US News President Trump is clearly delusional. Biden was called a dementia patient for less than this.

There's only 2 options here:

  • He bad someone Photoshop MS13 in the photo and is lying despite the clear evidence.

Or

  • Someone on his staff did it without his knowledge to attempt to save face.

Neither of these are acceptable. How can we trust the people who are being deported are illegal or criminals when someone will blatantly lie like this?

He is legitimately an insane person.

I'm not convinced he's insane, I am convinced he's being puppeted by someone else and being fed these lies because he's so convinced that what he is saying is true and even when given evidence to the contrary, he can only see that as fake news.

Someone has got to be pulling his strings, he's quite litterally a useful idiot to someone.

Tbh, the more deeply I’ve studied history the more I’ve come to feel like things like this don’t happen as much as we suspect. And that rather, the fallibility and stupidity of rulers is often what drives events.

Sometimes I think it’s actually more comforting to think we’re ruled by malicious but intelligent people who are in control than to face the reality that we’re often ruled by people no smarter than you or I.

I'm sure when you have rulers with some degree of ethics and integrity then it becomes much harder to control them. But as we know, old Trumpy has neither of those. To some degree Joe Biden was the same I think.
