As the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2019, people across the world wished others a “Happy New Year,” a custom that will likely continue through the end of the month. For normal people who adhere to the guidelines that govern human social interactions, this particular convention is essentially second nature, with even the most ill-mannered, socially awkward individuals throwing out a “HNY” to friends, family, and colleagues. And then you have Donald Trump, who kicked off 2019 like this:

Even for the deeply unbalanced 45th president of the United States, who’s never been accused of excessive decorum, Tuesday morning’s all-caps tweet felt particularly certifiable given that the country is in the midst of a government shutdown of his own making, and that the final days of 2018 included the resignation of the last remaining adult in the Trump administration, an eight-year-old migrant child dying in U.S. custody (a tragedy that Trump blamed on Democrats); an abrupt decision to pull out of Syria that was cheered only by Vladimir Putin; a situation wherein the federal government is suggesting workers ask their landlords if they can “trade services” for rent; and literal pileups of human shit. For his part, the president spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s previewing the sort of dystopian hell the country can expect now that he apparently believes he has nothing to lose, which will seemingly include:

More easily debunked lies about trade deals and other such matters relevant to the U.S. economy:

Deranged screeching about “Presidential Harassment”:

Blaming the deaths of migrant children on everyone but his own administration:

Blaming Democrats for things he engineered with his own two hands:

Disturbed, third-person references to his own policies:

Delusional, guy-in-a-room-connecting-photos-on-a-corkboard-with-pieces-of-string claims that Mexico is paying for the wall:

Pats on the back for right-wing nationalists:

Praise for murderous dictators:

A never-ending stream of trash talk for anyone he perceives as a threat, with Senator Elizabeth Warren being the lucky recipient of one of his creepiest jabs to date:

President Donald Trump expressed excitement Monday at the prospect of running for president next year against Sen. Elizabeth Warren but told a Fox News interviewer that “you would have to ask her psychiatrist” if the Massachusetts Democrat believes she can beat him.

In other words, this year will be a rerun of 2018—but so, so much worse.
