  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I was watching a Canadian political talk show and they brought some clips from early in his first term, him threatening fire and fury to North Korea which is not far off from the language he threatened Iran with.

So it's definitely the same guy pulling the same shtick, maybe with more advanced dementia, but crucially Trump has systematically (with the support from MTG and other MAGA faithful) removed anyone competent enough to prevent him from following through on his impulses. Those impulses that have always been there, and that Democrats and never-Trumper Republicans have warned about.
