I think at some point it would be more useful to talk about this and other behavior by this administration from a mental health perspective.

They teach me to distrust literally everything that comes from the executive branch.

Trump seems to have an obsession with all things gold, so I guess even that "golden age" could simply be interpreted as "the Trump age".

It's not flagged after an hour, but the downvotes have made the post and your comment already gray.

The AI of Sauron.

But seriously, when most people see that their head of state has no moral standards whatsoever, they'll follow and drop their own standard even lower. It would be a similar situation if a bishop was openly a drunkard or if an army sergeant was a lazy drug addict.

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said this in 1928:

> Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means - to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal - would bring terrible retributions.

Timothy McVeigh used the beginning of this quote as a statement before his conviction, FWIW.. https://archive.is/xineB

You can also not take offense to it either and ignore the "slopaganda". The fact that it triggered you shows that it's "working".

Did you notice any evidence of triggering in the person you are replying to's post? I didn't, but perhaps you are some kind of triggering-detection savant beyond my understanding
