Editorial: Trump’s decline has real costs
President Trump’s mental decline has become a national concern. On Easter Sunday, he not only posted a profane tirade against Iran warning he would “wipe out their civilization” but later that day, while talking to children at a White House Easter Egg hunt, he starting ranting about how great the economy was, how the Iran War was going splendidly, and then criticized former presidents Biden and Obama — to children!
A week later, Tom Nichols in The Atlantic reported. “Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV, presented himself as Jesus Christ in an online meme and then jabbed at his phone until dawn. This is not the behavior of a stable, healthy leader. The American people must not look away…. They must pay attention to the president’s deterioration and insist that the House and Senate start acting like functioning branches of the government by asking the White House to explain what is happening, without insults or evasions, before the eyes of the country and the world.”
Meanwhile, as America falters under Trump and a Republican Party afraid to act, China surges and Russia prospers from Trump’s historic mistakes.
