Why all the fuss about Trump’s policy initiatives? Isn’t he just trying to set a moral tone for the Republican Party to make America great again?

Trump went on a world tour embarrassing the U.S. every chance he got—cozying up to dictators, insulting allies, and acting like an insecure clown on the global stage. Other world leaders literally laughed at him at the U.N., and who could blame them? He treated international diplomacy like a bad episode of “The Apprentice.”

And Let’s Not Forget About Elon Musk—The Tech Bro Grifter

3. America’s Reputation? Trashed.

Trump’s biggest economic “achievement” was a massive tax cut… for the ultra-rich. Sure, working-class people got a temporary tax break, but those expired while corporations and billionaires kept their permanent handouts. He handed trillions to the wealthiest while driving up the deficit, and now Republicans pretend the debt is a problem (only when a Democrat is in office, of course).

Oh please, “moral tone”? Trump wouldn’t recognize morality if it smacked him in the face with a subpoena. This guy has spent his entire life scamming, lying, and throwing temper tantrums whenever reality doesn’t go his way. His so-called “policy initiatives” were nothing but a mix of self-serving grifts, outright incompetence, and reckless destruction.

These two aren’t leaders. They’re grifters who rely on blind loyalty and non-stop nonsense to keep the con going. The only question is: how many people will still fall for it?

Then came his biggest disgrace—inciting an attack on American democracy because his fragile ego couldn’t handle losing. He lied about the election, riled up his supporters, and sat back watching the chaos unfold as his mob stormed the Capitol. And now, instead of facing consequences like any other criminal, he’s running again, playing the victim while begging for donations like a washed-up televangelist.

Musk wants people to think he’s some kind of Tony Stark-level genius, but in reality, he didn’t invent Tesla, doesn’t engineer rockets, and spends most of his time posting cringe on Twitter. Just like Trump, he thrives on hype and cult-like devotion instead of actual competence.

“Free speech” on Twitter? Actually just a way to let conspiracy theorists and hate speech thrive while silencing critics.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

5. The January 6 Coup Attempt

Remember when Trump promised to “drain the swamp”? Instead, he built a bigger, smellier swamp and stocked it with crooks. His administration had a record number of corruption scandals—his own cabinet members resigned or were indicted at a pace never seen before. He even tried to profit off the presidency, steering government money toward his properties.

4. The COVID Disaster

How do you explain the involvement of a mainland Chinese visitor, her local relative, and a 65-year-old friend of the latter in the suspected money laundering case seized by Hong Kong police?

Trump was never about making America great—he was about making himself rich and powerful at the expense of everyone else. And Musk? He’s just another tech billionaire conning people into thinking he’s a genius while burning billions and playing the victim.

Twitter/X? A dumpster fire under his leadership.

Tesla? Propped up by government subsidies.

Mars colonization? Just another pipe dream to distract from his business failures.

Faced with the biggest health crisis in a century, Trump’s response was to… deny reality. He ignored scientists, spread misinformation, and pushed snake-oil “cures” like injecting bleach. The result? Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths and an economy in ruins. But hey, at least he got to brag about TV ratings during his press briefings, right?

Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?

Somehow, Musk and Trump are two sides of the same overinflated ego. Musk wants to play the “genius billionaire” while scamming the public just as much as Trump does.
