You know what is really, really terrifying about Trump's performance at the NATO summit?

Ms. Average Old Guy has been hospitalized for past 15 days -- first ER, then hospital, and now last 12 days in rehab center. She's coming home tomorrow almost good as new (as good as we 80-yr-olds can be!).

So -- today while chasing around buying groceries, filling prescriptions, and the like I listened to a lot of CNN and MSNOW on the car SiriusXM radio. Heard A LOT of commentary about Trump at the NATO summit plus long audio clips of Trump's comments, remarks, replies to reporters' questions.

SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

But you know what was really terrifying about Trump's comments? NOT ONE WORD OF IT SURPRISED ME. NOTHING HE SAID SURPRISED ME.

Gang, when we have a public official who spouts the brain farts that Trump does and we say, "Oh, well, that's Trump." then we are in deep, deep shit. Yes, we are.

Not a single word he uttered was surprising.

I only hope that once he is gone, these MAGAs start to drift away, start saying they never "really" supported him... whatever... just go back under your rocks.

Whereas your life has been upended with real life experiences , it’s just another day of the shitshow we have come to accept as trump … if we could just excise him from our reality

What a world it could be … 🙏 to you and yours

I has MSNOW on in the background while doing other things. It was truly troubling. He is devolving.

Warning warning warning, Will Robinson.

Wishing Mrs. AOG a speedy recovery!

We may all get swept back to the stone age by Trump's dementia if he decides to bomb the Communists here in America. And we may deserve such a thing for being such fools to have elected him and then not stopping the madness in time.

The "Master Grifter" had his creepy-crepy hand on the pulse of the majority of voters who vote out of ANGER and mob-mentality, and he STIRRED THE POT at just the right time.
