Letโ€™s walk back to where we started. What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism. You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. Racism, among other things, is a kind of chauvinism, a belief in oneโ€™s inherent superiority, based on nothing other than a meaningless accident of birth. Itโ€™s an ideology that papers over feelings of inadequacy, that tells you that โ€” no matter what you have or have not accomplished in your life โ€” youโ€™re still better than someone, some group.

Letโ€™s suppose youโ€™re the spoiled son of a self-made man. Letโ€™s suppose that, despite your flash and bravado, youโ€™ve failed at virtually everything youโ€™ve tried. Youโ€™re the laughingstock of polite society, a punchline for the privileged. You think youโ€™re superior enough to be the president of the United States โ€” the highest honor in your country โ€” but the actual president is a man of humble origins, a minority of the kind your family didnโ€™t even rent to when you were in the landlord business. And he is claiming power that rightfully belongs to you. Heโ€™s even mocking you, ridiculing you for all the world to see.

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trumpโ€™s entire political career โ€” from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship โ€” cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism.

The gall. He shot a woman who posed no threat to him and then boasted about it as he and his colleagues falsely maligned *her* reputation to cover it up.

The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

Newly revealed emails undermine RFK Jr testimony about 2019 Samoa trip ahead of measles outbreak Kennedy later said the purpose of his trip had nothing to do with vaccines. US embassy and UN staff at the time said otherwise, emails show

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.

Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.

And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

Goes without saying that there is something wrong with the Savannah Guthrie story.
And the issue is not Savannah Guthrie, to be clear.
The issue is it's Arizona which is a political cartel.
And Kash Patel is racing over there to play hero.
Pray her mother is returned and we learn what truly motivated this horrific abduction.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isnโ€™t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
