"Personalist regimes always suffer from this, but then on top of that we have a personalist regime built on a man who is not just ignorant and malign, he is properly non compos mentis. Pretending he's capable of holding public office and giving orders at all is a kind of mass delusion." ~ Andy Craig #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /1 https://bsky.app/profile/andycraig.bsky.social/post/3mgwt7hgxnk25

"Donald Trump is lost in his fog of war. ... The belief that coherent sense can be made out of Trump’s shuffling words is a weakness of the rational mind that refuses to accept the impulses of the inveterate demagogue for what they are." ~ Sidney Blumenthal #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /2 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/14/trump-iran-vietnam

"Searching for reason in the jungle of Trump’s tales may compel hopelessly sensible people to superimpose logic where there is none in order to satisfy the need for some semblance of soundness." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /3

"'Mr President,' said a reporter. 'You’ve said the war is "very complete" but your defence secretary says, "This is just the beginning". So which is it?' Donald Trump’s eyes darted left and right then down. 'Well, I think you could say both,' he parried." ~ David Smith #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /4 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/14/trump-iran-war-chaos

"The confusing answer at a press conference in Doral, Florida this week did not befit a wartime leader armed with stirring rhetoric and a lucid plan. ... as the conflict with Iran enters its third week, impacting nearly every corner of the Middle East and causing economic tremors around the world, Trump has emerged as America’s commander-in-chaos." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #authoritarianism #strongman /5

"The picture of the shoes did it for me. Just look at this group of clowns. They’re clowns performing for a ringmaster. Supposedly Trump would just guess their shoe sizes. And if he guessed the wrong size, they didn’t have enough courage to actually get a pair of shoes that fit. They’re wearing shoes because Trump guessed the wrong size. That is a sign of mental illness, I think." ~ Phillips O'Brien #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #strongman /6 https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/phillips-obrien-on-iran

"Yeah. Brings new meaning to the cliché: 'If the shoe fits, wear it.' So on that note—God help us all." ~ Paul Krugman #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #strongman /7

"As his approval ratings slide amid growing discontent over his unpopular war in Iran, the President is looking at multiple ways to subvert the mid-term elections, reports Owen Bennett-Jones." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #strongman #elections /8 https://www.bylinesupplement.com/p/trump-when-you-think-of-it-we-shouldnt

"Wars are not decided by social media posts or gut feelings. They are decided by logistics, strategy, alliances, and political resolve. Right now, the world is watching a conflict expand across multiple regions while the person in charge of the United States is posting fantasies about imaginary naval coalitions and claiming total victory over an enemy that is clearly still fighting." ~ Ben Meiselas #Trump #Iran #war #madness #dementia #insanity #strongman /16 https://www.meidasplus.com/p/important-saturday-news-updates-31425

"The president did unveil a new purported justification for the war today in his rambling press conference at his golf thing. He said, quote: 'We’re doing this for the other parts of the world.” We’re doing this for the other parts of the world.' It’s actually hard to argue with that one. That one might actually be true." ~ Rachel Maddow #Trump #Iran #war #madness #insanity #oil #gas #economy #EnergyCrisis #agriculture #fertilizer #food /17 https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2026/03/10/maddow_russia_giving_iran_advanced_targeting_information_trump_giving_russia_sanctions_relief.html

"The Wall Street Journal is now describing this as the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s. CNBC calls it the biggest oil supply disruption in history. Saudi Arabia has now cut its production of oil. Iraq’s production of oil is down to less than one-third what it was before Trump started this war." #Trump #Iran #war #madness #insanity #oil #gas #economy #EnergyCrisis #agriculture #fertilizer #food /18
