How Trump gets and processes information How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

How did Netanyahu let this attack happen? He was warned by 2 soldiers. Israelโ€™s Mossad Agents are among the best in the world. Israel has an army. Where were they on Oct 7? Why did Israelis have to face the horrific suffering, rapes, deaths, kidnappings for so many hours- where was the army?

Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid โ€˜good relationshipโ€™ with developer Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to โ€˜some snails that are a protected species or somethingโ€™ Rachel Reeves unblocked a development of 20,000 homes that were being held up by a rare snail, after being approached by a developer with whom she said, โ€œwe have a good relationshipโ€. The government has been working on planning reforms that nature experts say put wildlife at risk. The reforms could include discarding the EU-derived habitats regulations that protect rare animals, and adding more pro-building amendments to the planning and infrastructure bill, which is going through parliament.

Itโ€™s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president โ€” not any of his aides โ€” who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether heโ€™d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The presidentโ€™s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phoneโ€™s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trumpโ€™s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.
