Donald Trump

MSN President Donald Trump has crossed from grandiosity into full-blown psychosis, psychologist Dr. John Gartner has warned.  Gartner, a former professor at Johns Hopkins University, told The Daily Beast Podcast that the 79-year-old president is engaged in “magical thinking,” as evidenced by his belief—as reported by Dr. Mehmet Oz—that Diet Coke kills cancer cells.

“It’s something that, again, we associate with psychosis. We also associate it with young children. Freud called it ‘primary process.’ It’s kind of the most primitive type of thinking, where if you imagine it, it must be true. But this is just magical thinking. Anything that occurs to him—any stray, crazy thought—is true,” Gartner told host Joanna Coles.

James Tate  - A new watchdog report from the Government Accountability Oversight Project alleges that President Donald Trump directed $3 billion in federal funds toward his own properties and political allies. The report claims this was achieved through a series of classified security agreements and no-bid contracts authorized during his final year in office. Investigators suggest that emergency national security designations allowed these properties to receive federal payments at rates significantly higher than market value.

The most substantial allegation involves a $1.2 billion security agreement at Mar-a-Lago, an amount that reportedly exceeds the security budget of any private residence in U.S. history. While the Trump legal team has dismissed these findings as a partisan attack, federal investigators are currently reviewing the data. If verified, this would represent the largest alleged self-dealing scheme by a president in the history of the United States.

Huffington Post - President Donald Trump went on a climate change denial rant at a Turning Point USA event in Arizona on Friday, claiming, without evidence, that the Earth is actually getting cooler, despite March producing record-breaking temperatures for the United States.

“You know the green new scam, one of the greatest scams in history, remember?” Trump said. “Climate change, global warming, all of this, they actually had global warming, remember that wasn’t working because we were actually cooling as a planet. Then they had another one and another one and another one, and they were wrong, and then they just said climate change, because climate change takes care of heat, snow, whatever.”

The irony of the president’s speech taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, one of the hottest cities in the country, apparently escaped Trump — as were recent reports that showed this March was the hottest March on record and the most abnormally hot month in the 132 years of records, according to federal weather data.

April 2025 to March 2026 was also the hottest 12-month period on record for the continental U.S, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The ranting of an uneducated, and now senile man.

Trump is both stupid and demented. his policy choices, and choices of people to serve in the administration are the lowest of the low, worst ever. His self dealing and dealing for his family is truly criminal. His war policies and climate policies are hell bent on destroying the world. I just hope we survive with an intact country and planet until the jid tems when hopefully the Republican party will be wiped off the map in most of the country.

Dr Gartner has probably never studied psychopaths. Trump isn't doing "magical thinking". He knows perfectly well that what he's saying is BS. But he doesn't care! He is a psychopath.

Psychopaths have no conscience. An important diagnostic characteristic is that they will calmly lie to your face EVEN WHEN you know they are lying and THEY KNOW you know that they're lying.

Professionals who deal with them have a very hard time maintaining their own grip on consensual reality because the psychopaths are so calm and certain-sounding. We rely on testing our perception of reality against the perception of others, and psychopaths derail us when we talk with them, because they disconfirm what we and others believe to be true and real.
