'Trump sent a letter to Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre telling him that “considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”'

1/🧵theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Trump was never interested in peace, and the liar never stopped 8 wars, he just falsely claimed he did. All because of his demented racist hatred of Barack Obama, and he got something Trump will never have, a Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump is America's very own Caligula or Nero for the modern age, a mad wannabe Emperor of a non-existent empire, making lunatic pronouncements, and he should be in a lunatic asylum for the criminally insane - for public protection.

Most of these lunatic emperors in history, from Nero, Caligula, Napoleon, Hitler etc, were relatively young compared to Trump, who might have realistically ruled over their envisaged empires for some time. Whereas Trump is a rancid old senile octogenarian, in poor health.
4/

This is the extra dimension to this lunatic, power mad, wannabe emperor, and that he is never going to see his imaginary empire, because he'll either be dead, or so senile, he won't know or remember anything.

Trump has got where he is, playing on the racist, white supremacist, sentiment, which has run through America, since Manifest Destiny, in the 19th Century. But Trump is just a conman, he doesn't really have a coherent vision, he just pretends to.

As I've explained before, Trump's bubble of right wing populism, is about to pop and implode. MAGA are already fighting like ferrets in a sack, and when MAGA voters wake up to find no healthcare for them, rising food prices and climate change, this bubble will burst.
7/

As all the other right wing leaders of the world have pinned themselves to Trump, they will implode with him. Who knows exactly how it'll end with rancid old Trump's demise, his descent into senile madness, or ripped apart by his own supporter base. But it will end, soon.
8/

It cannot carry on. This third term fantasy is just that. Trump is already visibly rotting in front of our eyes, so even if somehow he gets to the end of this term, he will be a decrepit, ranting senile lunatic, that not even his most fanatical supporters can believe in.
9/

Nor will it continue with anyone else, because this whole far right vision, is incoherent and based on one lie piled on top of another. Climate change is real and getting worse, and they have bet the house on climate change denial.
10/

Their vision of a white supremacy society, is just a joke, a Walmart vision, of Nazi pseudo-science, another con job. This economic miracle Trump has been selling, will be revealed as the Emperor's clothes, and that Trump is butt naked.
11/

The oligarch/billionaires behind Trump and modern fascism, with their unrealistic visions of control, flying to Mars and AI, and their own climate change denial, will turn people against them. It will not end well for them.
12/

There is no realistic future vision, just a pile of incoherent, unrealistic fantasy. It has a very limited time span, because climate change and ecological unsustainably will call time on this fantasy. They are at base, all conmen.
13/

It always ends badly for conmen, selling a lie. How long did Hitler's thousand year Reich last? Barely over 10 years. Napoleon's reign didn't last long. None of these lunatic visions of megalomaniacs lasted long.
14/

Given Trump's age, health, both mental and physical, it's going to be an even shorter journey than most of history's megalomaniacs.

Fantasists and conmen, the lot of them.
