Are you actually seeing this post?
Ever since Donald threw his latest unhinged temper tantrum about me (again), folks have been telling me I've mysteriously vanished from their feeds. It appears the deeply unwell narcissist is so terrified of dealing with me in Congress that heโs begged @elonmusk to throttle my account.
This kind of pathetic desperation is nothing new. But I need YOU to help me beat Donald and Elon at their own game. Don't let a malignant sociopath and his billionaire enabler silence us.

I showed a Trump post to my psychologist friend and asked her to do a proper profile. This was, in retrospect, like asking a vet to look at a particularly diseased badger.
She put down her coffee, read it twice, and said: โRight. Where do you want me to start?โ
The all-caps, she explained, isnโt emphasis. Itโs dysregulation. A regulated adult uses punctuation to signal importance. Trump uses volume, because volume is what worked in the room he grew up in. Fred Trumpโs household rewarded dominance and punished weakness. Donald learned early that the loudest person wins. He never updated that software. He never updates anything. The man is essentially Windows Vista with a spray tan.
โNATO HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.โ The word absolutely is doing a lot of work there. Psychologists call this black-and-white thinking, a cognitive pattern strongly associated with narcissistic personality structures. The world is either total loyalty or total betrayal. No middle ground. No nuance. No evidence of a functioning cerebral cortex.
โMILITARILY DECIMATED.โ She paused on this one. Self-glorification dressed as fact, she said. He has no military background, never served, and has a well-documented terror of illness and physical danger. Bone spurs, famously. Four of them. One per deferment. So he compensates verbally, hard and consistently, because words are his only battlefield and even there he fights like a man wearing oven mitts.
โTHE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO.โ The people who most loudly declare their independence, she said, are almost always the most terrified of abandonment. Classic counterdependence. The kid who announces he doesnโt need friends. In the playground. Alone. Eating his lunch next to a bin.
The threat with no content, โNEVER FORGET THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME,โ she found genuinely fascinating. It has the grammatical structure of consequence without any actual consequence attached. Itโs what you say when you want to punish someone but lack both the means and the attention span to follow through.
And then the signature. His own name. On his own platform. As if the man might otherwise forget who he is halfway through a sentence, which, to be fair, seems increasingly plausible.
She sat back and said: โThis is a man who has been pretending to be formidable for so long he can no longer locate the frightened little boy underneath. But heโs still there. Heโs always there. TACO is always there. Screaming in capital letters at people who stopped listening years ago.โ
I paid for the coffee. It was the least I could do. Sheโs going to need therapy after this.
