The NY Times - Opinion - Burnin’ Down the House [unlocked link]
25 Oct 2025 [extracts]
The president has the kind of blot-out-the-sun narcissism that spurs him to do whatever it takes to keep all eyes on him. He ignores the law, procedures, consequences.
It’s a slam-dance presidency that delights in transgressing and provoking.
Build a $300 million, 90,000-square-foot gilt ballroom - which will overshadow the central edifice - while the government is shut and people have been thrown out of work; plaster tacky gold all over the Oval; sue everyone willy-nilly; put foes through legal torture; send troops to American cities; shrug off due process and blow alleged drug runners out of the water. ...
Trump once thought nothing of aiming to overthrow the government he ran. Now he thinks nothing of threatening to sue the government he runs if he isn’t allowed to pay himself a quarter-billion dollars.
“We the People” is quaint. Now we are governed by the whims of one person.

re the Reagan video above (no, it was not generated by AI, but yes it was edited - no doubt to fit into a commercial's 30/60/90 second timeslot):

The NY Times - Trump, Long Erratic on the World Stage, Reaches a New Level (unlocked link)
26 Oct 2025
More than nine months into his second term, the only thing predictable about Mr. Trump’s handling of global affairs is that it will be an unpredictable mix of instinct, grievance and ego.
And there is little evidence that his tantrums, swerves and reversals are strategic and thought-out, as his supporters sometimes insist, rather than the products of impulsivity, mood and circumstance. ...
He has so whipsawed on Ukraine that European officials have repeatedly raced to Washington to understand whether Mr. Trump is siding with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia or with Ukraine. ...
“The driving force of this roller coaster", said Ivo Daalder, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, “is the president’s desire to be seen as the one who ends the war. He doesn’t care how it ends, or with what consequences. Only that it ends and supports his claim to a Nobel Peace Prize.”
