He only gets dreamier

President Trump’s comments on world affairs lately really tell a story. For example, regarding Cuba he says, “The place is a mess. They’ve lost control.” (CBS News, 5-20-26)
This commentary might just as well have been directed at America’s constitutional republic, which is clearly a mess and has lost all control over the despot in the White House.
Regarding China’s communist leader Xi Jinping, Trump says he is a “great leader.” (5-14-26) Wow, the party leader who subjects more innocent citizens to the death penalty than even Iran is “great,” huh? I guess what makes you great is your ability to kill off freedom loving folks.
President Trump also announced to America that he didn’t even finish reading a recent Iranian proposal to end the war before rejecting it. (CBS News, 5-10-26) Similar bragging was evident in his accomplishment of the destruction of the Iranian navy, “159 ships at the bottom of the sea.” (Full Measure, 5-10-26)
Possibly at the bottom of the barrel is his recent announcement, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” (PBS News, 5-13-26)
No matter, however. All these messianic statements only excite his base to greater heights of adoration.
