Been gone for a bit. Did I miss anything? /sarc Yikes.

Trump at the state dinner: “I believe we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody's even questioning it, but we owe so much of that to you and the footing that you gave us when we started.” The footing the British gave us when we started was the Revolutionary War, for 8 years.

Trump constantly talks about IQs. That must be why he threatened his high school, his colleges, and the College Board with lawsuits if they ever released his grades or SAT scores.

In the 50s there was an advertising campaign for Miss Clairol hair coloring. Women with natural looking blond hair were featured with the question “Does she. . . or doesn't she?” Narcissist Trump loves being the center of attention with people asking “Will he. . . or won’t he?”

Trump’s going to decide on Iran in two weeks. He was going to sign a terrific healthcare plan in two weeks. He was going to announce his position on an abortion pill in two weeks. He was going to give details on Obama wiretapping him in two weeks. Anyone see a pattern here?

Trump’s Apprentice was a flop by 2010, when it was 113th in ratings, but he has a new soap opera. Every day is a cliffhanger - Nobody knows what I’m going to do - and of course he’s the star, backed by central casting types like Pete Hegseth. Another disastrous Trump production.

Today Trump signed an executive order again delaying a TikTok sell-or-ban law from going into effect. The law was passed by Congress in 2024. No president has the authority to ignore Congressional acts. Who in the GOP has the guts to break the news to Trump? Anyone? Anyone?

In times like these we have the least informed, least caring, least inquisitive, least rational, least reliable, least conscientious, least responsible president in history bragging about two beautiful flag poles - “tall, tapered, rust proof” - he’s donating. God save us.

Trump made $1.3 million from his China-made Bible, $2.5 million from sneakers and fragrances, $2.8 million from watches, and a whopping $57 million from his crypto token scam. P. T. Barnum would be envious.

The 2020 election was stolen. Windmills cause cancer. Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. You need an ID to buy a loaf of bread. Cruz’s father was involved in JFK’s assassination. Who spreads such nonsense? Unfortunately for us, the president of the United States.

Steven Cheung claims 250,000 showed up for Trump’s birthday perade. What do you think?

On this Flag Day let’s remember that to Trump it’s just another prop to be exploited.

Later today Pope Leo XIV will speak to the American people by video at Rate Field in Chicago. His Taconess is very strong that the Pope will not steal the thunder from his perade.

General Bone Spurs is getting ready for tomorrow’s review.

Odd, isn’t it, that the notoriously litigious Trump hasn’t sued Noel Casler for routinely claiming Trump’s an Adderall addict? Bet the discovery would be fun.

I keep reading and hearing that Senator Padilla barged in, stormed in, charged at, and lunged at Kristi Noem. No video shows that. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell MAGA is the Party.

Kristi Noem is a cartoon character.

TACO Don strikes again. Trump Always Chickens Out.

DHS claims “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre. . .” DHS secretary Kristi Noem doesn’t believe in political theatre.

This is what happens to a United States senator when he tried to ask questions of DHD Secretary Kristi Noem at a press conference. Welcome to Trump’s Amerika.

Trump told us he’d settle the Ukraine war in one day, he’s made 200 trade deals, migrants were eating pets in Ohio. Now he says he sent the Marines and National Guard to LA because it’s a war zone with widespread, severe violence. More cities to follow. As usual MAGA buys it.

Sending in the Marines. Reopening Alcatraz. Trump as Pope. $5,000 DOGE refund checks. Making Columbus Day great again. Trump’s going to audit Ft. Knox. Renaming Veterans Day. Bright shiny nonsense to distract from his dreadful One Big Beautiful Bill. It’s a disaster.

Trump supporters are naive, ignorant and cowards. They enjoy swimming in the sewer with their “Dear Leader”.

Trump used soldiers at Fort Bragg as props today. Do many of those troopers have any idea what Trump’s doing to the VA? 83,000 layoffs and he’s just getting started.

There are GOP bills to put Trump on Mt. Rushmore and a $250 bill, designate his birthday a public holiday, rename Dulles Airport after him, let him run again for president, rename D.C.’s metro rail system the Trump train and expunge his impeachment. These lickspittles are a cult.

Mass production of the iron lung underway

There is no bottom for Donald Trump. He lives in a sewer.

Kennedy Junior fired the entire expert panel making vaccine recommendations to the CDC. The president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America says, “Unilaterally removing an entire panel of experts is reckless, shortsighted and severely harmful.” That’s what MAGA voted for.

Trump claims arresting California’s governor would be a great thing. Sen Chris Murphy (D-Conn) said after last year’s election: “I’m getting prepared for the worst. Which is, you know, arrest warrants for members of Congress. . .” Or maybe governors. Murphy wasn’t wrong.

Not only is Donald Trump a loser, I’m willing to bet he is a coward.

When Stephen Hawking was asked what his I.Q. was, he replied: “I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.”

Always a tell.

When the Trump-Musk bromance went south: “You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the oval desk. And even with a black eye -- I said, you want a little makeup. We'll get you a little makeup. But he said, no, I don't think so, which is interesting.” No makeup behind the oval desk.

Leon deleted this but it won’t be enough. He’ll need to crawl. As I’ve said before, Musk really, really needs taxpayer dollars.

Hannity’s February interview with Trump and Musk: “And now I see they want you two to start — they want a divorce.  They want you two to start hating each other.” The always undefined “they” got their way, at least momentarily. Musk needs taxpayer dollars.

MAGA is nothing if not ignorant.

DOGE was going to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Then it was $1 trillion. Then it was $160 billion. Now Congress will vote on DOGE savings of a puny $9.4 billion, less than half of 1% of the original pledge. As usual with Trump, it’s a matter of overpromising and underdelivering.

Since inauguration Trump’s averaged posting 17 “truths” a day. How else would we know Biden was replaced with a clone, Canada’s considering Trump’s offer to become a state, and Taylor Swift’s no longer hot? The guy’s obviously barking mad and no one’s doing anything about it.

Trump’s on the warpath against GOP Senator Rand Paul. Maybe someone reminded him of what Paul said in 2016: “Donald Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced windbag. A speck of dirt is way more qualified to be president.” We know through experience Paul was spot on.

‪Trump doesn’t even know what’s in “his” One Big Beautiful Bill. Social Security is still taxed. ‬

Morning Consult examines global favorability by surveying people in 41 countries. Since January, the reputation of the U.S. has dropped like a rock. Think, think, think. What happened in January that made our country suddenly so unpopular? What ever could it have been?

Trump in April Time interview: “I’ve made 200 deals.”You’ve made 200 deals? “100%.” There aren’t 200 countries in the world, but maybe Trump’s cutting great deals with roaming waddles of penguins.

Was Kristi Noem dressed as a train engineer or firefighter?

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States. . .”

Kristi Noem called a presidential candidate in Poland “an absolute train wreck.” Working for Trump makes her an authority on train wrecks, not to mention dumpster fires.

Trump in April Time interview: “I’ve made 200 deals.” You’ve made 200 deals? “100%.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, Mike, but isn’t that called impeachment?

A Stanford political scientist keeps track; in May federal district courts ruled against the Trump administration in 26 of 27 cases. David French notes that since the inauguration Republican -appointed federal district judges have ruled against Trump 72% of the time. Winning!

Sane people don’t post this stuff.

Trump suffers loss after loss as states and cities, universities, law firms and other entities take him to court. If only Congress had the guts to resist his authoritarianism.
