Just when you thought he'd had a moment of revelation about being played by Putin when he spoke to Zelensky at the Pope's funeral yesterday, this appears:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... ker-bleach
Donald Trump’s private golf resort in South Florida will next week host one of the world’s leading purveyors of chlorine dioxide, a potentially life-threatening form of industrial bleach that is claimed without evidence to be a cure for cancer, Covid and autism.

Andreas Kalcker is among 50 listed speakers at the “Truth Seekers Conference”, a two-day event opening on Thursday at the US president’s resort, Trump National Doral Miami. The event features several anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists who have been brought together by the far-right commentator Charlie Ward.

The news programmes have been playing clips from Trump's speech to his followers marking his 100th day in office.

It was typical bombastic Trump bullshit, full of exaggeration, distortion, and outright, barefaced lies. Lots of "greatest ever"s, "like nobody has ever seen before"s, and "beautiful"s.

And the assembled dickheads of course lapped it up, though apparently there were significantly fewer of them there in Detroit than at the peak of Trump's election campaign.

It's like water off a duck's back to me now - it makes me bristle with incredulous frustration, but ultimately it's just bluster.

Yet the persistent question won't go away : how can so many Americans have failed to see what Trump is?

When I first became aware of Trump's existence - years ago, even before he decided to be a crazed megalomaniacal president, I knew instantly that here was an absolute grade 1 arsehole who could not be trusted to run a bath.

And I'm just an ordinary, albeit mildly politically geeky Brit. I'm not spectacularly intelligent, but I like to think I am possessed of emotional intelligence and perhaps better-than-average powers of perception. And I got it, immediately. How come all those Americans did not, and still don't?

Quite. The American psyche is aberrant.

He still has an approval rating of 41%. This isn't a Trump problem, it's an America problem.
