Trump this.

I think this is very true.

And all his bluster after leaving the G7 to avoid Zelensky about somehow being in charge of an operation
in Iran was all just theatre...just puffing his wattle out to look fearsome when in reality it just made him look more unhinged and irrelevant than ever.

He knows he can't make a deal with Iran over the table.

And if he attacks he will lose support from a large perventage of the America First MAGA crowd who hate Jews as much as they hate Muslims and Mexicans.

Well, we may now know why Trump had to leave the G7 and rush back to Washington. He had an Ibsen "Master Builder" flagpole to erect.

I really don't understand that flagpole being installed.

 

[rareboy]

Like he done his entire life, Trump just takes whatever others have done and slaps his name on it.

But there is increasing outspoken rebuttals to his constant claims of solving everything.

And it is really WEIRD. Because he doesn't even need his MAGAt low info base any more. But like every delusional sociopath
he can't help himself...the lies are reflexive and self-comforting.

It is for this -

You don't see the imagery of a 79 year old doddering failed businessman paying people to erect tall things on the grass in front of the White House on his behalf?

To put this into perspective, Trump spent nearly an hour rambling about on the White House lawn. In any other context, someone would have called the nearest long term care facility to ask if one of the patients was missing. In the video below, around the 23 min mark he starts giving remarks that sounds like a dementia training film for first year psych residents.

Sorry, I just can't listen to that stuff. Hopefully that speaks for my mental clarity.

Boy, is he out of touch.

Boy, is he out of touch.

Says the guy whose first calendar event is typically at 11AM every day. And who spends most weekends playing golf.


He's trying to change the subject again. There were a bunch of reports released this week talking about how Trump's tariffs are damaging the economy and how CEOs are pessimistic about the economic outlook.

And of course he posted that today, Juneteenth. I think he wants to get rid of this holiday but is stuck with it. But he can't help saying something.

 

[rareboy]

It definitely was a direct jab at Juneteenth.

Of course his intention is to hand out money as personal favours to Red states in exchange for ?????

It is no fun if he can't pretend he is a benevolent King dispensing his personal grace.
