- Trump
has unleashed a torrent of norm-puncturing executive orders —
declaring newly forbidden words, renaming a body of water (Gulf of
Mexico), making assertions that seemingly mean their polar opposite,
... Trump uses language as a weapon of manipulation, obfuscation
and oppression. e.g. "Truth" Social. Calling the violent
rioters at the January 6 insurrection, "patriots" with "love in
their hearts". Destroying books. Destroying USA's health and research
infrastructure (CDC, vaccines, climate, etc.). The disastrous DOGEy
(Department of Government Efficiency) which destroyed a lot of the

- Opinion | Trump Isn’t Interested in Fighting a New Cold War. He Wants a New Civilizational War. - The New York Times - 2025-12-11
- The strategy paper (National Security Strategy)
warns, unless our European allies elect more “patriotic” nationalist
parties, committed to stemming immigration, Europe will face
“civilizational erasure.”
- One front for USA's
third civil war, is white, predominantly Christian Americans resisting
the emergence of the minority-dominated America that is now baked into
our future sometime in the 2040s, driven by lower birthrates among
white Americans and growth in Hispanic, Asian and multiracial American
populations.
- Trump is interested in fighting the
civilizational war over what is the American “home” and what is the
European “home,” with an emphasis on race and Christian-Judeo faith —
and who is an ally in that war and who is not.
- Trump’s
devotees see Putin as more of a defender of white Christian nationalism
and traditional values than the nations of the European Union.

- Blame Canada - by Timothy Snyder - Thinking about...
- This is the magic of the big lie, as Hitler explained in Mein Kampf. Tell a lie so big, advised Hitler, that people will not believe that you would deceive them on such a scale.
- In
1939, Hitler and his propagandists piled up the fictions about Poland.
They pretended that Poland did not really exist as a state, but also
that Poland was the aggressor and had started the war. Compare this to
Trump's aggressive attitude against Ukraine and Canada.
- Canada was not even mentioned
in the official 2024 National Drug Threat Assesment of the Drug
Enforcement Administration. As the Canadians are often too polite to
point out, the real problem at the border is the illegal smuggling of American guns into Canada.

They’re extremely manipulative, lie constantly and are adept at
cultivating those willing to do their bidding. Always planning. Always
plotting. Always 10 steps ahead. Leaving a wake of destruction.

rule of law and sees everything through the lens of his own self
interest.

- Solipsism - Wikipedia
- As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. Only the existence of one’s thoughts is known for certain.
Egotism - Wikipedia
- Egotist has an overwhelming sense of the centrality of the "me" regarding their personal qualities.
Egotists have a strong tendency to talk about themselves in a
self-promoting fashion, and they may well be arrogant and boastful with
a grandiose sense of their own importance. Their inability to recognise
the accomplishments of others leaves them profoundly self-promoting;
while sensitivity to criticism may lead, on the egotist's part, to
narcissistic rage at a sense of insult.
- "Malignant
narcissism is a psychological syndrome comprising a mix of narcissism,
antisocial behavior, sadism and a paranoid outlook on life.
Some signs include: a sense of entitlement; a significant need for
attention, admiration and recognition; an inflated sense of
self-importance; a tendency to take advantage of others or exploit
people for personal gain; arrogant or conceited behavior and attitudes;
a tendency to react angrily when others don’t seem to regard them with
the admiration they need and feel they deserve; a pattern of
irresponsible, arrogant or disrespectful behavior; disdain for
authority and social norms, shown by continued illegal or law-breaking
behavior; a pattern of deceit; little or no remorse for harmful or
illegal actions; and a generally hostile, irritable, aggressive,
restless or agitated mood.
Does that sound like anyone we know?"

Cohn's three rules for winning — always attack, deny everything, and
never admit defeat — remain core tenets of Trump's political playbook.

“shame” from the political vocabulary.
- Deflect
