Yesterday I said, “For someone who doesn’t drink, Trump’s late night rants are typical of someone with a substance abuse problem.”
Today, it’s reported that Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie “Trump” Wiles, has said that DJT “has an alcoholic’s personality.”
Nothing of what Trump posted about the murder of Rob Reiner surprises me. And yet, I can’t stop myself from saying something about it.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

For someone who doesn’t drink, Trump’s late night rants are typical of someone with a substance abuse problem. He blames the victim while making it about himself. If Rob Reiner was “tortured and struggling,” it wasn’t about Trump, it was because of his drug-addicted son.
A couple of weeks ago, 60 Minutes had this segment about the yes|no “bet on anything” prediction market company Polymarket.
Anderson Cooper didn’t ask if Polymarket uses AI. Online sources say it does. Is the voting entirely human, or have bots infiltrated that part of the system? It seems ripe for manipulation.
I’m not going to join Polymarket, but I will make these two virtual bets.
Trump breaks yet another tradition. I thought all poor little rich boys used autopens.
I meant to post this after the Democratic wins in November. I hope the iconography of the message isn’t too subtle. 😉
An historian and an economist compliment and complement one another.
