Yep. Honestly, if I'd ever said that Trump would send messages that deranged to foreign leaders I would have been told I'd lost my mind, that I was in the grips of terminal TDS. But his conduct is consistently worse than many of my worst fears before his presidency.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is not people who are sounding the alarm about Trump. It is Trump himself, sending deranged letters to world leaders about how he plans to annex territory because he didn't get a medal from a committee that government doesn't control.

This must-read investigation lays bare just how unprecedented Trump’s corruption really is. Donald Trump didn’t just pardon a political ally. He erased the verdict against a former foreign president convicted as a major cocaine trafficker, blowing up one of the most ambitious

A compelling graphic look at all the ways that Trump and his family and friends have been monetizing the White House in his second term to enrich themselves more than any presidential clan has ever done before. @LazaroGamio @amyswalk

The president, his family and some of their closest associates have engaged in a sprawling campaign of deals that stretches across industries and the globe.

This hasn't resonated yet outside golf, but what this administration is essentially doing is taking over a national park for invented reasons so that the Trump Organization can run it and profit from it. Imagine if Yellowstone suddenly cost $1,000 but mostly served lobbyists.
We are devastated to report that the Trump administration is officially terminating our 50-year lease with the National Park Service to manage and renovate the three courses. The termination is effective immediately. Read more:

This kind of blatant corruption used to generate front page news for days. Now, it’s just a daily occurrence in Trump America.
Vulcan, a rare-earth magnetics firm backed by Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital, lands a record $620M conditional loan from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital in a $1.4B bid to curb China’s magnet grip, stoking ethics alarms over family-profit optics.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

So petty. So embarrassing. Next president - no matter who - should quietly chisel that stuff off the buildings and remove the Walmart Liberace decorations in the White House.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Just sort of wonder what has to go through your head to decide to send this. Obviously no one around the president is there or willing to tell him he sounds psychotic and monstrous posting this.

A week after FIFA gave Trump a newly created award and made him a focal point of the World Cup draw. And with no real explanation.
In a dramatic turnabout, the Justice Dept asked to dismiss its case against two defendants convicted in the FIFA corruption case (Hernan Lopez & Full Play Group) Lopez had been seeking cert from SCOTUS. DOJ gave no explanation other than it was in the "interests of justice."
