If Mn is on The Twotter, I’ll bet he gets all Trump propaganda.

Yes, following Iranian supporters on The Twotter is the way to go. Yep, that's the ticket.

Meanwhile, Trunp has successfully distracted you.

Again, you apparently do not know the definition of the word “follow.” Either Webster’s or Twitter’s.

Attacking the source of an argument rather than the argument itself is generally a logical fallacy known as ad hominem (against the person) or the genetic fallacy. It occurs when someone ignores the substance of a claim and instead attacks the character, motive, or background of the person making it.

Key Aspects of Source-Attacking Fallacies:

*Ad Hominem (Abusive): A direct attack on a person's character, appearance, or personality to undermine their argument (e.g., "You're too young to understand this").

*Circumstantial Ad Hominem: Attacking a person's circumstances, such as their job, affiliations, or potential conflicts of interest, instead of their argument.

*Genetic Fallacy: Dismissing an argument based solely on its origin or source rather than its content.

*When It Is NOT a Fallacy: Criticizing a source is valid if the source's credibility, honesty, or expertise is directly relevant to the argument's veracity (e.g., questioning a witness's reliability in court).

Why It Is a Fallacy:
Attacking the source is a diversionary tactic used to avoid engaging with evidence. A person with poor character can still make a valid argument, and a reliable person can be wrong.

It’s all part of Three Card MNte’s strategery.

As of April 2026, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian infrastructure have damaged over 120 historic sites, including UNESCO World Heritage spots, with damage from debris, shockwaves, and direct hits. Key sites damaged include Tehran's Golestan Palace, the Chehel Sotoun Palace in Isfahan, and the ancient Masjed-e Jame mosque

That sounds like great public relations. Way to win friends and influence people. Reagan would be proud of Trump.

Are you under the impression I can only see tweets from accounts I “follow?” For the record, I “follow” almost 2,400 accounts. I can assure you I don’t know what all of them are “up to” exactly.

What about the part about the psychologist? Which was the important part.
It's not surprising that some guy pushing Iran might use this post from this psychologist.
You're not supposed to see the connection.

John D. Gartner has faced significant criticism from within the mental health profession, ethicists, and political observers for his high-profile activism through Duty to Warn, particularly his public characterizations of Donald Trump as suffering from malignant narcissism (a mix of narcissism, antisocial/psychopathic traits, paranoia, and sadism) and, more recently, signs of cognitive decline or dementia based on public appearances, speech patterns, and behavior.

Artificial intelligence mode

John D. Gartner is a psychologist and former part-time assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School who has frequently commented on Donald Trump’s mental health. As of early 2026, he remains a prominent critic, claiming that President Trump is exhibiting signs of accelerating cognitive decline and malignant narcissism.

Key Assessments & Activism

*Malignant Narcissism: Gartner describes Trump as a "malignant narcissist," a severe personality disorder characterized by narcissism, psychopathy, paranoia, and sadism.

*Dementia Claims: Since 2024, Gartner has argued that Trump shows "gross signs of dementia" rather than normal aging. He cites specific speech patterns, such as phonemic paraphasia (starting a word but finishing it with nonsense sounds), as clinical evidence.

*"Duty to Warn": Gartner founded the organization Duty to Warn, which argues that mental health professionals have an ethical obligation to alert the public when a leader's mental state poses a danger to the nation.

*"Shrinking Trump" Podcast: Along with psychologist Harry Segal, Gartner co-hosted this podcast for 70 episodes to analyze Trump’s psyche. The series concluded in October 2025, though Gartner continues to give interviews on the subject.

Publications
Gartner has authored and contributed to several books focused on these assessments:

*The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: A collection of essays by 27 mental health experts (2017).

*Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump.

Controversy

Gartner’s work is controversial within the medical community because it often bypasses the Goldwater Rule, an ethical principle that discourages psychiatrists from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined. Critics, such as psychiatrist Allen Frances, argue that labeling Trump as "mentally ill" can stigmatize the illness and that his fitness should be addressed through political activism rather than psychology.

“You’re not supposed to see the connection.”

Ironic statement coming from a guy who apparently can’t tell that Trump is a textbook mentally ill narcissist.

Who is in clear cognitive decline. You know all these things. You don’t care though, because deep down you’re a sadist, and an intellectually dishonest person. These are features for you, not bugs.
