It seems like the entire Cabinet, minus one person who wasn't invited to speak, are caught up in a collective trance, singing Trump's praises and chanting "one of us." This bizarre scene played out during President Donald Trump's first Cabinet meeting of the year. The whole spectacle reeks of desperation and is eerily reminiscent of the 1932 horror film "Freaks," featuring carnival sideshow performers.
Trump's latest executive order was signed in the White House, where chanting continued, but no questions from the press were allowed. Even Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wasn't given a chance to speak. This isn't surprising; it's just another day in the Trump circus, where reality takes a backseat.
One thing that's becoming increasingly clear is that Trump has lost touch with reality. He recently took a photo with Vladimir Putin, who's accused of war crimes, and posted it on the wall in the White House. Even Republicans are starting to question Trump's sanity, saying "that's sending the wrong message."
Trump doubled down on his stance against guns after two American citizens were killed by federal officers in Minneapolis. The president's words echoed those of fictional POTUS Andrew Shepherd from the movie "The American President," which announced that he was going to get guns. The administration later backed off Trump's remarks, but the damage had already been done.
This week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz met with Trump to discuss de-escalating tensions between ICE and local communities, while also urging caution on gun control. This is just one of many examples of how this administration is slowly unraveling before our eyes.
As the President continues to send out inflammatory messages and orders, even some members of his own party are starting to distance themselves from him. This includes National Rifle Association's stance against Trump's call for a "Citizens Only Survey," which some see as an attempt to track down undocumented immigrants.
The chaos in Minneapolis is only the tip of the iceberg. The recent killing of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others has shown that federal officers are not above the law and can target innocent people with impunity. It's time for accountability, not just from Trump but also from Congress.
But amidst all this madness, there's still hope. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won." Let's hold onto that thought and wait patiently until this too shall pass β like a bad kidney stone.
