"Over the weekend, on his Truth Social, Trump shared a video purporting to be a segment on Fox News — it wasn’t — in which an AI-generated, deepfaked version of himself sat in the White House and promised that 'every American will soon receive their own MedBed card' that will grant them access to new 'MedBed hospitals.'”

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

"Trump also posted (again, without any basis in fact) that the FBI 'secretly placed … 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during' the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, during which they were 'probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.'"

"Trump also announced Saturday that he intends to send the U.S. military to Portland, Oregon, authorizing 'Full Force, if necessary' to 'protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.' …

What’s been the media’s response to Trump’s bonkers postings and announcements this weekend? Nada."

"Are his acts those of a sane person? Or of an aging paranoid megalomaniac?

Even if it’s unclear to which category Trump belongs, shouldn’t this question be central to the coverage of his presidency? At the very least, shouldn’t the media be actively investigating?"

"[Liza] Goitein told me that 'presidents have deployed troops domestically to quell civil unrest or enforce the law only 30 times in our nation’s 250-year history, yet if Trump follows through in Portland, he will have done it three times in nine months. This is wildly out of step with our nation’s principles and traditions.'"

"Donald Trump, whose desire to deploy the military was stymied by senior Pentagon leaders after demonstrations around the country against the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, has no such constraints on him now."

Will Portland be Trump’s first step toward martial law?

Let’s count down the steps.
