We have a Mad King.

He's literally demented... no impulse control, he's basically not capable of being rational.

He's a dying narcissist... extremely petty and vain.

He is also a corrupt mob boss, he makes Al Capone look like an underachiever.

He fills every government position he can with family members and sycophants who follow and worship him like a cult leader, and they all routinely flout and ignore any laws that impede them from doing what they want, and because they very often are the people in charge of enforcing the law... on laws they themselves are breaking... they simply don't.

He's also a child rapist and murderer, and Israel has proof of this they can release, so, he does what they want.

If you are at all familiar with American history... taken together, these are significantly worse characteristics than the Mad King George III we literally revolted against to form the country.
