Is Trump Showing Signs of Alzheimer’s?


I am going to answer that question right now. A resounding yes!

Trump is angry that the Nobel Committee did not consider him for the Nobel Peace Prize claiming that he ended four wars. I can give him credit for what happened in Israel but what are the other three? There is only one other that I know of and that is Ukraine and he has abandoned them in favor of Russia and Putin in particular. Putin is an enemy of the state but don’t tell Trump that he is wrong in his bromance with Putin. Poland in particular is very wary of Russia as are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the Baltic countries. They are our allies but Trump does not care, possibly because they are such small countries.

Yesterday, January 20, 2026, Trump rambled on for a two-hour press conference. From the beginning he was making up things as he went along. But he has always done that so what is different now? He showed a large number of photographs purportedly of criminals who have been captured, I’m not but I am guessing there because, again, he did not say who they were relative to ICE. Humorously, as he kept saying, “these are very bad people,” there were several who had a domestic violence against them. They are bad people but not the “worst of the worst” as Trump loves to claim.

First, the insane idea that he will take Greenland by force if necessary. His claim is that Chinese and Russian war-ships are traveling past nothern Greenland. But reports from reliable sources say that this just is not true. In fact, the Chinese have not been sighted in the entire Atlantic Ocean. But he is using this claim as the reason he must have the U.S. own Greenland. The truth is, if we want to build another military base in Greenland, the people of Greenland will be happy to have that. Furthermore, Trump has claimed that Greenland only became owned by Denmark after World War 2. Another fabrication. The fact is, Greenland has be a part of Denmark since the year 986.

Now Trump wants to put a 25% tarrif on many western European countries because they are not doing his bidding, or so he claims. He has single handedly alienated our allies! These are countries that are a part of NATO just as we are. But Trump wants to end NATO too. Why?

In his 2-hour ramble at the press conference, as shown above, he also brought out a thick bunch of paper claiming that it show everything he has accomplished. I bet if you could get a copy of what is on those pages, you would find that it is not more than a bunch of claims Trump is making without proof, of course.

Trump has weaponized the Justice Department to go after people who he does not like. In his sites right now are the Governor of Minnesota, and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul. He says they are actively recruiting people to demonstrate against ICE. Actually, if they were doing that, and they are not, it is not illegal. Trump also claims that the protesters are being paid. He shows not proof to back up what he is saying except to say, “everyone knows.” That will not stand up in a court of law.

Our do-nothing House of Representatives lack the spine to stand up to him and say, “enough is enough.” They are so afraid of Trump being angry with them that they fail to realize that they serve the people and not the Executive branch, Trump. The man has gone off the rails but Republicans are hiding from the truth, a truth that is being exposed and which the American public will show in the mid-term elections as-well-as the 2028 elections.

Trump Alienates the World!


Trump’s foolishness at trying to either purchase Greenland or take it by force show his complete lack of understand by a treaty between the U.S. and Denmark made in 1951 which gave the U.S. unfettered access to Greenland as a part of the NATO strategy. (https://www.history.com/articles/1951-agreement-that-allows-us-military-presence-in-greenland) And for reasons known only to Trump, he continues his desire to own Greenland? Has he not read that 1951 agreement which is still enforce? Probably not. The treaty also give the U.S. rights to any minerals it needs from Greenland.

Trump claim that Russian ships are threatening the U.S. by going over the nothern tip of Greenland. If the U.S. were to want to build a new Naval Base in Greenland as a deterance to those Russian ships, Greenland would absolute agree to its being built. Furthermore, if the U.S. wanted to build other sorts of Defense installations on Greenland, we already have the right to do so.

But Trump decided to put a 25% tarrif on several European countries, our Allies, out of spite. By doing this Trump is putting in jeapordy the NATO alliance which is the world’s largest deterrance to agression. To wit, Ukraine desperately want to join NATO but NATO has said it cannot do so until hostilities between Russia and Ukraine have ended and permanent peace plan establish. Russia in its proposal to end the war is that Ukraine may never join NATO. This proves how strong NATO is right now and how our enemy, in the form of Putin speaking for his country, means to Russia.

Trump is acting against our national interest and in turn is aiding and abetting Russia. Trump has always said that he has a special relationship with Putin. Is he secretly partnering with Russia? I hope not but who knows. Russia was shown to attempt to sway our elections in favor of Trump and his acolytes.

The time is overdue for our Congress to act and restrain Trump’s actions, as it must do according to our Constitution. Article 1, section 8 provides, “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.” This includes tariffs but our presend do-nother Congress has ceded its power to the executive and compromised the seperation of powers as directed by the Constitution. Articles 1, 2, and 3 of the Constitution clearly set out the powers invested in our Congress, Executive, and Judicial. Three co-equal but seperate entities.

Since Congressional Republicans are in fear of a Trump retaliation against them, they have effectively ceded the powers entrusted to Congress to the Execture. We are now in a state of tyranny our founders worked hard to avoid, and yet, here we are.

It is to us, we the people, to vote out those in fear of carrying out their obligations to their constituencies and vote in people who will abide by the Constitution, which they swear to uphold during their swearing in, and not to a would be dictator in the form of Trump.

U.S. Foreign Policy


With his “America First” policy, Trump has decimated our stance as a world leader into a more isolationist policy not seen since 1940 and how did that turn out?

There are responsibilities that go with being the richest nation in the world. We do need to give Americans the first consideration. But that does not absovle us from our foreign policy stance over the past 60+ years. NATO was created immediately after WW2 to create a strong bond between the Western European Countries with the U.S. in defense of those countries. An alliance born of necessity. Trump certainly has no inkly of history as he is right now seeking to destroy that alliance. Why? Because he does not want to pay America’s part in that organization. In 1950 there we 12 countries that were a part of NATO. Today there are 32.

At stake is the peace of all Europe while Russia wars with Ukraine. Trump took office and cut Ukraine off from our assistance. And yet, Ukraine is still taking the fight to Russia. If Russia could defeat Ukraine, it would have already done so. That simple statement should show that each sovereign nation in the world has the God given right to self-determination.

But why is Trump still cow-towing to Putin? He is a despot, a man who thinks nothing of killing his own people. But also a man so in fear of his own life that he isolates himself again possible assasination by his own people. Trump either does not see or does not care that Putin is trying to revive, as much as possible, the old Soviet Union of which he was a part and still longs for those days.

Morality dictates that all free countries of Europe and the U.S. have a responsibility to assist the Ukrainian people against a warring nation, Russia. Right now Europe is doing its best by upping their ante so that they are now giving 5% of their budget to their military. In an ironic twist of history, Germany now has troops based in Lithuania, a country where Jews were eradicated by the German Nazi regime. But ask the average Lithuanian how they feel about the German present and they will tell you how happy they are there. (Atlantic, January 2026, pp. 56-65)

Past administrations have accepted that as a world leader, America has a responsibility to the rest of the world to help where help is needed. Organization such as the World Health Organization (WHO), several UN organizations, and food assistance to Africa have lost American monies they desperately need. Our counties is fast becoming the parriah of the Western World. The Trump’s “don’t care” policy toward the rest of the world is exasperating. We are responsible.

And finally Trump’s ploy to gain Greenland is dumb by any standard. Right now the U.S. can already do almost anything it pleases in Greenland by a treaty signed many many decades ago. We do not need to do anything more.

The world sees Trump as his really is. A playground bully, who, when he does not get his own way will use force to accomplish such. These policies must change or by 2029, the U.S. will have far fewer allies than it did in 2024.

Gestapo in the United States


If you find the title shocking, good! It is meant to be. Those people who call themselves ICE agents are little more than thugs. They are a lawless group of Federal Employees who act again American Citizens with impunity. Please note that I said American Citizens and not illegal aliens.

But on the topic of illegal aliens, since Trump arrived in the White house, he has consistently ignored the rule of law which in the 4th Amendment to the Constitution says:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and not Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Nowhere in that Amendments does it say “American Citizens” which simply means that by extension, this amendment applies to all people living in America. And because the Trump administration under the ospecies of Christie Noem has ignored this civil right entirely. In several reports, American citizens have been taken from their homes and summarily sent to a foreign prison.

Furthermore, the 6th Amendment provides: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.” Again, note the lace of the phrase “American Citizens.” Over the past 250 years, non-citizens have been taken to trial as is their right while living on American soil. They are convicted, serve time in an American Prison and when released are summarily deported to their country of origin.

The Trump scare tactics have used the terms “rapists, murderers, and drug runners” to bring that fear to the average, and unfortunately, an uninformed public. This is the same tactic used in Nazi Germany when the deportation of German Jews began. The idea of an Ayrian race, thow pure fantasy, was what allow non-Jewish Germans to look the other way while their neighbors were looted and dragged away to concentration camps in other counties, i.e. the French and German Jews being sent to Poland.

Right now the tail is wagging the dog. That means We the People are the dog and Trump is the tail. It is high time that Americans took back the power and started demanding of its Government both transparency and accountability. We have the power so we must act now!

Finally, it is the responsibility of the these ICE agents to call in the local police when being confronted by American Citizens in peaceful protests. It is NOT the job of ICE to quell protests that block the streets or that stand in front of ICE agents. That is the place of the local and state police in whose jurisdiction these protests arise. It is fair to say that had the local police in Minneapolis been called in to deal with the protests that Ms. Goode was a part of, there would have been no death that day because those police have mandate to not shoot at a fleeing vehicle. Somehow that principle has been ignored by ICE.

Again I repeat, we must take back the power that is rightfully given to us.
