Salon.com's Andrew O'Hehir, on the Malignant Fascist's "Club Gaza" imperialism and more:
"In the harsh light of day, we may be forced to admit that amid all Trump's whining, he’s got about half a point: There will be no Palestinian state anytime in the foreseeable future, Israel has established itself as the region’s hegemonic power since the Oct. 7 attack, and the inexorable tides of global capital are likely to determine most policy outcomes. It doesn’t follow, of course, that Trump can will Club Gaza into being through sheer force of personality, literally declare war on the E.U. by invading Greenland, or mesmerize Canadians into surrendering their national autonomy.
Those ideas may disappear down the Trumpian memory hole along with so many others, but as multiple reports have assured us, he was 'deadly serious' about them when he proposed them. Where I land in the Trump acid trip, unfortunately, is to take the experience as it comes, and to view it as exceptionally dangerous. Donald Trump means what he says and says what he means, from one moment to the next; he is a fearful, elderly megalomaniac eager to reshape the world in his own image, however and whenever he can." (our emphasis)
Of course with the exception of "elderly," one can say the same thing about James Bond supervillain President Musk's desire to see the world as a terrifying reflection of himself.
