Nothing about this quote about a “ballroom” suggests “peaceful transfer of power.”

This is an important pre-emptive strike against the Looking-forward-not-back philosophy that will be suggested against any Democrat who might be elected in 2028. I also congratulate Paul for proper use of the word "jagoffs." Well done. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Here's this very same guy back in early April, nearly 9 months ago, talking about how Trump's tariffs were going to revitalize the Rust Belt.

2025 isn’t quite over yet, so you still have time if you hope to win the Absolutely Most Absurd Editorial of the Year.

But you’ll have to beat this banger, and good luck with that.

“Did the military do that?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I suspect he just blew a deniable CIA covert op, because he’s a big dummy.
Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?

TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

Q: Does it worry you?

TRUMP: No. Nothing worries me.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him.

Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits.

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.
