One I can't say is an "ick" but warrants a closer look: His unsteadiness on his feet. He seems to grab on to things to steady himself, from Putin's arm on the "red carpet" as he is about to climb a few steps to grabbing Melania's arm from behind as he was getting off a plane. Balance is a problem for a lot of seniors.
Of course, this all pales by comparison to his actions, especially his militarization of our cities and monopolizing the use of our courts to pursue personal vendettas against those he believes wronged him.
He's even made a deal with Uganda to take in people he deports who can't go back to their own countries. The State Department in its 2024 Report on Uganda's Human Rights record pulled no punches:
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killings; disappearances; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; arbitrary arrest or detention; transnational repression against individuals in another country; unlawful recruitment or use of children in armed conflict by nonstate armed groups; serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, and censorship; and significant presence of any of the worst forms of child labor.
The government did not take credible steps or action to identify and punish officials who committed human rights abuses.
Uganda, for its part, says it won't take in deportees with criminal records.
A judge today put the skids on sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia there. It's just a temporary reprieve, however.
This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
