The current occupant, just now, responding to a Japanese reporter at a press conference with the Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi. The reporter asked why the occupant didn’t notify allies about the war on Iran:

“Who knows better about surprise than Japan, okay? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, okay?”

Unbelievable. Watch the prime minister’s face.

An MSNOW reporter just characterized that moment as “striking” and “interesting.” That too is unbelievable.

I remembered a 2024 post in which I wrote

About Donald Trump’s fantasy of nine rifles trained on Liz Cheney’s face (a firing squad?): disinhibition is one of the many markers of dementia. See also Trump’s increasing vulgarity in public (“a shit vice president”).

Disinhibition can also take the form of public nakedness. I recall a neighbor with dementia, standing in his backyard one day, naked, immobile — one of the eeriest sights I’ve ever seen. I called his family. Where’s Donald Trump’s family?

The answer, then and now: out making money.
