Loth also invoked the vantage point from #ArlingtonNationalCemetery, where visitors often look across the river toward the Lincoln Memorial & the capital beyond — a view he said the proposed #arch would reshape. 
“How does it impact the panorama of Washington?” Loth said, invoking a question that he said should guide designers of #monuments. “What is supposed to be doing the speaking?” #Trump #arch #narcissism #vanity #sociopath

“Trump’s increasingly lunatic behavior has bankrupted the English language. Words fail. We stand agape, hoping that the latest report of Trump’s mind-bending antics is satire from The Borowitz Report or The Onion." ~ Robert B.

"Trump’s feud with the Catholic Pope is insane. Catholics formed a significant portion of the coalition that reelected Trump in 2024. Insulting the leader of the Catholic Church will drive millions of Catholics to abandon Trump-supporting Republicans in the 2026 midterms." #Trump #MentalInstability #MentalHealth #megalomania #narcissism #Iran #PopeLeo #Orbán /2

"We have ourselves a Dunning-Kruger president, one who is supremely confident in his abilities on a range of topics where he is completely ignorant. And now he has taken us into a Dunning-Kruger war, defined by that fatal combination of ignorance and confidence." ~ Paul Waldman #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /1 https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/a-dunning-kruger-war-courtesy-of

"Especially in an administration so driven by the whims of one man, that man’s ignorance and unearned confidence can have a profound, even catastrophic effect. In the Iran war, we can see Trump’s ignorance operating at multiple levels from the general to the specific, each of which has its own consequences." #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /2

"Or what they consider that to be. That is what makes them so unpredictable. Consequently, they couldn’t care less about international law. Second parallel: their megalomania has led to massive military miscalculation." #Trump #Putin #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /6

"This is the first war of my lifetime that lacks even a coherent phony justification. It's also the first war of my lifetime in which the president who launched it is simultaneously engaged in a desperate search for a trapdoor through which he can escape." ~ Charles Pierce #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /3 https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a70838293/iran-war-trump-82nd-airborne/

Oh for crying out loud! He does know the Arc de Triomphe was built to honor those who fought & died for France during the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars right? Wait, of course he doesn’t. In fact all the Archs of Triumph are monuments. What’s this a monument for, oh yeah, himself. He truly does fancy himself a Roman emperor doesn’t he? Ugh. #Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall #arch, dwarfing the Lincoln Memorial #narcissism #vanity #sociopath https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/01/31/trump-arch-memorial-circle/

Local historians & architectural experts have said that a large #arch could change the relationship between several historic sites, including Memorial Bridge itself, which was intended as a bridge between North & South in the wake of the Civil War, & memorials for Lincoln & Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
 “It’s a very somber corridor,” said John Haigh, the chair of Benedictine College’s architecture program…. #Trump #narcissism #vanity #sociopath

#Epstein #narcissism #Pathocracy #empathy The murderers and sex offenders...knew exactly what Trump was because they saw themselves. When he played victim after being found liable for sexual abuse, they recognized the playbook. They didn’t love him despite being a predator. They loved him because of it. The same psychological traits that put some men behind bars put others in boardrooms and state houses." https://medium.com/@carmitage/conservatism-americas-empathy-disorder-5afab0b4e242

@mattblaze@federate.social @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social This is exactly right. Unfortunately. Sociopaths (narcissists, psychopaths, and Machiavellians in any combo of these Dark Triad traits) are sadistic. They enjoy the pain of others, and they believe they should own and control everything and everyone. "I think it's worse than indifference. I think they care quite a bit - about maximizing the suffering of those they view as mere parasitic drains on wealth that rightfully belongs to them." #narcissism
