The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen.
Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen.
There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40. 
The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves.
Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune.
America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans.
And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews.

If you were wondering whether FBI agents are willing to break the law if told to by the president, the answer is is the same as it was for whether soldiers and generals would follow illegal orders: on the whole, with exceptions, yes.
These are practice runs. Like the firebombing of the boats in the Caribbean, they are meant to habituate everyone — the officers, the media, Congress, the public — to the idea that the president can not only break the law himself (we know that, thanks to the Supreme Court), but order others to do so, and no consequences will follow. Nobody quits, nobody gets investigated, nobody goes to jail. Not even if they kill someone.
The United States federal government really want you to believe that this soccer mom with her lab in the car who's last words were a calm "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." was a domestic terrorist. Beyond insanity.
@RepSwalwell You spelled "rape" wrong.
These were vulnerable, trafficked, girls.
This wasn't some 17 year old girl who lied about her age (which... still). These were groomed, trafficked, girls - vulnerable and without powerful/rich parents.
🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie just exposed a hidden Epstein list.
He says the FBI has been sitting on files naming 20 more men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring — including a high-profile U.S. official.
And Kash Patel? Massie says he lied to the American people.
They had the list the whole time.
The coverup is collapsing.
Release. The. Names. Now.
Sorry. But what in the ever-lovin', FRESH DISTOPIAN BLEEP, is this?
I'm hearing about people being required to sign corporate policies stating that they will COMPLY with these regulations.
Huh? What?
(i.e., just google "us anti boycott laws").
My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
