Trump's brain is filled with. worms, or with some other squirming things.

It is not filled with thoughts, knowledge, or emotions beyond resentment and anger.

He won't be saved. Time to get really serious about that America first thing and get rid of him.

Or, your rank paranoia is stinking up the place.

IOW, nothing new.

From the article: He is not just joking. He is not just trolling.

He is not owning the libs. He is not simply toying with the mainstream media.

He is not playing 3-D chess.

He is not a master of the art of the deal. He is not a business genius. He is not a political savant.

He is not a peacemaker. He does not believe in "America first" or even know what it means. And he has no intention of making America "great again."

No matter who you are, no matter how close you are to him, he does not represent you or even care about your interests.

No. He's none of the good or great things the slavering -------- in his Cabinet or on his White House staff make him out to be. And none of the defenses his enablers on Capitol Hill and in the press and across the country have used in the past work any longer.

Yes, and the evidence for his insanity multiplies daily.

It is indeed a mystery.

We live in a culture that can decide to shoot a boy in a hoodie dead for shop-lifing, and make that decision in an instant.

But millions of us cannot decide about Donald Trump.

Or, worse yet, have decided that his madness is somehow divine.

"In addition to asserting that the British deployed military aircraft in the eighteenth century, Donald Trump has indicated that Andrew Jackson, who died in 1845, was angry about the Civil War, and that Frederick Douglass, who died in 1895, is still alive."

Trump Pulls Canadian Prime Minister's Invitation to Gaza Board of Peace'
www.newsweek.com

... President Donald Trump said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation for Canada to join the "Board of Peace" is withdrawn, in a post to Truth Social Thursday night.

The "Board of Peace," launched by Trump this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and intended to guide Gaza's transition out of war, has drawn mixed responses from allies.

Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for additional information.
Why It Matters

Clarity on the decision surrounding Canada potentially affects humanitarian operations and diplomatic alignment around the U.S.-driven process for Gaza's reconstruction, where membership terms"including a draft provision offering permanent seats for $1 billion"have fueled questions about governance.

What To Know

In a post to Truth Social, Trump said,

"Dear Prime Minister Carney: Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada's joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

Carney previously told reporters that he had agreed for Canada to join in principle, but details still needed to be resolved. ...

Oh dear...

Pres Trump's ego may have been damaged when PM Carney expressed an opinion Pres Trump did not like... so, no "Board of Peace" membership for PM Carney.

What does that say about the remaining members of Pres Trump's Board of Peace?

... Now Is the Time to Admit It: He's a Dangerous, Lunatic Moron ...

With each passing day, it is looking more and more like that.

Thank God.

Your posts? Indeed. Frankly, I'm just three klicks away from sending you a gift basket of Trump kitsch in recognition of this unexpected display of a degree of self-awareness you've never shown before. Congrats, kiddo, congrats.

Hey, the US would probably be at war with Europe and NATO if he hadn't made that Greenland deal in 1951.

Why won't Trump just fall over and die already? Actually do the world a favor for once.

It is pronounced "Legion of Doom". I believe their clubhouse is in a swamp somewhere.

No. The time to do that was BEFORE Americans elected him President.

Now it's a bit too late folks.

Now. Sit down shut up and Enjoy your FAFO!

For 3 more years.

We all know that the "Board of Peace" will have to use force to get what it wants. (Does anyone know what it wants?) .

Canadians are way too peaceful to be allowed on a "Board of Peace".

They would ruin the whole aggressive macho "America First!" nature of the board by being all nice and polite and saying "thank you" and "please" and "you are too kind!"

Japan can't be a member either because they are constitutionally restricted by Article 9 from waging war or using force in international disputes, essentially prohibiting offensive, first-strike actions.

Trumpy can't have that.
