Well, let's see . . .

. . . in the past week , there's been 


The National Prayer Breakfast

at which Trump called Thomas Massie a moron who "loves voting no"

and rehashed for the zillionth time the 2020 election, served up in a word-salad meander about his ego

and employed  his signature usage of brand-burnishing third-person reference to himself to serve up a little totalitarianism with the faithful's hash browns, saying, "If you do say something bad about Trump, I will change my mind and I will have your tax-exempt status immediately revoked."

The standoff between Poland and post-America

in which US ambassador Tom Rose cut ties with lower-house-of-Parliament speaker Vlodzimier Czarzasty to placate the loyalty-demanding Very Stable Genius, who got hurt feelz because Czarzasty didn't support the nomination of the VSG for the Nobel Peace Prize

The Obamas-as-apes video

made by the same guy who did the airplane-dumping-poop-on-a-No-Kings-rally video a while back.

The revelation that

[t]he Trump administration asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for the Washington region’s Dulles International Airport and New York’s Penn Station to be named after President Donald Trump in exchange for releasing the federal funds required to build a long-delayed tunnel between New York and New Jersey, multiple sources told NBC News.

Guess the Kennedy Center and the Institute for Peace didn't satiate his appetite for self-glorification.

Dizzying, I know. But do not become inured. This is way outside the parameters of anything we could define as having experienced before.
