That the president is insane is just one of those things most Americans had to get used to. From 2016 onwards, Donald Trump‘s time in the Oval Office has been marked by near-daily statements that, if made by anyone else, would see the men in white coats arrive to drag them away kicking and screaming.
But it’s safe to say things have come to a head lately. Even by Trump standards, his speech to America’s top brass earlier this week was outright bonkers, painting an apocalyptic vision of a nation in chaos and instructing generals to prepare to use lethal force against their fellow Americans.
