He's visibly unpleasant to women, only wants 'strong, beautiful men' in the army, does the 'double jerkoff' dance to YMCA and now is alleged to have 'blown' Bubba?
Could it be that Trump is trying to hide that he's secretly.... ?

In The World According to Trump (TWAtT), military action against imaginary shopping malls is standard. Totally fine, nothing to see here.

Assume the Senate votes to release the files. It would then go to Trump, who could veto the release. Would he veto that release?
If he doesn't then any potentially damaging material becomes public.
If he did veto the release, then what would that say about him? About his implied culpability?

NY State charges 4%-10.9% income tax and, up to 10.9% capital gains tax. Florida charges 0% for both.
If billi/millionaires were 'so' scared of Mamdani's proposed tax raise on their wealth, they would've decamped to Florida already.
But they haven't. Discuss. 😁

Between Trump demolishing the White House and, the Reps being handed their behinds in elections, the topics that seem to have been 'misplaced' are:
- the Palestine/Israel situation
- the Ukraine/Russia war
- the Epstein files
Don't let them 'gloss' these over with other talking points.

You take SNAP benefits away from 42 million people, at least 24 million being voting age.
You have mid-term elections 6 months away, in Apr 2026.
That shows that either:
- you think you're going to win that election regardless or,
- you don't think there will be an election.

The White House does not belong to Trump, so who gave him "permission" to knock down parts of the East Wing (when he said that wouldn't happen)?
What's the betting that when the re-building's finished there will be a large golden TRUMP logo plastered on the outside of it?

Reports are saying that over 7 million people, at over 2700 sites attended the No Kings day event, quite possibly the biggest single protest seen in the US. Well done everyone!

The survivors of Epstein's crimes have put together their own 'Epstein list', of all the names they can remember.
Wouldn't it be just and fitting if someone 'hacked' into the giant displays at the SuperBowl, and scrolled 'that list' for everyone to see?

Trump was on an escalator that just 'stopped'. He was about 2-3 steps away from the ground. The escalator next to him was working.
So why the performative 'imposition' of walking to the top of the stopped one? Why not reverse two steps and use the next escalator?

It highlights that Trumpo's attitude to issues does seem to be affected by how he feels when he wakes up. The world does not need a "leader" who is so febrile, erratic and inconsistent.
