Trump ordered the erection of the Iron Dome of America. (The Iron Dome for America – The White House)

This reminds me so about this episode of "Inside Job", where the president was replaced by a sentient android gone rogue.

Does this imply that Trump is sentient?

I can totally believe he never read it and wouldn't care to.... but his advisors helped write it and will push him to do it.

The late Trump has really alarming similarities to this guy, Paul von Hindenburg. He was the last president of the Weimarer Republik, and hated the democracy with a vengeance. He paved the way for Hitler.

An anecdote about Hindenburg in his last days goes that he signed every piece of paper handed at him without questioning, and be it just sandwich paper.

Trump clearly is way slower in thinking than he was a few years ago, and looks like a puppy wanting to get a tasty treat.

I think I pointed out the similarities a couple of times.

They even look the same.

I've heard a number of people point out the similarities. Though I'm not so sure they look similar other than just both being old white men.

Americans choose most expensive way possible to discover what goods made in Canada - The Beaverton

WASHINGTON, D.C. – With US President Donald Trump declaring 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, American citizens have officially chosen the most circuitous and economically painful method possible to investigate what everyday goods originate from Canada.

In the United States, most of our hospitals outside of University systems were founded by religous charities. Methodist, Catholic, and Adventist groups are still heavily involved in their operations.

My husband sent me this today and asked me if I knew who said it, I read it and said "Trump, of course", because this is exactly what he has been doing since he was inaugurated.

He opened by boasting that millions of citizens had welcomed his presidency with “jubilation,” then outlined his plans for expunging key government officials and filling their positions with loyalists. At this point he turned to his main agenda item: the empowering law that, he argued, would give him the time (four years) and the authority necessary to make good on his campaign promises to revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents.

He had campaigned on the promise of draining the “swamp” only to find himself now foundering in a quagmire of partisan politics and banging up against constitutional guardrails. He responded as he invariably did when confronted with dissenting opinions or inconvenient truths: He ignored them and doubled down.

Anyhow, nope, not Trump. It was Hitler.

I'm wondering what Mike Flynn and his Q-Anon followers think the Lutheran Church is doing with this money.

As far as I can tell from a quick (and now very rare) visit to the website formerly known as Twitter, his followers are all riled up about the fact the Lutheran Church also runs several charities to support refugees and asylum seekers, so probably they suspect the deep state is channeling taxpayers' money into those.
