    “Something very wrong” describes literally every single fathomable thing that’s come out of this administration.

    Its sad that it takes such ludicrous displays before people acknowledge that “there is something wrong with Trump”. And then large chunks of them will in the next breath continue to support him.

    Onlookers fear ‘something very wrong’ with Trump

    This is their threshold?

    There has been something obviously “very wrong” with him for years. Decades, even.

      He was never all right. Even when he was a kid people said that he had massive ego problems. When he was in high school playing poorly in sports people found the fact that he never admitted to losing or playing poorly to be intensely irritating.

      In the 1980s, Trump always made Spy magazine’s “Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things” list. His one “mitigating factor” was always “at least he’s not in politics”.

      It’s RawStory. Effectively Newsmax for the left wing. Feel-good stories that hold essentially nothing binding them to reality. Best avoided.

      A useful idiot still needs to be able to do things for you, win over the right people, set the tone of the room, be the distraction. If the useful idiot goes off of the rails, stops being taken seriously at all, you’re left with just an idiot. They’re worried they lost the useful part

    Is he aware that the decades of solar radiation on the moon has bleached the flag the Apollo astronauts left?

    It’s white. Indistinguishable from a flag of surrender.

    Not to mention, the US is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty, recognizing space as neutral ground and subject to the same legal precedent as maritime law governing international waters.

    Fucking lunatic should have been removed already.

      Except Trump had made it abundantly clear that: A) American agreements are signed in pencil B) The American people are OK with A).

      I would assume the cloth on the flag has broken down by now. It’s been getting blasted by unfiltered solar radiation for almost 60 years. I’m not sure what it was made of, but I wouldn’t expect thin cotton or polyester lasting in that environment for 60 years.

        On the other hand, it is not subject to air or wind which means there’s no mechanical stress apart from its own weight (which is 1/6 of what it would weigh on Earth), and there’s no oxygen to attack the fibers either. I don’t know for sure but I feel like it is currently still there, but will extremely fragile and would disintegrate on the slightest touch.

    It’s way worse than just the moon:

    Among Trump’s bizarre online posts were images that appeared to be generated with artificial intelligence (AI) depicting him in hellish landscapes with threatening messages. One depicts Trump walking in Washington, D.C. alongside an army of robots and soldiers with red glowing eyes, and the message, “THEY WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.” Another depicts Trump sitting atop a black throne amid a hellish and war-torn landscape in front of giant humanoid robots.

    In another post, Trump suggested renaming the state of New Mexico to “New America,” and in another, redrawing Iran’s borders to mirror the silhouette of Trump’s profile. One post, also likely generated with AI, depicts the destruction of Iran’s Kharg Island with the message, “Bye bye, Kharg.”

    Trump also shared an image of the moon that included the text, “THE MOON IS OURS,” alongside an American flag.

      Is he actually making these AI memes? or is he so fried that Miller is just controlling his account at this point.
