky.social · 22/11/2025The Mamdani Trump event is possibly Trump's attempt to appear to support the "populist" agenda that MAGA was vaguely thinking he might be (hah!) way back when.
