I don’t know how he coped when Trump whispered to him “I think he wants to do a deal for me, as crazy as it sounds”.
Trump is a blithering idiot, but he has to coped with until the guys in white coats catch up with him. When he’s gone there should be swift and severe retribution for his henchmen 
Just as Trump issues threats, the Democrats should warning them that they will reap as they have sowed.
Trump, in my opinion, is graspingly trying to be like his erstwhile mentor, Roy Cohn
I was just thinking earlier that Trump’s behaviour is more like a mafia boss than a president, and of course Cohn introduced him to that world.

He didn’t just say Í think he wants to make a deal’, but ‘I think he wants to make a deal FOR ME’’ as if his mentor wants to do something for his protege. Like help him win the Nobel Peace Prize so he can display it with the rest of the tacky bling on the mantle that he sits in front of in the Oval Ofice.
Yes, it the “for me” that makes him such a dick head. People dying, lives ruined, children abducted, but it’s still all about “me”. Meanwhile in Gaza…
Well, even Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, so he’s in good company.
Brilliant. " In the critical moment he voluntarily did not let weapons speak although he had the power to start a world war." Not actually starting a war is justification for nomination.
Even I’m in with a chance then 
What’s he threatened Norway with if they don’t give him a Nobel peace prize?
I think both Trump and Putin make Machiavelli sound like a cogent philosopher.

Former first term National Security Advisor John Bolton’s house searched for classified material. Check the bathroom. Bolton had become a meddlesome priest and outspoken critic but still refused to vote for Harris .
Bolton had a chance to testify to the Senate of Trump’s misdeeds during the first impeachment (where Trump is alleged to have tried to influence Zelensky’s behavior in an unlawful way!), but felt it more beneficial to leave his thoughts in a forthcoming book.
“No one is above the law. FBI agents on a mission,” FBI director Kash Patel wrote in a post to X while agents were still on the scene.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, quoting that post, added: “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always.”
My US passport is about to expire .Still struggling with whether I want to send those clowns $200 to renew it or just set that money alight….
Judge orders closure of Alligator Alcatraz but not for the reasons we might have thought.
