Trump perfume hides the smell mostly.

Apprentice staffer Noel Casler originally came out about Trump's smell around 2019, and it wasn't perfume. Trump's smell was reignited by a tweet from former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger:

"I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can."

Kinzinger later elaborated on the scent in an interview:

"It’s not good. The best way to describe it...take armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup and put that all in a blender and bottle that as a cologne. That’s kind of that. I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now"

Some recent Editorials from the New York Times:

 

Trump’s Cabinet of Incompetents  (12 July 2025)

 


It is not reassuring, at a time of man-made and natural disasters, that the president is spouting gobbledygook and his maladroit cabinet members are spinning out.

 

It’s a paradox: If you choose your cabinet based on looks, you are likely to end up with a cabinet that makes you look bad. Running government is harder than bloviating on Fox News and assorted podcasts. 

 

And if you demand über-fealty from your advisers, you will end up surrounded by toadies who don’t level with you. ...

 

It turns out, even good-looking dodos are still dodos.

Not helping was DOGE cutting FEMA funding.
FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show: New York Times

Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers, according to a person briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal matters.

The agency laid off the contractors on July 5 after their contracts expired and were not extended, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, who has instituted a new requirement that she personally approve expenses over $100,000, did not renew the contracts until Thursday, five days after the contracts expired. FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

The details on the unanswered calls on July 6, which have not been previously reported, come as FEMA faces intense scrutiny over its response to the floods in Texas that have killed more than 120 people. The agency, which President Trump has called for eliminating, has been slow to activate certain teams that coordinate response and search-and-rescue efforts.
...
“Put yourself in the shoes of a survivor: You’ve lost everything, you’re trying to find out what’s insured and what’s not, and you’re navigating multiple aid programs,” Mr. Schlegelmilch said. “One of the most important services in disaster recovery is being able to call someone and walk through these processes and paperwork.”

I'm wondering if next on Trump and DOGE's agenda: melt down all fire extinguishers, and replacing them with statues.

Trump: “Because the past is always at risk of being forgotten, monuments will always be needed to honor those who came before… These statues are silent teachers in solid form of stone and metal."

“Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities… I pledge that we will build, rebuild, and restore monuments to American heroes.”

Trump and statues, you just know he wants giant statues of himself everywhere.

 

I'm sure there is a President on Mt Rushmore that does not deserve to be there.
Maybe 4 faces of Trump is more appropriate.

 

Putin maybe pulling Trumps chain ?
I see Russian propaganda mouthpieces in USA are going full tilt on Epstein. 
Maybe a warning from 'you know who' ?
Though equally its great content to farm for advertising likes, Patrion, buy me a coffee etc.

 

When you think most of this information pointers to more known before and during his last term. 
That Epstein was for 15Y Trumps bestie, and they spent a lot of time together, hunting young things.
Many other things about tapes and such dates back years.

 

Did he predate Pokemon with 'Gotta Grab Them All' ? 

 

Suddenly its 'who knew before today', well you knew when you endorsed Trump last year !

Nah, nothing like that. The Americans already knew he was a serial cheating p***y grabbing adjudicated rapist & 34-count convicted criminal. They knew he paid porn stars for sex, they knew he had been bankrupted and convicted of fraud multiple times. They knew he hung with Epstein, and they knew he knew Epstein was a paedo. And they elected him anyway. And the judge who presided over his criminal conviction let him off with no punishment, and the Supreme Court said he can essentially do whatever he wants as long as he calls it official business.

 

Nothing in the Epstein files or that Putin has on him means jack.

 

The only thing Putin has over him is the money tap, by ensuring that he buys into all the grifts.

I find this article profoundly disturbing ...

 

The Washington Post - How the Trump shooting supercharged beliefs in a divine right of MAGA  (unlocked link)

 

13 July 2025

 


A year’s passage has clarified how the assassination attempt was a turning point for the religious dimension to Trump’s movement, leading to his claim at his second inauguration to a divine mandate: “I was saved by God to Make America Great Again.”

 

Trump has long claimed that God was on his movement’s side, and attendees at Trump rallies have routinely described the events in spiritual terms.

 

But after the assassination attempt, many of his followers - and most notably Trump himself - more explicitly cast him as a divine instrument. ...

 

Is there no limit to human stupidity?  Trump's recent re-election suggests that there is not.   😟

 

What sort of god would chose Trump as his/her divine instrument?

To steal a line from someone (I don't remember who, but it wasn't my original idea): if God has chosen Trump to do His work in America, it can only be because He ran out of locusts.

If the most powerful nation in the world became Glorivale. 

 

Actually the last locust plagues in North America, and their disappearance is an interesting puzzle. 

 

Just on the radio I heard a snippet promoting expansion of private medical care and downsizing public health would solve all our problems. 
America is slowly coming to us.

 

Interestingly Canada does not allow companies to make political donations let alone foreign companies.
Maybe that's why they are the great evil ?

The Daily Mail - Donald Trump bizarrely gatecrashes Chelsea's Club World Cup trophy lift 

 

14 July 2025

 


Chelsea hero Cole Palmer was left bemused as Donald Trump bizarrely gatecrashed the Blues' Club World Cup trophy lift. ...

 

Trump's crowning moment came after the final whistle when he took centre stage as the trophy was given to Chelsea.

 

It was anticipated that the Commander-in-Chief would step aside after giving the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James - as is customary.

 

However, to the bewilderment of many Chelsea players, Trump remained on stage for the entire trophy lift. ...

 

 

Following presentation of the trophy, Trump was asked to leave the stage but bizarrely chose to stay put. 

 

Dementia or Narcissism ... or both?  😐
