I really wish you all would come up with some factual reporting that aligns with what we all know, which is that Donald Trump is having the time of his life and doesn’t give a f*ck about anything.

He’s not panicking he’s not freaking out he’s not in chaos he’s not in denial - NOTHING.

He doesn’t care.

He won and we all have to suffer for it.

That’s the story.

More or less. But all the setbacks from courts and elsewhere weigh on him hugely. That's part of the story.

He would have to have a conscious hes a con man n a grifter he has no soul…😢

He doesn’t have enough active brain cells left that would allow him to panic. It’s the rest of the evil team that we need to focus on…project 2025 is a great example! Everything else is a distraction from the TRUMPSTEIN files, that’s the goal right now…. Don’t get distracted!!!!!

Mike: Jeffries has just named 3 die-hard Israel-Firsters to the subcommittee of House Foreign Affairs that sets policy on the Middle East and N Africa. They're going to fight to turn American policy towards Israel. This is both middle fingers to not only Democratic voters but to the majority of Americans. This is what Jeffries values over fighting Trump!

I think Substack Democrats overstate pretty much everything about Trump. Even those I agree with on almost everything make statements and claims that are not supported by any irrefutable facts. You're right, Trump doesn't care about anything but himself and even if there is a wave election it won't threaten him. Democrats can impeach him, but it won't result in conviction. If a Democratic House majority impeaches Trump, but Republicans still control the Senate, I expect them to do what Democrats did with Biden -- not hold a trial. Even if there is a trial, he won't be removed from office and that is all he cares about.

Is Trump dying? Aren't we all? I have no idea what Trump's actual physical condition is. He's got bruises on the backs of his hands. I doubt that will be fatal. He has edema in his legs and feet. So, do millions of Americans. The one thing that does seem to be seriously wrong is his brain, but he's an idiot and he's been one for a very long time. One question we don't know the answer to is simply is there any condition short of Trump being in a coma or dead that would actually cause the GOP to remove him from office. For those who don't know presidential history, Woodrow Wilson was very ill in his second term and it is widely believed that his wife and aides ran the presidency for him. But to some extent, minus the wife, that is what is happening already with Trump. He seems far more interested in his ballroom, the Kennedy Center, his name and or image on currency, passports, and everything thing else than he does in ending the war with Iran.

Trump would probably have to do something that is borderline unimaginable in order to get the Republicans to act. If he starts barking like a dog, maybe they'll get the hint. But right now he doesn't make a lot more sense half to three quarters of the time than a barking dog does. Maybe if he takes off his pants in front of cameras that would be enough. Maybe not. I doubt if there is anything he can say that they won't excuse.

No Republican wants to be the one who says -- Trump's brain is fried, we need to replace him. JD Vance has the most to gain if the 25th Amendment is invoked, but he would probably face career-ending outrage from MAGA cultists. Some gun-toting yahoo might even try to assassinate him.

He’s also very ill. I doubt he enjoys much of anything except Natalie’s adoration.

NOTE:

I don't know why there are still two of these same comments. There were five! There was a malfunction when I tried to post the comment and it didn't look to me as though it had posted at all. There was no indication that it had. So, I gave up. Then, I received an email saying someone liked the comment. Since I didn't think it had posted, I decided to take a look and found and absurd five copies of the same thing. I don't know if I've ever managed to make it through an entire Substack video, of more than a few minutes, without the screen freezing, often multiple times, but this is the first time I've had trouble with a comment.

What I see above this comment is the identical comment, but it has a yellow tinge to it and I can't edit or delete it.

Why are you doing the regime’s work for it? You're insisting on just the thing the fascists want us to accept. Why? Are you making excuses for not standing up and fighting back?

None of them are really working, they are complacent to whatever DT does. They all need to lose their jobs because they are not working for their constituents….The reason they have the job. Our employer’s would fire us for not doing the job we were hired for. They need to be fired as well…..

Your lead title "Trust Collapses" was misleading. To me, "Collpases" implies a medical situation.

I want you to know that I was watching you both earlier...I am a long time viewer of Mike's programs, and have recommended them to others, but I turned this one off. Why? I was raised by a man who LOVED his team, and NEVER said a bad word about ANY OTHER team. I never even knew there were rivalries, just that people loved their teams...whichever one they had chosen. You BOTH attacked the team I learned to love from my dad...the Yankees. That was beneath you, and insulting to me. How disappointing! By the way...I have always followed my dad's example, and have also shared his attitude with my students...that people should be able to love ANY team they choose to love.

When I saw the title to this I actually thought Trump had physically collapsed.

Watching from Houston and honestly don’t understand why DT is coming here for a fundraiser.

Robert Irvin's avatar

He needs money he's a criminal that's why he's coming there to take any kind of money he can get from anybody he don't care

Absolutely what Jack said about the Jewish people and Netanyahu. It is not the Jewish People anywhere. It is the current Israeli administration just like it is the USA administration right now!!

Amen about Jewish people and anti[semtism!

There is a difference between Zionists and other people that are of Jewish ethnicity all over the world. There is a difference between the Israeli government and other people of Jewish ethnicity all over the world. Just as there was a difference between the Third Reich and people of German ethnicity. There is a difference between extreme Christian Nationalists and other people who consider themselves followers of Christ (the true definition of a Christian). There is a difference between radical Islamism (my meaning being having goals that include imposing Sharia law, Jihadist believers in holy war, and violent militance) and other people who practice Islam worldwide. Labels can be harmful. Words are important. People in the public eye really need to pay attention to how they frame things and make sure they are very clear about their meaning in this volatile political climate. Even then, words and phrases can be taken out of context and twisted to sound like they are something they are not. People need to be ready to defend what they mean and speak up when opponents twist their words. And Democrats really should stop attacking each other. We don't agree on everything, and that's fine and good and as it should be. We've all said things the wrong way and done things we regret and had moments of bad judgement. We have to stop kicking each other when we're down. We really need to take control of the House and the Senate if we can. That is what is important in this moment.

Ik this is neither here nor there, but some Dems need to dress a LOT BETTER. image is important. Most people just see them on tv and come to an immediate conclusion. The fucking PRIMARY COLOR PANTS SUITS. OMFG

I’m saying this to people I LOVE!!! I want them to be more relatable and real!!! And their hair. OMG 💯I’m not being an ahole, but realistic. I dress like shit on most days!
