Donald Trump is terrified. He’s also desperate. He sounds unhinged because he finally understands something: all his best tricks and skulduggery led him here.

So much so that over the weekend, he ranted that reporters who cover his Iran war “negatively” should face TREASON charges, a crime that still carries the death penalty in the U.S.

He exploited the press on his rise, then manipulated them on purpose when he became president so they’d trash‑talk him on cue. His little cult wanted their hero to tweak the noses of the “leftist” press, and he delivered. The press fell for it hook, line, and sinker. In a world of seven billion people in 2016, only one person managed to suck up the entire journalism supply.

He schemed and stacked the Supreme Court. He made sure he could do anything he wanted with literal impunity, and he got it. He surrounded himself with loyalists who would wear the over‑sized shoes he handed them (he did it on purpose, to test devotion) and do whatever he demanded. He misused emergency powers and turned the House and the Senate into impotent, toothless voids.

Everything seemed perfect until two words altered everything: Jeffrey Epstein.

Any nation or cabal that has that dirt now has a puppet in the Oval Office. No matter how hard he tries, no misdirection is working. So he makes empty threats to murder reporters who don’t disseminate his Trumpaganda and blames AI for his failures. He now insists Iran is using artificial intelligence as a “disinformation weapon,” supposedly feeding fake AI videos and images to a “very appreciative Fake News Media”, because of course, it’s never his lies, it’s always the robots. He claims AI‑generated clips of phantom “kamikaze boats” and a burning USS Abraham Lincoln prove that Iran and the media are conspiring against him, and that those who share them should be punished as traitors.

Yes, we’re supposed to believe all the AI agents had secret meetings and decided to make Trump look like a fool by using facts and truth. The rascals.

It’s not working there, buddy. We can see you.

He alienated allies and then barks orders for them to comply. He mangled the U.S. economy with tariffs and ICE raids, and now the Iran War.

When your plan depends on getting every single person in existence to bow to you, you don’t have a master plan; you have a stupid one. Yet that’s exactly what he promised his credulous, petty followers, and it’s all unravelling, rapidly.

It is the Curse of the Messiah: if you promise your followers deific powers, you had better deliver.

Except he’s no messiah. He’s just a desperate and indulged nincompoop who stoops to threats as he runs out of options and cheap tricks.
