Trump’s hatred is not ideological—it is the blind fury of a man at war with a world he no longer understands. His mind is a museum of outdated grudges, his policies a desperate attempt to rewind time. He does not think. He does not lead. He flails. He does not understand, so he hates.

The Red Hats do not question, they obey. They hate NATO not because they grasp geopolitics, but because Trump tells them to. They rage against trade deals not because they understand economics, but because he needs a villain. Their beliefs are not their own—just echoes of ignorance.

Trump's loathing for NATO isn’t about money—it’s about rejecting what he can’t control. He sees alliances as scams, diplomacy as weakness, and global leadership as a deal he wasn’t smart enough to make. He resents NATO because it is bigger than him, built by minds greater than his own.

His grasp of the economy is just as pitiful: Manufacturing output has surged 80% since 1990, yet factory jobs have dropped 30%—not because of China, but because of automation.

Tariffs don’t bring back jobs that have been replaced by machines—they smother industries. His first trade war raised prices, crushed farmers, and forced companies to automate faster.

Ford and GM didn’t rehire workers after Trump’s tariffs—they laid off thousands and poured billions into robotics.

Trump is trapped in a rusted fantasy of 1950s assembly lines and cheap nostalgia. He slaps tariffs on global trade like a caveman throwing rocks at the lightning, convinced he can beat back the storm.

While China, Germany, and South Korea invest in AI, automation, and clean energy, Trump and his Red Hat cult cling to smokestack jobs that no longer exist. They are not shaping America’s future—they are raging against its inevitable progress.

MAGA America is not stronger, smarter, or more competitive. It is isolated, backward, and spiraling toward irrelevance—because its leader is isolated, backward, and spiraling with incompetence.

I don't know if I have much to say in relation to the morning shots. I'm here with all of you, just waiting to see what fresh hell awaits us today. I am grateful for this community and that I'm not alone in their madness.
