She infamously printed out tweets to read aloud to him in his first term. Presumably does even more cringe, masturbatory stuff for him now. She is constantly by his side most of the time.
He cannot possibly type his longform rants himself, so it's safe to assume she types out his dictations for him.
It's safe to assume he doesn't make them himself. He's probably getting the already made slop from Truth Social accounts or someplace even worse.

Peter Thiel and others have taken the works of those demonstrating how Nazi Germany and fascism seized power (buying media, demonizing the Other and the Outsider, and using those two to force constant concessions and backpedals by liberal parties), works intended to be warnings, and gleefully used them as instruction manuals.
Fascism is definitionally a cult.
Is he actually out of the hospital? https://www.wave3.com/2026/06/22/kentucky-sen-mitch-mcconnell-hospital-still-working-closely-with-staff-says-office/
Reign (of) The Swamp
The war (which he stupidly got duped into thinking would be as easy as deposing Venezuela and installing a puppet) was massively unpopular, and he *craves* popularity and adoration. Narcissists need that praise to live.
Whenever he TACOs, it's almost always because the thing was so unpopular that he chickens out, then pretends it never happened or blames someone else.
This was always gonna end with him massively surrendering to Iran and gaslighting that it was total victory.

Obligatory fuck Ezra Klein
On top of the tens of billions (hundreds?) wasted on the war that Trump started.
US taxpayers were robbed by Trump to bomb the Middle East, and now we're getting robbed again to bribe Iran to reopen the strait.
Oligarchs own the main media outlets, and oligarchs wanted Trump to give them more corporate welfare.
Two awful, evil people want to exploit everyone else and steal the rest of the world's money and power for themself, and they're both planning on backstabbing each other, multiple times, even.
Everyone who thinks society is/should be hierarchical always puts themselves on top. There is no comradery or trust, it's all just flattering other people with power until one party can step on the other's neck and permanently assert dominance.
He disappears from the public for about a week, near the end of every month. They're giving him some sort of treatment to prolong his miserable life.

He has always been a con artist. Everyone is this admin is a con artist, a podcaster, or Stephen Miller with his unbridled hatred of brown people.
Take this claim with a boulder of salt, it's from Axios, who now just blindly and uncritically writes up what the Trump Admin or tech bros tell them.
Trump is a coward at the end of the day, and if he felt like he had the leverage to talk down to Bibi, he would have been doing this back in March. He wouldn't be screeching that NATO needs to solve his fuckup, etc.
They're not idiots. For the last decade they have only voted 'against' Trump when they know the thing being voted on will still pass. I've seen them both vote Yes to move nominations out of committee (where a No could have killed it then). then vote No in the full Senate (where only 50 votes are needed).
But Collins is, and IIRC is losing in the polls.

Maga is fascism, and fascism is a cult. It's about allegiance to the Leader, blind and absolute, so that you stay as part of the in-group.

He has no shame, so he will lie and schmooze everyone with absolute confidence. He flatters everyone to get what he wants from them (money, power, adoration).
Human society revolves around shame as a deterrent. Someone incapable of shame is a superhuman supervillain.
It's worse, the $1 billion is not longer being spent on wind power for us. It's being spent (wasted because it's jumping tracks) to export fossil fuels from the US to other countries. Making energy more expensive twice over for us to line some oligarch's pockets.
....after millions upon millions of people died? In a World War?
"Yeah, the house is on fire, but it'll burn itself out eventually."
It's not guaranteed that things will get better, either, it takes action and resistance to authoritarian capture to claw back those rights and freedoms. I wish I could have the nonchalant attitude your comment seems to give off about it.
Rich authoritarians buy up and create media empires to control the narratives, casting the billionaires as hardworking, honest, philanthropic pillars of excellence and the American Dream.
Monopolizing media outlets is what the fascists of old did a century ago. It works.
From "I am not a crook!",
to "I am not a pedo!"

"The problem with (dangerous, expensive, exploitative, plagiarizing, unreliable thing) is that people just aren't using it right like me"
I think it's the other way around; Google monopolized searching online, then enshittified it to make it focused on ads and surveillance capitalism over actual search results. Google even had a chance to start LLMs years ago and passed on it.
OpenAI blindsided them and succeeded partially because of how diseased and enshittified the realm of online searching had become, all for the sake of profit. Then Google spent years using all their (our) data to speedrun getting Gemini operational.
