Lucian K Truscott IV

This country elected a sex-criminal as president who appointed a sexual abuser to be in charge of the U.S. military. They started a war that they cannot win. We are getting exactly what our fellow Americans in the Republican Party voted for. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-strait-o…

Trump and Hegseth can’t stop this war. They love it too much. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/war-is-break…

The whole world is watching our demented and insane president brag over and over that he has been officially tested three times by real doctors, and he passed because he can tell the difference between a bear and a giraffe. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/golf-cheater…

Trump will probably order new bombing so he can feel better for a while, and then he’ll go back to whining on Truth Social about how mean Jimmy Kimmel is to him on late night TV. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/war-is-hell-…

Slavery was ended 161 years ago, but white supremacy is alive and well in the Supreme Court of the United States and in the Republican Party which put six of its members on its bench. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/go-sit-down-…

From Axios tonight: Trump is seriously considering resuming major combat operations either to try to break the logjam in negotiations or to deliver a final blow before ending the war. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-fears-i-…

He just said that Iran’s, or Ukraine’s, or somebody’s anti-aircraft apparatus “will be” knocked out in the first 15 minutes. He’s telling secrets right there in the Oval Office. You read it here first: Iran will be bombed again, and soon. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-has-id…

I don’t know what’s going to happen to this country with this unstable, disturbed man as president until 2029. My head hurts. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/my-head-hurts

One day we’ll wake up from this bad dream, and we’ll look around and see if there’s anything left. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/we-go-to-sle…

It is notable, by the way, that nearly everyone in the line of succession to the presidency was at the dinner tonight, including Vance and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, all of them in the same room at the same time. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/white-house-…

Trump has a blowout in the midterms on his mind, and he doesn’t want to be thinking about a drunk Kash Patel. So bye-bye, 99 beers guy. I’m sure they’ll save a place for you at the bar in the Poodle Room. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/say-bye-bye-…

They should change the name of the White House Correspondents Association to the “Please, sir, may I have another” club and issue members little paddle-shaped pins they can wear on their lapels and dresses. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-night-ev…

I guess it’s luck on our part that Donald Trump is such an incompetent fool that we have lost the war with Iran, because it’s likely that no more of our people will be killed, and no more Iranian civilians will die. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/i-just-want-…

With everyone in Trump’s administration taking example from the biggest no-nothing of them all, it isn’t just know-nothing-ism that’s on the march. It’s gin-soaked-know-nothing-ism, and Trump himself doesn’t even have alcohol abuse as an excuse. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/whatever-hap…

Trump will squeak and moan and whine and brag on Truth Social that he “won” in Iran. Iran will know the truth, and they will make sure that the whole world knows what a pitiful helpless crumbling lying fool is Donald Trump. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/irans-strate…

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Hegseth tries to re-institute mandatory chapel attendance at West Point and the other Academies. The virus of religious prejudice is like measles, the most transmissible disease there is. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-west-poi…

I said, that’s bullshit, Dad. But it wasn’t. When I got in the Army, I knew more than any 22-year-old Second Lieutenant should know about men and power and the army. That knowledge and what I did with it would end my career almost exactly one year later. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-west-poi…

In my army personnel file was a letter on White House stationery from Brigadier General Alexander Haig. It was a warning that this officer, Truscott, was a known radical who was disloyal to the army and was suspected of being a Communist. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-west-poi…

Haig took his feet off his desk and slapped a little stack of papers, saying they were the requests we had handed in to the finance department. Glaring at me, he said, I know what you’re up to. This is a way to go after mandatory chapel, isn’t it? luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-west-poi…
