President Trump is no longer a “wholly rational and responsible person”, political commentator Peter Hitchens has said on GB News.

…

“I think the moment is surely coming when anybody interested in rational politics limited to the true possibilities of what will actually work should start to wonder if the person occupying the Oval Office is fit to do so.

“It’s immensely worrying if he’s doing this and he has the power to do so. This doesn’t seem the work of a wholly rational and responsible person.

“Conservatives who make excuses for Trump because he sometimes does things they like should stop doing so.”

Raw Story: ‘Traitor!’ Vance joins enraged MAGA fans in lashing out at ‘petty’ GOP senator after snub

With their bully boys hard at work, it’s scarcely surprising that there are so few openly honest Republicans left in Congress. Freshly back from insulting Greenlanders, J.D. Dunce heads up an assault on one of their own:

Vice President JD Vance led a barrage of MAGA-inspired attacks against Sen. Mitch McConnell on Tuesday in a rare public rebuke of the former Republican leader over his refusal to support a key Pentagon nominee.

The war of words ignited shortly after McConnell found himself the lone Republican vote against Elbridge Colby, President Donald Trump’s selection to be the Defense Department’s top policy strategist.

“Make no mistake: America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline,” McConnell said in a statement that was quickly circulated on social media.

During a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he would place tariffs on all imported pharmaceutical drugs

President Donald Trump has announced his intention to shake up the pharmaceutical industry with an alarming new tariff plan.

At the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner on Tuesday night, having ignored the warnings from experts, Trump declared: “We’re gonna tariff our pharmaceuticals and once we do that they’re gonna come rushing back into our country, because we’re the big market.”

He confidently stated that such measures would drive companies back to the US and promised: “So we’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals.”

In other words, we’ll treat the pharmaceutical industry like sh*t and they’ll rush back loving us. Fat chance of that!

Guardian: Less Than Half in U.S. Now Sympathetic Toward Israelis

Support for establishment of independent Palestinian state remains at majority level

Although Americans remain more likely to say their sympathies in the Middle East situation are with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, the 46% expressing support for Israel is the lowest in 25 years of Gallup’s annual tracking of this measure on its World Affairs survey. The previous 51% low point in this trend of Americans’ sympathy for Israelis was recorded both last year and in 2001.

At the same time, the 33% of U.S. adults who now say they sympathize with the Palestinians is up six percentage points from last year and the highest reading by two points.

More Americans express sympathy for the Israelis (46%) than the Palestinians (33%) in the Middle East situation, but the margin has shrunk to a new low.

In other words, the tides are changing and the Trump administration is totally missing the boat.

Fox News: Trump threatens to bomb Iran unless they end nuclear weapons program and begin talks on new deal

King Donald’s diplomatic toolbox seems to be limited to (1) bombs and (2) tariffs.

Trump told NBC on Saturday that “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” he said. “But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.”
