Trump's latest antics are yet another sign he's 'adopting dictator kitsch': analysis

Americans are experiencing what it’s like to have a president who believes he can act without limits and appears unafraid of facing any consequences, according to a new analysis from CNN.

“In a blitz of recent policy moves, legal challenges, comments and interviews, [President] Donald Trump is showing that he’s shedding the last limitations of custom and the public’s long understanding of how a president should behave,” author Stephen Collinson wrote Monday.

One poor taste move — Trump's AI-generated image of himself as pope.

Ten fucking years and the media and the public still doesn’t get it.

No wonder he gets away with everything.
