SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Hippo: I consider myself a cynical hippo. Hippo: But even so I can't understand how anyone in the government of the United States can sit by while the putative head of state is so obviously broken. Hippo: But maybe it's not just Trump that's deeply, irretrievably broken. Maybe it's the United States that's deeply, irretrievably broken.

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

What happened to beloved entertainer Rob Reiner and his wife Michele is somewhere north of horrific. Naturally, since Rob's name isn't Charlie Kirk, Trump took the time to mock Rob and his politics, all but blaming them for his death.

There's been talk going around about the symptoms of dementia -- the lowering of inhibitions leading to things like calling reporters sexist names and telling other reporters they're stupid. Whatever. The root cause doesn't matter as much as Trump's actions, and Trump's actions indicate he is deeply, irretrievably broken inside. He always has been, but it's getting worse, because there's no way for these things to get better.

And it seems that everyone is standing around helplessly waiting for someone else to do something about it.

Maybe it's not just Trump that's deeply, irretrievably broken. Maybe it's the United States that's deeply, irretrievably broken.
