Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, February 12, 2025

Among the reality-based community"those of us who acknowledge Donald Trump's prodigious history of false statements"there's a longstanding debate. Some think Trump knows better and is simply lying. Others think he's sincerely delusional. Trump's latest sitdown interview, taped on Sunday with Bret Baier and aired at length by Fox News on Monday, strongly supports the delusionality theory. And that's bad news for America and the world.

This isn't the way you talk if you're just a liar. You don't threaten and needlessly infuriate your neighbors and allies. You don't bet your country's economy on trade wars. You don't double down on ethnic-cleansing fantasies involving massive American financial commitments, much less "ownership."

It's time to face what the Canadians have faced: Trump isn't kidding. When he insists that the 2020 election was stolen, that USAID is a complete fraud, that the United States can subsist on tariffs, that Canada and Greenland should surrender to American sovereignty, and that Arab states will help him empty and gentrify Gaza, he's not saying things he knows are false or preposterous. He really believes this lunacy. He's deranged.

Watching the hinge-necks surrounding and enabling his slobbering nonsense is just sad.

Wel, thank goodness this debate goes on and on and on and on. I'm sure it's extremely constructive in countering his actions, just like it was extremely constructive in preventing him get elected, twice.

Future historians will likely debate whether articles like this were written by useless idiots who didn't understand how they were unwittingly helping Trump dilute the energy and focus of his opposition, grifters who didn't care, or moles who had that exact intention.

If Donald is crazy, he's crazy.

And he is completely insane, with all that means for the rest os to include you.

Donald is what he is: mentally and emotionally disordered. That's why we have to devote "energy and focus" to him.

Yes, that's MAGA.

At least the elite part.

Ol' SSentinel is an expert in the art of "gaslighting".

He should write a book.

LOL!
