The madness of King Trump

Plus: Melania's weird press conference; Sarah Palin follows me on X; Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" and how it influenced Eddie Van Halen.

Apr 11, 2026

Good afternoon, my friends.

Remember King Lear? While some of the MAGA cultists are in deep denial about Trump’s mental condition, the rest of us are stuck watching a bad rerun of Shakespeare’s play. Trump, like Lear, needs to be flattered non-stop and thus surrounds himself with ass-kissers. Nobody wants to tell the king the truth because they know it will result in being sent into exile.

In King Lear, the king’s mental decline directly affected his kingdom. Well, here we are in the exact same position with Trump! As he declines, his decisions get worse and worse, and he has already become unable to discern friend from foe. Zionist parasites like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin have taken full advantage of the cratering of Trump’s mind. Meanwhile, Trump goes on the attack against allies like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson.

We are watching a real-time rerun of King Lear with Donald Trump as president. If I had known that his second administration was going to be like this, I would not have voted for him, and I’m guessing that I’m not alone in feeling that way. Millions of Trump voters now have a serious case of buyer’s remorse as Trump’s brain and his administration continue their descent into madness.

If you’ve been following the news, you probably know that Trump has been having one meltdown after another on Truth Social. Remember the days when his old Twitter posts were amusing and his arrows always hit their mark? Well, we are hell and gone from those days.

Take a look at some of the recent stuff from Trump’s Truth Social feed:

At this point, Trump is coming across as a crazy old man whose best days are long behind him. Sometimes he seems at least semi-lucid, while other times he just rants in gigantic walls of text. Melania should seize his phone and smash it with a hammer. 🔨 🙄

Let’s review the signs of dementia and how it progresses:

See any signs in Trump’s recent behavior that match that first screenshot? I see at least four of them: memory loss, confusion, mood and personality changes, and difficulty finding words.

If you’ve watched Trump’s public appearances, you can tell that he is not the guy he was in 2016 or even in 2020. He seems to be on a downward trend that is accelerating, likely because of the stress of the office that he holds.

If he weren’t president, he’d still be deteriorating given that Alzheimer’s runs in his family, but when you add in the unrelenting pressure of the presidency, you get a guy who is only going to get worse, faster and faster as time goes by.

Like a moth to a flame, the presidency is going to destroy Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, the rest of us are going along for the ride. The decision to attack Iran was, at its core, utterly irrational. Iran posed no threat to the US, and an attack on Iran had been gamed out many times, and the US always lost. Yet Trump did it anyway, and it will likely go down as the biggest blunder in American foreign policy history.

In other words, Trump has become a danger to all of us who live in America and to the entire world itself. He needs to be removed from power ASAP, or America will end up like King Lear’s England, a catastrophic mess!

Melania’s weird press conference about Epstein

Melania gave a rather bizarre press conference about Epstein and, in the process of doing so, seemed to give Donald Trump the finger to a certain degree. Supposedly, Trump didn’t know about it. However, that seems strange to me considering that she gave it at the White House, and it was then posted on the White House site:

So what was the point of this statement? I hadn’t heard anybody talking about Melania in relation to Epstein, so why bring it up now? Some people have said that it was an attempt by Trump himself to deflect attention away from the lost war against Iran. While others have said it had something to do with a lawsuit against Melania.

I really do not know why she did it or why Trump allowed her to do it from the White House. Maybe he really didn’t know? I suppose since she is First Lady, she can do as she pleases at the White House, but the whole thing is rather baffling to me. I can’t imagine that Donald Trump would want the public focused back on Epstein. At the very least, his idiotic decision to invade Iran took attention away from the Epstein Files for a while.

As far as I know, Trump wants to end the investigation into Epstein, so Melania’s behavior seemed to go against his wishes and the administration’s attempt to make the public forget about it. Does Melania know something we do not? Is there some sort of bombshell looming that she wanted to get ahead of to separate herself from her husband? 🤔

Many questions abound about exactly why she did it, but nobody has a clear answer that explains her motivations. We shall have to wait and see what happens to find out what was going through her mind.

This is Robert Barns’ take on it, and perhaps he is right:

Speaking of Robert Barnes, I recommend following him on X.

Here is a link to the X version of his feed, and here is a link to the Nitter version.

Sarah Palin followed me on X

Pardon my vanity for a moment, please. But I was pleased to note that Sarah Palin followed me on X yesterday. Robert Barnes had reposted her post on X about Trump’s message about overturning ranked voting in Alaska. Trump, as usual, did not mention Sarah and also didn’t mention another guy. She was responding to Trump’s post. So I posted a quick note to her about an article I wrote a while back called “Sarah Palin: The Mother of MAGA,” and she must have liked it.

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Sarah since she was the one that got the MAGA ball rolling when she took on Obama and the Deep State back in 2008. Trump, of course, has never acknowledged her and has treated her like crap. Likely because his ego is so frail that he cannot let himself give her any credit for his success in winning the presidency back in 2016. It just goes to show you what an insecure narcissist Trump is, and nobody should be surprised by it.

Of course, now MAGA is simply Donald Trump’s personality cult. It bears no resemblance to what it used to be, as the real America First people have left MAGA because they no longer trust Donald Trump after the zionists took control of his administration.

Here’s the screenshot I saw on X when I pulled up my notifications page:

I’m glad Sarah liked my article. 🥰

Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker”

I shall leave you with a video somebody put together of Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker.” The performance is from the movie The Song Remains the Same, but in that film we only got fragments of the video. So somebody took it on themselves to create an entire video for the performance, and I think it turned out well.

I have also included the video for the official studio version of the song as a frame of reference for the live performance.

You should know that the guitar solo in “Heartbreaker” was one of the inspirations for Eddie Van Halen’s solo “Eruption.” See the third video where Eddie is talking about how he picked up on some stuff Page did in concert and ran with it to create his own unique tapping style.

Enjoy!
