You can tell who Trump fears by who he attacks - his newest target

For the second day in a row, the President of the United States held a televised proclamation signing from inside the Oval Office. As the cameras rolled, the focus quickly shifted away from the policy and instead fell on him, because it was impossible to ignore his physical condition. He appeared to have poorly concealed hand bandages, which he tried to hide. His voice was heavy and groggy, and he battled to stay awake, nodding off throughout the nearly 50-minute appearance. And the rest of the country and the world, seeing just how diminished he appeared, were again asking themselves a simple question: Who exactly is running the country right now?Based on the events of 6-11-2026The Breakdown:Trump appeared deeply fatigued with poorly concealed hand bandages, nodding off throughout the nearly 50-minute appearanceAt 8:22 this morning, he seemingly threatened to send American ground troops into Iran to seize Kharg Island and assume total control of its oilHours later, he walked it all back and announced "we just made a great settlement of the war with Iran"Crews continue building an enormous steel cage called "The Claw" on the South Lawn for the UFC cage fight on his 80th birthday, now the subject of a lawsuitUnderneath it all: an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa, measles spreading across our own states, and at least 500 babies and toddlers held in our detention centersTrump turned the full weight of his office on Congressman Jamie Raskin, calling him a "Loser in Life" and demanding the House "EXPEL THE BUM"Who Jamie Raskin actually is: a constitutional law professor of more than 25 years, the lead manager of the second impeachment, a man who buried his son, survived an insurrection, and beat cancer while never missing a voteRaskin's response: the President "must have nightmares" about that impeachmentThe resolution introduced by Darrell Issa, backed by Jim Jordan and more than 20 cosponsors, to expunge both of Trump's impeachments "as if such Articles had never passed"The pattern: first remove the people who can hold power accountable, then erase the record, then rewrite the history while it is still freshGermany in 1933: the first people the regime moved against were the elected members of parliamentThe 96 slabs of cast iron outside the rebuilt Reichstag, one for each member of parliament the Nazis murderedThe contrast between people who risked everything for their country and the elected officials today who folded almost instantlyThe three attacks to watch above all others: the attack on the people we elected, the attack on the press, and the attack on the vote itselfWhy the attack on voting is an attack on the one tool we have left to peacefully undo all the restWhy people willing to sacrifice for their principles are dangerous to those who have noneThe ones trying to hollow out the soul of this country are still the minority. We are the majority. We pay attention anyway, even when we are exhausted, because there will come a moment when someone in our own life finally starts asking questions. And when that moment comes, we will be ready.This commentary represents my personal opinions and analysis of matters of public concern, informed by publicly available information.
