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.

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like
Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.”
It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds.
Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley.
Then he said this:
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it.
It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles.
Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade.
This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage.
Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug.
Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed.
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance.
There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature.
And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine.
Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed.
Class.

“I don’t walk as easy as I used to.
I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to.
I don’t debate as well as I used to.
But I know what I do know:
I know how to tell the truth."
- Joe Biden👇👇
@theliamnissan I had shingles last year. It is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I was even in an airplane crash once. I wish Trump nothing but the worse, may his pain level exceed his ability to do any more harm on the American people and the world
A FORMER SHITTY PORN MODEL THAT STILL CANT SPEAK ENGLISH AFTER MORE THAN 25 YEARS IN AMERICA AND IS MARRIED TO A SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO HAS FUCKED UP AMERICAS EDUCATION SYSTEM SHOULD NOT SPEAK AT THE UN ABOUT EDUCATION AND CHILDREN 😤😡 ABSOLUTELY FUCKING REPULSIVE 🤬😤
The White House says Barron Trump is “too tall” at 6'9" for military service.
David Robinson was 7'0" and put his NBA career on hold to serve in the Navy. Height clearly wasn’t an excuse then and it isn’t now.
@ZelenskyyUa@chefjoseandres It is an honor to stand alongside Ukraine. Every meal we serve is made possible by the strength and generosity of Ukrainians themselves—chefs, volunteers, partners, and neighbors who show up for one another every day. They are the heart of this work. 🇺🇦
