The first few months of Donald Trump's second-term presidency included attempts to systematically dismantle government agencies and plunder their data; state-sponsored renditions of immigration; blatant corruption; and bold flat loss of law and courts. The New York Times The editorial board summed up this: “Since the demise of Reconstruction, the first 100 days of Trump’s second term have caused more damage to American democracy than anything else.”

But let us not forget the stupidity of this semester, either. Now we live in a world of imitation, and the pixels of reality seem to be eavesdropping and flickering. Consider this week’s Trump’s state-owned visit to Saudi Arabia, published by foreign journalist Olga Nesterova: “As part of the red carpet treatment, Saudi officials have arranged a fully operational Mobile McDonald unit to accompany President Trump during his stay.” Sceptical news consumers may tend to stay on the phrase for a while. Fully running mobile McDonald's unittheir brains stayed to make these words mean. (The fatigue of the hamburger dog, maybe? Ronald McDonald pulls the Marlboro Red, an assault rifle leans on his back, unable to operate the happy powdered command center/ball pit is the death star made of beef? Thankfully, fortunately, one’s idea doesn’t require a stroll, as Nesterova’s video is a video of the full-operated debris (Nesterova), a fully-running mobile unit (Forments McDonald Encomplementary Mobiled nime). The 18-wheeler looks like a suburban fast food restaurant with modern wood siding and golden arches.

The truck was reportedly parked near the state-visited “media oasis” and perhaps a proposal for journalists covering the president. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Trump himself visited the unit. But the president's love for McDonald's is no secret.

It is worth highlighting that all of this is embarrassing. It is an act of Hamburg diplomacy that multiple news media, including Fox News, framed the truck. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has fallen into an elderly man, ostensibly to ensure that the slender beef pie will never stay away from his lips. As with everything about Trump, it's hard to know exactly what to believe. The burger units are stylized, but mostly normal national vision infrastructure, or is Bob designed to please the president of the fast food restaurant? In a world where leaders seem eager to bend their knees into every impulse of Trump, even the truly absurd seems reasonable. Just all these facts are not trying. When stringed together, the word Fully running mobile McDonald's unit Overwhelmed my synapses; the chisel chiseled in English could not have more interesting or clumsy phrases.

I don't really like the idea that this absurdity is a "distraction" to many of the administration's crises, as many pseudo-events of the Trump era are called once so. Instead, Fommu's coverage is a side effect of wild incompetence and corruption in the 47th presidency. Trump’s total disregard for law and expertise, and his unique shamelessness, both of which create fertile soil for no one. Fast food tankers only make sense for the explosive power of annex Greenland or turning Canada into a state of explosive power, only with Trump’s executive order renamed to the Gulf of Mexico under a row of rule. It keeps going. Fox News host Pete Hegseth, whom he hired, reportedly hopes to be in the Pentagon's powder room (Hegseth denied it). This week, Trump appointed his former defense attorney as acting director of the Congress from his bustling trial.

Recently, Trump announced a cryptocurrency fundraising dinner where wealthy people who hope to court with the president (including foreigners) can buy his meme coins for a literal seat on the table. In early May, crypto investment firm World Free Finance (Trump and Intimacy) announced that a state-backed Emilati company would use Trump-affiliated digital coins to help reach a $2 billion investment agreement in Abu Dhabi. Almost every detail announced by World Free Finance co-founder Zach Witkoff was developed in a conference panel with Mr. Trump’s second son, which contained conflicts of interest," era Report. Similarly, earlier this month, the owner of a Texas freight company announced that it would buy $20 million worth of Trump meme coins, an "effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the United States."

Then, a gift was given to Trump from the $400 million super-luxury Boeing 747-8 giant jet from the Qatar royal family, and the administration seemed ready to accept it as a replacement for Air Force One. (The plane is said to be transferred to the Presidential Library when the president is ready to leave his post.) It's idle, but Trump calls it a "very open and transparent deal." As my colleague David Graham recently wrote: "One of his secrets of impunity so far is that instead of trying to hide his misconduct - that's what amateurs like Nixon and Harding do - he calculated that if he doesn't pretend, he could leave with them."

But Trump's fanaticism is more than just a cover for his corruption. Title open this fortress It argues that Trump's "baseless, unconstitutional greed is transforming the United States." The verb selection here is particularly appropriate. Instead of destroying institutions like they did, Trump shaped institutions with his possible gilded image of Alibaba.

Therefore, the message sent by his government has also been distorted. We got the same words: the National Security Advisor accidentally sent a war plan to my boss; the government's deputy agent, Doge, was named after the shiba inu meme and composed of a 19-year-old man who was nicknamed "Big Ball". We asked Elon Musk to do Tesla’s information TV on the White House lawn, and the president said high above the car’s center console: “Everything is a computer!”

Those who try to play with the government also look ridiculous. Dais or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick honed behind Trump’s Tech Titans by arguing that Europeans “had hated our beef because our beef was beautiful and their beef was weak, defending Trump’s disastrous tariff plan. If you’re Saudi Arabia, you can embrace this dynamic by deploying tactical burger units for leaders of the free world.

The result of a singular news stability is that when a person does not consider systems and institutions outside of his own interests, he will be responsible for the systems and institutions. Bad things happen when these systems break down under pressure of abuse, neglect, or general incompetence. Some of these things are straightforwardly bad: they can be illegal, terrible, cruel. If only political leaders can enforce some sense of responsibility, others will be scandals worthy of resignation. But the others are just weird mutations.

In this way, Trump's coldness, indifference and corruption have changed the texture of our common reality. They dragged us all into His creative world. A healthy system does not produce fully running mobile McDonald's units. Such units are reserved for the stupidest timetable, which is the timetable we currently live in.
