Donald Trump Is Nothing More than a Figurehead of Hate
The remnants of Trump's hateful and spiteful brain are being used by his staff to create a police state, but they can be defeated
There’s nothing left. Not really. Whatever synapses once connected logical thought in Trump’s brain are permanently severed. In medical parlance, he’s as close to brain-dead as you can be while still possessing basic capabilities, such as walking and eating.
But, in practical terms, the kind that matters, the kind a nation needs from a head of state, there is nothing there.
Take a look at one of his unhinged posts (annotated with my footnotes) on True Sociopath to see what I mean:
Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING1 disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED2 to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!3,4
Or from this morning:5
If I didn’t “SEND IN THE TROOPS” to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now, much like 25,000 houses burned to the ground in L.A. due to an incompetent Governor and Mayor - Incidentally, the much more difficult, time consuming, and stringent FEDERAL PERMITTING PROCESS is virtually complete on these houses, while the easy and simple City and State Permits are disastrously bungled up and WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE! They are a total mess, and will be for a long time. People want to rebuild their houses. Call your incompetent Governor and Mayor, the Federal permitting is DONE!!!
Nobody knows what he’s talking about in the second part of his diatribe. I’m fairly certain he doesn’t know, either.
He can’t maintain his train of thought in even one paragraph. He shifts his thinking in ways that demonstrate a chilling break in his cognitive thinking. This shifting explains a lot. It’s how he “governs,” too.
In this post, he adds a little dose of hate to his mindless word salad:6
“If they spit, we will hit.” This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!
How did we, as a nation, become comfortable with a president who calls the governor of another state “scum?” And worse, does so in a childish manner by changing the governor’s name? This is the stuff we expect from the most obnoxious online trolls on your Facebook feed, the ones you blocked years ago.
He has threatened to go to Fort Bragg today for a speech. Sadly, he’ll probably honor that threat if his handlers can find a big enough diaper to hold his various waste products while he fumes and rails at those who offend him.
If you have the courage, I challenge you to watch the entirety of his speech to remind yourself how far gone he is.
You will be alarmed, even if you already were. The mass media will not replay any of the most damaging moments.
His maddening speech patterns, the type you will only find in the real world among the most mentally ill among us, have been with us so long that we’ve become accustomed to them, even though we would have sought help for any family member afflicted with the same maladies a long, long time ago.
If we were unable to find 24-hour nursing care for him, we would, with regret, send him to a home. Our friends would show their sympathy:
“It’s really sad you had to send your Uncle Donny to the specialized nursing home, but, dude, I understand. You just had to do it. He would have torn your family apart with his rage and incomprehensible talk about neighbors eating the pets. And he never did get my name right.”
This is not the portrayal we get from the mass media, or, frankly, even our own echo chambers.
The mass media, always in a stage of either denial or outright celebration of his mendacity, continues to roll out stories with plaudits:
“Trump, acting with the confidence of a man on a mission…” and on and on it goes. “He’s gained unparalleled power! Confidence! He’s in charge of an overwhelming movement!”
This kind of talk trickles down into our Substacks and other points of entry within our echo chambers without our being aware of it.
But any objective review of the communications that he creates, without the help of his minions,7 provides a clear demonstration that he’s not all there. His visits with heads of state reveal the same thing.
This isn’t just me ranting.
The National Institutes of Health, a U.S. government agency under the mad king’s supervision, provides the following analysis of Trump’s deteriorating mind:8
In The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, a book published in October 2017, 27 psychiatrists and others point to the dangerousness of this president. They agree that, although a diagnosis should not be made without examination of the patient, dangerousness may be assessed from observed behaviour.
A forensic psychiatrist, who has studied the principles on which the assessment of current and future dangerousness in violent criminals is based, concludes:
‘Trump is now the most powerful head of state in the world, and one of the most impulsive, arrogant, ignorant, disorganised, chaotic, nihilistic, self-contradictory, self-important, and self-serving. He has his finger on the triggers of a thousand or more of the most powerful thermonuclear weapons in the world. That means he could kill more people in a few seconds than any dictator in past history has been able to kill during his entire years in power.’
The authors also consider the ‘Trump effect’ on society, and the malignant normality that is established — what was previously considered unthinkable becomes the norm. Some therapists have seen patients suffering from trauma and re-trauma resulting from the president’s actions, which mimic those of an aggressive abuser, and there were reports of an increase in anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim incidents immediately after his inauguration in January 2017.
The book addresses the dilemma about whether health professionals should make public statements about their concerns. Do they have a duty to warn and speak out? The authors of the essays conclude that indeed they do have this duty when the consequences of not doing so might be so catastrophic.
A bill has been introduced to Congress to mandate a procedure for medically and psychiatrically evaluating a president who is suspected of being unfit to perform their duties.
Dr Bandy Lee organised a conference at Yale in April 2017 with the title ‘A Duty to Warn’, and this book is an extended version of the proceedings. Although there is some inevitable repetition among the 27 authors, the book’s three-section structure — the Trump phenomenon, the Trump dilemma (is there a duty to warn?), and the Trump effect (on American society) — helps to steer the reader through.
Some chapters are brilliantly clear, others less so, but this doesn’t detract from the consensus: Trump poses a great danger to the future of humanity and the planet.
A chilling read.
If one of Trump’s own government agencies has the courage to expose Trump’s feeblemindedness and paranoia, you’d think the mass media could.
But instead of taking the lead on exposing these obvious truths, the mass media, which is owned by corporate entities that will eventually see themselves ruined by the regime, pretend like Trump is a master manipulator. Even his critics in the media regularly emit phrases like, “It was Trump’s plan all along,” or “He is a master of distraction.”
He is a master of distraction only to the extent that he roars obliquely and nonsensically about various topics that change from day to day.
Today, his critics are marveling at his ability to change the narrative to the creation of a police state. Last week, it was his battle with Elon. I mentioned here on Ruminato and elsewhere that the Musk v. Trump Battle of the Dunderheads was a distraction, and, as it turns out, this appears to be the case.
Yesterday, Musk generated emojis on Apartheid Twitter in full support of the Trump regime’s attack on L.A.
We are dealing with people who lick their wounds like slithering underworld demons recovering from another bloody cage match, then move on to the next outrage against us as if there was nothing to see in the first place.
Much of this is because, as drug-addled as Musk’s head is, he has interacted enough with Trump to understand that Trump isn’t the real threat to his trillion-dollar empire. That’s because there’s nothing left. Trump’s mind is gone.
So Musk punches and parries when he has to, in part to entertain the crowd (and perhaps for the short-term benefit of friends engaging in insider trading), but he is keeping his eye on the prize, which is JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller, Project 2025 editor and OMB boss Russell Vought, and the rest of the regime’s cesspool warriors.
But the press, which obsessed over Biden’s age issues, refuses to play up Trump’s feebleness because they know that the Trump regime, which consists of a hateful rapid response team, will turn on its AI machine to quickly generate lawsuits to try to shut them down.
It’s bad enough that we find ourselves in a fight with a brigade of mean Christo-nationalists who would happily see 40% of us eliminated. But we have been facing off against the hate machine known as Fox News for a couple of decades, which has always had the subtle support of mainstream media through contemptible silence over its propaganda.
Now that the machine has been joined by Musk’s Apartheid Twitter monolith and its 300 million willing participants, the task before us becomes even more daunting.
This is a true David versus Goliath moment.
November 5 2024 was the 21st-century version of Pearl Harbor, but this time the enemy comes from within.
The master manipulators want you to express your rage with stones and maybe even a few firebombs on June 14.
But I have a couple of better ideas.
Hit ‘em where it hurts
The first idea is all about love, something foreign to the goons who we are up against.
If you encounter National Guard soldiers during a protest, bring them water and maybe a batch of cookies. According to Gavin Newsom, they are being asked to face off against protesters with few provisions. Newsom discovered many of them sleeping on a floor.
Lift their spirits. They’re in a tough spot. Remind them of whose side they are on.
If you encounter marines, say, “Semper Fi,” and do the same thing. These are not people who want to kill you.
War is about hearts and minds. Always remember this.
Secondly, the resistance needs to open up a new front in this war that the Trump regime has declared on America.
We need to begin a different kind of campaign to reach out to our elected officials who can take action against the regime.
Urge local county prosecutors to investigate the past activities of individual members of the regime. There is more than a 100% chance that the vast majority of them have committed crimes. Why county prosecutors? Because any crimes they uncover are pardon-free.
These are busy people, so it will take a lot of emails and phone calls and letter writing.
So skip all that.
Hit their Facebook pages. District attorneys almost always have a presence there because they love to beat their chests when they announce a major bust or indictment.
This is a reasonably homework-free assignment. You don’t need to get into specifics. It’s not your job as an American citizen to dig up dirt on these enemy combatants. Local prosecutors will be aware of who has been sullying their neighborhoods. You just need to sound the alarm. Blare the horns. Put on the pressure. Then let them do the work. And push them hard to do so.
Most of these will be big-city DAs, not rural prosecutors. Regime fraudsters will have committed mostly white collar crimes in big city venues, the exploits of the Matt Gaetzes of the world and those on the Epstein list notwithstanding.
As Trump gurgles his way into his next series of escapades, we need to start putting pressure on the foot soldiers in his administration. Those are the ones doing the real damage. Urge congress critters to apply some of that pressure, too. If your Democratic congress critter is sitting on their hands, let them know that primaries are coming.
We don’t need a violent revolution to win this.
We need to hug a soldier, and make some friends in the local bar association.
Notes
Unable to climb out of bed because he was nursing a hangover, Pete Hegseth sent his Pentagon’s budget chief to Capitol Hill today to report to Congress critters that the attack on Los Angeles has cost $134 million so far.
Thanks for reading! Please stay safe and keep it peaceful if you’re out in the streets protesting. Don’t give them an excuse to shoot you.
Footnotes
What does that even mean?
Oh, no? Care to cite the part of the Constitution or federal law, mad king?
It seems worth mentioning here that the National Guard had not yet been deployed when he congratulated them on a job well done. I don’t know what goes on in that furry brain of his at 2:41 in the morning, but I do know that most of the soldiers were probably asleep at that hour, like the rest of us who aren’t gallivanting through the streets looking for trouble at that hour.

If you think he writes his Executive Orders, I have a MAGA bookstore in L.A. I can sell you.
Field, Rosemary. 2018. “Books: the Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” British Journal of General Practice 68 (675): 490.1-490. https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp18x699269. via NIH website: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6145972/
I expected that this article would call out those who are writing the Executive Orders and otherwise operating DJT (reminds me of a Star Trek TOS episode where the “real ruler” drugged the head of state to keep out of the limelight.) According to Your Weirdo Friend, they are Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and JD Davenport.
What is the penalty for treason these days?
