Famous people. Wealthy elites. Egotists. Narcissists.

You know the type.

When confronted, they often resort to the same question: โ€œDo you know who I am?โ€ Itโ€™s not a genuine inquiryโ€”itโ€™s a declaration of power. A way to assert control over others.

Iโ€™ve heard it before. A former boss of mineโ€”whom I worked for over six yearsโ€”used that exact line. Internally, I wanted to respond, โ€œNo, and I donโ€™t care.โ€ But I needed the job, so I stayed silent.

Most of the world did know who he was. He had deep connectionsโ€”politicians, high-ranking officials, people in power. He had their personal numbers, could call them whenever he pleased, and they never told him โ€œno.โ€ His needs were met, his demands were catered to, and his authority was unquestioned.

When I hear President Trump speak, I picture that same โ€œI own peopleโ€ mentality. The kind of person who expects obedience, who believes the rules donโ€™t apply to him, and who surrounds himself with those too afraidโ€”or too loyalโ€”to challenge him.

Trump 2.0: A Leader Without Limits

Watching Trump in his second term, making unilateral decisions and bending rules to his will, I see exactly the same behavior. Thereโ€™s no regard for democracy, no respect for the checks and balances meant to prevent any one leader from consolidating power.

The Supreme Court is supposed to serve as a safeguard against this. But when its justices are handpicked by a president and approved by a Senate dominated by his party, their loyalty determines their future. And compliance becomes the unwritten rule.

Trump doesnโ€™t need to ask, โ€œDo you know who I am?โ€ His followers already knowโ€”and they blindly follow. They donโ€™t question his actions, donโ€™t stop to wonder why something feels off. They just want to be part of the movement, no matter the consequences.

The Ridiculous Quest for More Territory

Not long after taking office, Trump announced his desire to acquire Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.

His plan? Either buy Greenland or take it by military force. He also wanted Canada to become the 51st state.

Youโ€™d think the leader of the free world would focus on taking care of the 50 states he already has. But noโ€”heโ€™s more interested in expanding borders than fixing the problems within them.

Canada as a U.S. state? That would be one hell of a large state. And one of the most absurd proposals Iโ€™ve heard in at least a decade.

Rewriting Historyโ€”One Executive Order at a Time

Another priority for Trump? Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Because, of course, thatโ€™s the real issue plaguing our country. Not poverty, not inflation, not homelessnessโ€”but the name of a body of water.

For centuries, maps have labeled it The Bay of Mexicoโ€”dating back to the 1700s, when it was first known as The Great Bay of Mexico. By the late 18th century, “Great” was dropped, but the name remained. Until now.

In January 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14172, officially renaming it the Gulf of America. His followers cheered, calling it a long-overdue decision. Meanwhile, the rest of the country waited for someone to actually lower taxes, address poverty, and fix the economy.

But noโ€”this was the priority.

A President Off His Meds?

I canโ€™t decide if this is the result of medicationโ€”or the lack of it.

Because no rational leader would be making these moves. But then again, this is politics. And this is Trump.

Who Am I?

You donโ€™t know who I am. You donโ€™t know what I believe. But if you keep reading my blog, maybe youโ€™ll start to understand.

And if you leave a comment, Iโ€™ll get to know you, too. Because while the people in power donโ€™t care about our voicesโ€”I do.
