Did an MMA fighter leap into the box to attack Trump tonight?

This is probably merely due to Trump's lack of knowledge...of the region he decided to start a war in.

I think Big C rightly started a "who's going to have the talk with him?" thread after Biden's disastrous debate. At this point, who is going to have the talk with Trump?

good lord, the amount of bumbling around just at the G7 is making the newsreels. Too much material to keep up with. When he sat at the baby chair and couldn't figure out how to adjust it ….nobody gave a rats ass while he whined

"President Trump declared on "The Axios Show" yesterday that he's discovered "no limits" to his power since going to war with Iran.

A new book reveals he's been entertaining an even grander idea: that he may be the most powerful man in history, Axios' Zachary Basu and Marc Caputo report.

Why it matters: Trump is no longer merely testing the limits of the presidency. He's describing power in world-historical terms placing himself in the lineage of conquerors, dictators and strongmen who bent nations to their will.

In a wide-ranging, 45-minute interview yesterday with Axios' Marc Caputo, Trump repeatedly measured power by submission: G7 leaders believed him when he joked "I'm the boss," he said, while Israel has "a lot of respect for me" and will "do as I say."

Zoom in: In "Regime Change," the forthcoming book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump proudly shows off a document arguing he's more powerful than Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao and Hitler.

Trump "began reading from it," the authors write, "reciting the names of some of history's most powerful figures" and explaining how each "fell short of his own power as U.S. president."

"They didn't have airplanes, right? You couldn't travel around," Trump said of Alexander the Great, the Caesars and William the Conqueror. "Napoleon," he added "with relish," according to the authors.

Haberman and Swan write that the revealing part was "the evident pleasure he took in the company of Mao, Hitler, and Stalin" and "the untroubled ease with which he accepted a place among men who had reshaped the world through conquest and fear."……

The bottom line: Trump posted the "Great Men" document on Truth Social yesterday, calling its author a "presidential historian." Haberman and Swan report the author was actually the longtime caddy and personal confidant to golfer Gary Player.

The document's conclusion: Trump's willingness to use his power on a global scale "makes him by far the most powerful person that has EVER walked this planet."
