ILLNESS: "Who talks like this?" David Remnick had said!

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2026

And then, we had Megyn Kelly: And then, we had Megyn Kelly's reaction to the president's recent threats. 

To view the tape, you can just click here. With apologies for our decision not to bleep, we think we can answer her questions: 

KELLY (4/7/26): I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this shit! I’m just—I’m sick of it. Can’t he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president—“3D chess.” Just shut up! Fucking shut up about that shit! 

You don’t threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We’re talking about civilians, just casually in a social media post. 

You know, like, I am the first to try to understand Trump and his strategy and not freak out over his weird social media posts and language that is loose and incendiary...But this is completely irresponsible and disgusting. This is wrong. It’s wrong. He should not be doing it.

I don’t care that it’s a negotia–his negotiation tactic is to kill an entire country full of civilians–men, women, and children–an American president, so that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened? It’s just wrong. It’s not hard to say it, it’s not hard to recognize it. I wish he would stop doing this. Like, he can’t negotiate without doing this? What does that say about him? What does that say about the position that our country is in right now in these negotiations? 

He’s got to say this? He can’t be a dignified, strong leader without threatening a bunch of war crimes? Like what is he, Genghis Khan? Like, what is he trying to do and why can’t he do it with strength–threats, sure, go for it–that don’t diminish and demean the United States of America in this way?  

So she said, on Tuesday's edition of The Megyn Kelly Show. For today, we'll regard these as her basic questions: 

Can’t he just behave like a normal human? What does that say about him?  

We think we can provide one (obvious) possible answer to those important questions. In yesterday's post, we said the same thing about David Remnick's recent question:

Who talks like this, Remnick had said.

We think we know how to answer these questions. 

Tomorrow morning, we're going down to see the doc. If we can start to return to normal levels of energy and focus, we'll be happy to tell you what one obvious answer is.

ILLNESS: "Who talks like this?" the gentleman said!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2026

We think we have his answer: Yesterday morning, President Trump offered this post on Truth Social:

Truth Social
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The president gave his blessing to "the great people of Iran," even as he threatened, during the day, to destroy all their bridges and all their power plants and to destroy their ancient civilization.

At the start of last evening's The Last Word, after the president had announced a fourteen day pause, Lawrence O'Donnell suggested that the president's threats had already destroyed "a whole civilization"—our own. 

He said the mere fact of the past week's threats had created "a stain" on the way the United States is seen around the world. He said that stain will never be washed away. 

We don't know if that's right or that's wrong. 

Near the end of the previous hour, David Remnick had appeared on The Briefing with Jen Psaki. 

Remnick has been editor of The New Yorker ever since 1998.  He had a question to ask about the president's astonishing threats:  

"Who talks like this?" Remnick asked. 

He had asked a very good question. We'll guess that Remnick is aware of one (obvious) possible answer.

At this site, we feel fairly sure that we can answer his question! Because we're still weirdly under the weather, we'll offer the answer tomorrow.

ILLNESS: "He has gone insane," the lady said!

TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2026

No one can say we weren't warned: Our most disabled president said this, early on Easter Sunday: 

Truth Details  

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump   

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

So he declared, on Truth Social. But then again, so what?

Yesterday afternoon, on the gong show known as The Five, Jesse Watters said this: 

WATTERS (4/7/26): I didn't think his [recent] tweets were any more bombastic than they usually are. And bombing power plants is not a war crime. 

How about obliterating every power plant, along with every bridge? Because that's what the sitting president has been promising.

As Fox's silliest child engaged in this messaging conduct, the chyron below him said this:   

"OPEN THE F***IN' STRAIT"  
LEFT MELTS DOWN OVER TRUMP'S TOUGH TALK ON IRAN 

Even Fox wouldn't display what the president actually said. To the producers of the nation's most-watched "cable news" program, the president's Easter Sunday message was simply the latest example of "owning the libs," in this case through a bit of "tough talk."   

Watters didn't see anything new, or anything strange, in a profane Easter Sunday rant which openly mocked the religion of Islam. Let's be sure to make this a holy, civilizational war! So the president urged. 

There's really nothing to say today. We just have to tremble and wait as the stated 8 p.m. deadline approaches.  

That said, one person had a different reaction to that "Open the Fuckin’ Strait" post.  That person was Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Republican congresswoman.  

Last evening, on The Last Word, Lawrence O'Donnell built his opening monologue around Greene's reaction to the Easter morning post. To read the lady's lengthy post, you can just click here. 

As we said, Greene's post is lengthy. Headline included, this is the start of Mediaite's report:  

‘He Has Gone Insane!’ MTG Absolutely Bludgeons Trump in Fiery Reaction to President’s ‘Evil’ Threat Against Iran    

Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called out President Donald Trump’s new threat against Iran in stunning fashion—claiming it shows “he has gone insane.”

Greene’s comments followed Trump’s Truth Social post in which he warned of attacks on Iran’s bridges and power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Tuesday.  

 [...]    

“On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted,” Greene wrote, in a post on X. “Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”   

"He has gone insane," she said. Later, she said, "This is evil."   

The fact that she said it doesn't mean that it's true. Also, "insane" isn't a clinical medical term, and Greene isn't a medical specialist.  

In February, the president's niece, who does have a medical background, offered the latest warning. We're sorry to make you sit through this again:  

ERIN BURNETT (2/26/26): You've known him your whole life. Do you actually see a [cognitive] decline?

MARY L. TRUMP: I do, but I think it's important to remember that Donald has never been fit in any capacity. Obviously, what we're dealing with now are age-related cognitive declines. We're dealing with physical issues that the White House tries to cover over.

But this is somebody who for decades now has had serious, undiagnosed and untreated psychiatric disorders, which are only going to worsen, especially given the pressure he's under and given the cognitive and physical declines.  

This is "only going to worsen," she said. And this very day, here we are!

We'd been warned about this, again and again, dating to 2017. But over here in Blue America, the living was easy for journalistic elites. No one tried to start the discussion, and no one ever will.

Also, no one was willing to report and discuss the clowning which streams from the Fox News Channel. The silence of Blues was total. 

Meanwhile, this:

This morning, as we prepare to post, the president has posted this:

Truth Social

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!   

The pomposity is matched by the madness. It will all make sense on The Five. 

We must sit and wait to see what happens. No one can say we weren't warned!
