Power Mad Or Just Plain Mad?

 


The New York Effing Times sent a gaggle of reporters to interview the Malignant Fascist, only to be faced with the horrific reality that ... he really is quite mad:

President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.

Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

“I don’t need international law,” he added. “I’m not looking to hurt people.”

When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law, Mr. Trump said, “I do.” But he made clear he would be the arbiter when such constraints applied to the United States.

“It depends what your definition of international law is,” he said...

Yes, law -- international or domestic -- and the use of power depends on the American Caligula's "morality"!  And on his "own mind."  Well, the latter is melted cheese, and we won't waste any more electrons cataloging his lifetime of criminality, except to say the word "morality" has never been known to be associated with the MF, except by his most lunatic cultists. And he's been on a grifting, corrupt, un-Constitutional, treasonous, racist, evil rampage ever since he was re-elected "in probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made."  Since the notion that the 25th Amendment might come into play at some point is completely off the table, thanks to his rotted-out enablers in the fascist Republican cult, we're in for as wild and brutish a ride as this country's ever been in.  Forewarned is forearmed.
