def: Megalomaniacal: adjective; an obsessive, delusional craving for absolute power and an inflated sense of one's own delusionally extreme obsession with power, grandiosity, self-importance, omnipotence, and wealth.
Donald Trump is the milk-carton textbook posterboy megalomaniac.
Jon Stewart has consistently viewed Donald Trump through a critical, satirical lens, framing him as a narcissistic and authoritarian figure rather than a traditional politician. Across his returns to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Stewart primarily focuses his critique on the following core themes.
That's a text-book summary. In real terms:
Jon Stewart is one of the most brave Americans. He is standing at the feet of a monster criminal calling out his crimes. His show is owned and controlled by Paramount-Skydance Media, owned by David Ellison and his father, billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, a Trump supporter.
If you have ever been in position where you confront your superiors on the job you know that feeling you get in your gut knowing you will probably be out of a job. Stewart is a wealthy man, he can risk a few lost paychecks. Stewart also knows that there are so many people on his side he would move on to another network that is not a slave to a "megalomaniacal man-baby".
FACTS: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is a prominent supporter of Donald Trump. The billionaire has cultivated a close friendship with the President, which includes hosting a 2020 fundraiser and contributing approximately $45 million to a political nonprofit supporting Trump's 2024 campaign.
QUESTION: why is Larry Ellison a trump supporter?
ANSWER: "Larry Ellison supports Donald Trump primarily due to the massive business benefits, political influence, and government contracts his companies receive in return. Ellison’s backing of Trump—including a quiet $45 million donation—has established him as a key technology and AI ally in Trump's circle."
FACT: Ellison’s company, Oracle, is heavily involved in Trump’s massive $500 billion "Stargate" artificial intelligence project and supplies computing power for OpenAI.
FACT: Ellison gained significant control over tech and media as the primary U.S. data partner for TikTok. Additionally, the Trump administration cleared the takeover of Paramount by Ellison's son, David, bolstering the family's media empire.
FACT: Ellison has positioned himself as an indispensable advisor to Trump. The massive mutual benefit between his corporate empire and Trump's administration has led some insiders to refer to him as the "shadow president".
As a common working middle class American I can tell you beyond words WE ARE TIRED OF TRUMP!
We're tired of watching the news every night becoming a daily brief of what this maniac has done during the day. We're tired of seeing cities being bombed, boats being blownup, immigrants have come to the "land of the free" who work hard, have families gunned down by morons with ICE badges, guns and no brains.
We're tired of hearing about billionaires like Larry Ellison getting fabulously richer while we drain our checking accounts paying for food and fuel. We're tired of watching Republicans bend over and accept their role as Trump peasants. We're tired of hearing Trump and Ivanka and Jarad and Junior and Eric and a small group of loyalists "somehow" knew to invest in certain stocks, reaping billions, then selling "somehow" knowing that Trump was going to make an announcement that created the "sometime" perfect time for those people to buy or sell.
We're tired of hearing a sick rich SOB tell us "it's great again" while we wake in the night and worry.
Jon, love it. But, you do need to work harder on your pen spinning skills.
