Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
It’s almost impressive how emotionally volatile he is. Defensive as fuck and flailing, not even trying to tune the bullshit. Maybe he’s just getting too comfortable, maybe it doesn’t matter because if how cemented his power is, but can you imagine if, like, Hillary Clinton said some shit like this when she got oresson on Benghazi. Like “nobody thinks it was bad, if you ask me it’s not bad enough and should get worse”
My theory is that no only does he have a circus entourage of clapping seals almost wherever he goes, LLMs seem like a perfect match for an egotistical idiot with dementia like Trump. It can synthesize an image or tell him a reality of whatever he desires. In some ways he’s more comfortable and feels like he no longer has to answer to anyone.
