Emperor Manicula's tweet.
This is the President of the United States, tweeting about a talk show host. Everything has gone to shit so quickly and thoroughly that sometimes you have to take a step outside of it, back to the before times, to clear your head... and then you are once again returned to the realization that the fucking President is tweeting about talk show hosts.
Man, this guy is a fucking loser.
The Cheetos didn't write that. That text is off, somehow, and written by a staff member or AI.
Who cares it is on his account
It demonstrates the president's cognitive decline. Something we were very concerned about just one year ago.

For real. I know we all know he's not really doing the work expected of his office already, but the fact he has the time and energy to care about such petty, childish things further confirms it.
You need to be part of the solution, not sit on the sidelines and wait for someone else to fix it. You know its fucked. I know it's fucked. That sentiment needs to resonate from the halls of power like the wrath of thunder from the combined voices of everyone who knows its fucked. Political action needs to become an everyday habit.
I fully agree with your sentiment and I have immeasurably immense respect for Americans that are fighting this. I wish them luck and we all know they'll need it.
I'm not American and the best I can do is fight the inevitable diffusion of this into my own country.
God speed.
