Trump may not be a 'madman,' but his foreign policy shows signs of it.

The U.S. president is failing crucial foreign policy tests and his diplomacy suggests he will likely fail more
How can people write such bullshit? Trump's mental illness has been on full display for over a decade now. How can anybody watch this guy ramble incoherently for just a few minutes and not conclude that he is completely insane? I'm so sick of the mental acrobatics people keep performing to sanewash him.
hes not?!
guy doesnt believe in the oath of office he took to adhere to the constitution... wants to use if for toilet paper... demands that he not be accountable to anyone for literally any reason and hes not a mad man!?
He’s accountable to Putin.
Everything he’s doing is in service to him. Trump is a Russian operative. It all makes sense in that light.
Nah... Don't believe Chump's actually accountable to Putain...
Chump is same type of lunatic that Putain is and, therefore, Chump's goals for himself and for the world just happen to align almost perfectly with Putain's...
That and the fact Chump worships Putain and leaders like Putain.
Chump's not doing these things cause he's accountable. He's doing them simply because he wants them...
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤡 🤡
He'd be failing if it weren't intentional.
These stories constantly operate on the assumption that Trump is a rational actor with reasonable goals. Neither is remotely true. He's a fucking idiot who rarely fully understands what he's doing and Russia and oligarchs are easily working his ego and pushing him to destabilize everything.
If he's not mentally ill he should stop acting like every camera his own show where he has to be shocking every 5 mins or people will change channels.
Glad other countries are waking the fuck up to what’s happening, but to be blunt, they need to be moving a lot fucking faster.
What do you mean? How do you think other countries should be moving, in response to Trump? And why?
Serious answer: look at the whole Project 2025 thing, and analyze what all of that implies on a geopolitical scale.
A hint: This is a tectonic shift in what the US is on the global stage. For the rest of the world, how precisely we got here matters a lot less than the fact that we ARE here: we’re breaking bad. We’re going authoritarian. We’re leaning towards theocracy-flavored fascism. They are changing things in places that many assumed would not be touched. People simply do not seem to understand how often and significant the guard railing was in his first term. This will keep going. This will get worse.
We have already betrayed and antagonized and undermined multiple allies. This will keep going. This will get worse.
We are making plans to become more isolationist, and to just drop a lot of defense agreements on the floor because “they’re not paying us enough”. This administration sees everything as transactional - and I mean EVERYTHING. This will keep going. This will get worse.
The best play right now, imo, is to engage in basic game theory - tit for tat. Even on shit that you thought was unbreakable, like NATO, or “having democracy”. Orangeboi does not care, his sycophants and inner broligarch circle does not care (and in fact, more than a few of them are openly accelerationists). You need to reframe your understanding of our country and our government. We are not your ally anymore. You need to not assume we are your ally. You need to not assume that we would never invade you, or do some “special military operation”, or try to openly destabilize your government (see: Canada. And side note: what the actual fuck how is this a real thing that’s happening). Pay attention. You ignore these changes at your existential peril. I am entirely, 100% serious.
