The POTUS conducted some weird and rude political theater in the White House again. This time his staff gave him printed out propaganda to support his crazy conspiracy beliefs about his newest refugees.

The crazy old guy was waving around propaganda and nonsense like he had the holy grail in his hand. Is this elder abuse? Are staff intentionally feeding the gullible old guy baloney?

How can it be abuse when it's making him so much money? They're setting their respective hooks. I am not optimistic.

Will continue to monitor ...

It's very unsettling to see the liberals reaction to refugees who actually have a reason to flee their nation and claim asylum. The difference in treatment towards the white Afrikaners who are currently experiencing a genocide versus Central and South American illegal immigrants who have zero reason to claim asylum and just want to take advantage of the financially bigoted entitlement programs in America shows just how much of a problem Anti-White racism has become in America.

All refugees welcome, except white people it appears. The leftists response to this is eerily similar to their denial of the holocaust.

Can you even point to South Africa on a map?

Can you tell us what language they speak in South Africa?

Do you know what a Boer is? (For context, my grandfather was a drummer boy in the Boer War).

Can you name any South Africans apart from Elon Musk?

Are you denying the genocide? I don't know why people will fight tooth and nail just to justify their bigotry towards other races or groups of people whether it be the South African genocide of whites, Armenian genocide, holocaust, etc. BBC is government funded propaganda and the UK has fallen into an authoritarian dystopia. If you post about the South African genocide in the UK they would probably throw you in prison. Scary freaking times

Even if you hate Trump for whatever warped reasons give the man some credit for helping these people in their time of need.

I appreciate your responses. I decided for myself it was not worth it to continue to engage

Well, there's that time that Biden had dinner with a well known holocaust denier. Wait, what, that wasn't Biden that was Trump? Oh crap.

Then there was the time that AOC spoke at the holocaust denier's conference and hired some staff affiliated with the denial group. No, are you sure it was MTG and not AOC? MTG had to apologize? Oh wow.

LOL

Authoritarian leaders, like narcissistic family members, rely on well-worn tactics to manufacture a psychological state of volatile uncertainty — where outcomes aren't just unknown, but constantly shifting and unpredictable. This overwhelms the brain's ability to anticipate and prepare, keeping people mentally off-balance and easier to control. The good news: Awareness works like a vaccine, gradually building psychological immunity against further harm.

Being "woke" is like a vaccine to the authoritarian BS. Ha

Quote

At its core, emotional control is the narcissist's primary goal: to protect a fragile sense of self-importance and entitlement by maintaining the grand illusion that supports it — without empathy for others. While it's important to note that narcissistic pathology by no means equates to abuse, there are more aggressive versions that use confusion, despair and emotional bonds like loyalty to control how others think and feel, secure a constant flow of admiration or reactivity, shield themselves from shame and keep others attached — even against their best interests.

This last bit reminded me of the ritual praise that the cabinet members are required to engage in when Trump joins them in a meeting. It fits nicely with Trump's reflexive personal attacks of anyone who questions or speaks of him in ways he finds unflattering. Friend or foe.

Quote

Of the dizzying array of tactics, perhaps the most effective is crisis manufacturing. The constant emergencies aren't flukes — they're by design. They keep everyone in survival mode, distracting from deeper issues and ensuring the narcissist stays at the center of attention and control. For my patients who have survived narcissistic abuse, it might be an explosive tantrum, a threat to seek full custody or a frantic late-night call about a (fabricated) mugging. On the national stage, it takes the form of rhetorical escalations, legal threats or emergency declarations designed to dominate the news cycle and overwhelm opposition

They're eating the cats and dogs.
The trans folk are a threat to American culture or our daughters and children.
The Venezuelan gangs are invading our country sent by the government.
We are overrun by dangerous criminals in the country illegally.
There's a white genocide in South Africa.

That's only some of the manufactured chaos from the last 12 months of Trump's mental illness. We could revisit the same pathology displayed in the first term. That didn't end well either.

I'm really anxious to see the reaction your answer inspires. LOL

This small array of headlines seems to highlight foreign policy that looks quite a bit like transactional corruption. Is this evidence of a corrupt presidency or is it just more persecution of the felon president?
