January 20, 2025 - exactly 14 months ago - Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Life would never be the same - not just for Americans - but for the world - leading everyone down the road to chaos.
Since that time, every day has been a drama or diversion created by Trump. His goal - as anyone can plainly see - is to run the country according to his whims - ignoring the constitution while playing out his programmed role as a would-be king with omnipotent powers.
What the world sees is a deranged man wanting to be dictator - guided by his emotions and personal agendas. It's always been about money and power. According to Google - Trump's net worth is about $6.5 billion as of March 2026 - up roughly $1.4 billion in the past year alone - (that we know of).
The Epstein Files - they haunt Trump by association and promises made to many rich and powerful men mentioned therein who paid him to protect them from information hidden for decades. The Epstein Files seem to be a guiding factor for Trump - doing everything in his power to block the release of 'all' the files especially those portraying him as a pedophile. He will also go down in history as the only president to have been convicted of rape.
Trump and Tariffs - Tariffs are taxes on the people. They are not the way Trump portrays them to people who don't understand what they are about and believe Trump can fix the economy. His moods and bipolar nature - when countries do not capitulate - has changed the nature of tariffs to suit his whims - alienating countries around the world. Yes, the world often sees him as a deranged sociopath.
Trump's second term began with DOGE which dismantled many essential federal services and jobs for Americans in what Trump and Elon Musk considered a way to cut excess spending all the while enriching billionaires many of whom had supported and contributed to Trump's reelection.
Immigration and ICE - Trump significantly expanded and reshaped how ICE operates shifting from focusing mainly on serious criminals to a much wider group of undocumented immigrants which led to corruption, violence, and death within the system. It reminded many of the years before Hitler rose to power when the Gestapo arrested and killed those he saw as enemies.
Overseas we look at Venezuela, Cuba, and the current war in Iran. Trump wields his power like a superhero come to save these countries and depose of their current regimes after which they will be eternally grateful to him and give him anything he wants. His goal - money and power and the quest for a Nobel Peace Prize - other than the one he 'stole' from Maria Machado. He totally ignored the fact that a Nobel Prize cannot be transferred or shared. Machado gave him the physical medal (symbolic gesture) - but the official prize still belongs only to her.
Climate change - Trump never acknowledged the serious reality of what's going on - because he is simply not program to understand that. Like many Americans, he believes climate change and natural disasters are part of the cycles of the planet - and will stop short of total destruction. They are wrong. History speaks to that.
Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill - cut over $1 trillion in federal health spending further leaving millions of people uninsured - along with major changes to Medicaid, ACA (Obamacare), and Medicare. RFK Jr. is the worst thing that has happened to American health care ... ever. You know who he is ... The man who proudly said that he snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat, has a dead worm in his head, and more. We all know he helped Trump come into office when he dropped out of the presidential race and told his supporters to vote for Trump.
UFO (UAP) dissemination of information - just as with the Epstein Files - Trump has said he will release the files. All anyone will ever see is more redacted information not the truth. He actually said the files were classified meaning - he is aware of them as were his predecessors. Knowing the truth doesn't always provide answers. It often opens the door to more questions.
Transportation - The current government shut down is affecting airline travel, which affects everything in and out of the country. Combine that with surging gas prices and Americans are in big trouble as Spring begins today and travel plans are created for the months ahead. Also of note - Mercury Retrograde - challenges to transportation and communication - ends today.
Resistance - Democrats and others are pushing back in the usual ways. The loss of Congress in November frightens Trump - but he will continue to do whatever he wants no matter who is in power. In the bigger picture, it will take a miracle to undo the damage he has created. There simply isn't that much time left in the simulation.
Fearful Republicans are mostly standing with Trump although many are retiring early or voting against him. Cracks in the Looking Glass.
Recently, I have heard people interviewed on the news who had supported Trump and have come to realize who he is and what he's about. To quote one angry lady from Queens, NY - interviewed while pumping gas - "I supported him in three elections. I was so stupid!"
Trump today is aging very quickly, both physically and mentally. He loses focus, often falls asleep, sometimes babbles, and continues to lie explaining truth through his emotional lens or by telling people what they want to hear using his lilting voice. As Trump approaches 80 - he becomes more senile with obvious physical issues - which characterized Biden in his final years in office - both not fit to run the country.
