People are saying that Trump has literally gone insane like Conrad's "Mr. Kurtz" (Heart of Darkness / Apocalypse Now).
“Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn't touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror--of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision--he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath:
The horror! The horror!”
― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
This tweet was put out 1 day BEFORE Trump issued his insane, blasphemous, vicious, crude, rude and malevolent Truth Social post in effect saying that Iran would be returned to the metaphorical Stone Age.

TwitterThere's definitely a novel here.
You say "there's definitely a novel here".
This is a dead give-away.
I suggest you're secretly planning to write the great 21st century novel, War & Peace 2.0, emulating what Tolstoy did over 150 years ago.
You will publish each new chapter as it unfolds as a serial on Fifth Estate Press. When the last of 365 chapters is done, you'll publish it as a full novel book, to the acclaim of critics!

WikipediaTBH Trump seems more like a character fit for Shakespeare than Tolstoy. He's Lear, Macbeth, Richard III, Hamlet - all wrapped into one glorious package. A malignant narcissist for the ages. TDS was not a disorder after all. Hilary was right! 😱
