Looks like the demented old man is as senile as ever.

Strait of Iran?



What are the odds of things going pear-shaped again by Monday, with Trump threatening ending Persian civilization and some people making another killing going long on oil and short on the market...

You mean Eric, Don Jr, and son in law Jared?

The May Crude Contract traded as low as $78.97 before trading back up to $83.00
Maybe the Three Amigos covered their shorts and did some buying in anticipation of your scenario?

How much of that you reckon flowed into Trump Family coffers? Two words: Pardon Power.

In an interview, US constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes, a friend of JD Vance, said: "Trump began exhibiting signs of early dementia in September 2025. He frequently confabulates, routinely loses his temper, unleashes screaming rants, and is incapable of doing critical thinking."

And according to Barnes, in this state "Trump genuinely believes that the U.S. has vanquished #Iran and does not comprehend the massive economic damage that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is doing to the global economy."

In short, Barnes concluded that there is something seriously wrong with #Trump - "He is unable to comprehend reality…"

Constitutional lawyers giving medical diagnoses! Mass hysteria!



More likely explanation is that he's the same narcissist con man he's always been, only now he's stuck himself in a situation where he can't be bailed out by a bankruptcy court or lawyer and he is too stubborn to back down and take the L. Bad for the world, bad for our country.

"I'm winning... " Okay, narcissism noted... and yes, saying something like that is almost unbelievable.

OTOH, I think it's great that he's owning this war. I doubt many of his advisors told him this was going to be a great idea. Probably just Hegseth and Netanyahu... maybe Rubio. It's Trump's war.

People at his age can quickly lose their cognitive skills or develop substantial changes in their personality (anger issues). This has been a very common pattern with recent POTUS, both Reagan and Biden degraded substantially while at the WH, that's two of the last five POTUS. Trump 47 seems a lot more unhinged than T45.

The biggest difference between T45 and T47 is that T45 had a lot fewer sycophants in advisory and Cabinet roles that would push back against his bad ideas. Age comes for us all, but he didn't have far to fall and Biden was already mostly gone before he ever took office.

True. He also didn't have Laura talking to him every day and making lots of visits.

These long Trump rants filed with invectives and no paragraphs or coherent structure are evidence off senility.
