*** “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.” [Plato]
1] On Tuesday, September 23, 2025 – “our” president, one Donald John Trump, illustrated fro the entire world that America is being run by fools, incompetents, ideologues, and know-nothings. In a “meandering” 56 minute rant, “Trump lectured the United Nations and other countries about how they are failing and aired a list of grievances….The White House had billed Trump’s address..as a chance for the president to lay out his vision for how the U.S. should wield its power abroad.”
“Trump undermined the scientific consensus on climate change, saying it was “made by stupid people”…called climate change the “greatest con job’ perpetrated on the world and claimed environmentalists are out to eliminate America’s cows.” On religion, Trump “falsely claimed that Muslim leaders in the West are planning to institute sharia law, while proclaiming Christianity to be the “most persecuted religion on the planet.”……
Trump ‘personally insulted the Muslim mayor of London. he bashed allies and foes around the world. He questioned whether the United Nations should even exist.” [“At the U.N., Trump slams strike near and far”; Luke Broadwater; New York Times; 9/24/25]

2] On Monday, September 22, 2025, Trump warmed up for his early Halloween scarefest by attacking the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, “suggesting a connection between the widely used medication and autism…”Fight like hell not to take it.” [“Here’s what experts say about Tylenol”; Niha Masih, Ariana Eunjung Cha; Washington Post; 9/24/25]
3] On Wednesday, “The World Health Organization has joined the international pushback against the Trump administration’s warnings that acetaminophen use during pregnancy leads to autism, saying Wednesday there is ‘no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link.”
“Public health leaders and organizations around the world have been sounding off since President Donald Trump called Monday to limit use of acetaminophen – the active ingredient in Tylenol and more than 600 other medications.”…
“The move is a sharp departure from the accepted guidance on a medication that many major medical associations have deemed safe..” [WHO rejects Tylenol warnings”; Vivian Ho, Karla Adam; Washington Post; 9/25/25]
***. “The wise man takes pleasure in what is honorable, but the fool is not vexed by shamefulness.” [ Plutarch ]
[A note of caution and early warning: there are three more Halloweens before January 20, 2029. Given the scary, spook-filled track record of the Trump DICTATORSHIP, it appears there will be many more. “TRICKS” performed by the CLOWNS in “your” government, but – unless YOU are a billionaire – not many, if any. “TREATS.” ]
