Trump thinks he is the center of the World, or Universe.

 

To see Putin, Xie, Jong-Un, Modi having a great old time together.
--- Without Him --- !!!

 

All giving honor to Xie 
Did Xie ever respond to Trump begging for a phone call?
( Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Greatest Dictator of All ? )

 

Many other nations will be there as well. 

 

In the meantime, his visitor list is empty, as no one wants to go kiss the ring.
Bringing expensive gifts of Gold and Aeroplanes, to be humiliated. 

 

Trump sees himself as the 'mountain' everyone must visit, honor all the time.
He even wanted to host the Taliban.

Trump orders full military honors burial for Ashli Babbitt killed by police protection while trying to enter the capitol building chamber during the Jan 6 attempt to prevent Trump's election loss:

MSNBC MaddowBlog: It was a few months ago when Donald Trump’s Justice Department reached a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was fatally shot by a police officer during the attack on the U.S. Capitol. As part of the agreement, the Republican administration announced plans to give roughly $5 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Babbitt’s relatives. While this was impossible to defend given the weakness of the case — Thomas Manger, the outgoing chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, condemned the payment in no uncertain terms — it apparently was just part of a larger effort

Apparently a good chunk of it will go to the conservative legal foundation who acted on behalf of Babbit's estate. There is no doubt the court case was going to be embarrassing for Trump and that's the real reason for the payout. A funeral with full military honors is obviously Trump's idea.

Two more Republican House members must join all Democrats to force Epstein files vote: AP News

Four Republicans — three of them women — have defied House GOP leadership and the White House in an effort to force a vote on a bill that would require the Justice Department to release all the information in the so-called Epstein files, with the exception of the victims’ personal information. Two more Republicans will need to defect from party leadership and join every House Democrat to force the vote.

Survivors and accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, gathered on the Capitol lawn along with hundreds of supporters to demand the Trump administration provide transparency and accountability for what they endured as teenagers.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to quash the effort by putting forward his own resolution and arguing that a concurrent investigation by the House Oversight Committee is the best way for Congress to deliver transparency. Trump has repeatedly dismissed the matter as a “Democrat hoax.”

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the state’s surgeon general, has long opposed vaccine mandates.

 

The NY Times - Florida Says It Plans to End All Vaccine Mandates

 

03 Aug 2025

 


Florida plans to become the first state to end all vaccine mandates, including for schoolchildren, rejecting a practice that public health experts have credited for decades with limiting the spread of infectious diseases.

 

Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, the Florida surgeon general, made the announcement on Wednesday alongside Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican. 

 

Mr. DeSantis rose to national prominence during the coronavirus pandemic, and over time he has espoused increasingly anti-vaccine views.

 

 

MAGA self-destruct policy?

 

This will effect all children and adults in the state.

Compare how Trump reacted to edit of

CBS edited a presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s answer to a question about Middle East policy. CBS said it was shortened for brevity, and content didn't change.

Trump sues Paramount for $20 billion when he WON the election.

Paramount, which owns CBS, agreed to pay $16 million, directing funds to Trump’s future presidential library.

Compare to this to Fox.

On Fox & Friends Weekend, Trump was asked if he’d declassify or release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

President Trump appears to respond, ‘Yeah. Yeah, I would.’

However, in the raw footage, President Trump clearly refuses to unequivocally endorse full declassification of the Epstein files.

“Yeah. Yeah, I would. I guess I would. I think that less so because, you don’t know, you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there, because it’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole world. But I think I would.”

Asked if it would restore trust, he said, “Yeah. I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others. Certainly about the way he died. It’d be interesting to find out what happened there, because that was a weird situation and the cameras didn’t happen to be working, etc., etc. But yeah, I’d go a long way toward that one.”

If I might get off-topic.

New Zealand does not require proof of vaccination against any disease (COVID-19, measles, polio, etc.) as a condition of entry.

In some countries ,but not NZ, polio vaccination is required when leaving high-risk countries.

(Yellow fever vaccination is also not required, That's because NZ’s mosquito species are not capable vectors of yellow fever. Even if they bite an infected traveler, the virus won’t replicate inside them, so transmission stops there. New Zealand does not have any of the required Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus established in the wild, so far.)

The Ministry of Health and Immigration NZ make clear there are no compulsory vaccination requirements for international visitors.

So it's "she'll be right". Things will work out, No need to stress too much.

It's recommended. With same urgency as recommending you don't carry hot coffee in your lap when you drive a car.

PM Christopher Luxon has been emphasizing normality, choice, minimal restrictions.

Gallup - Presidential Approval Ratings - Donald Trump

 

August 2025

 

In the first year of his second term, Trump currently has a 40% approval rating, which is better than his 36% rating at this stage of his first term (Aug 2017).

 

This is low compared with other modern presidents - see below.

"Dumb retread"??? This son of a birch is such a damp shirt head.

Something for Trump's future presidential library. A recent Trump "Truth" post.
==========
"Why does Fake News ABC’S This Week With George Slopadopolus have Low IQ ‘commentator’ Donna Brazile on the show?

Wasn’t she totally discredited when she gave Crooked Hillary Clinton the questions to a Debate??? Wasn’t she FIRED by Fake News CNN for so doing???

She's stupid. You can put that on the record

Why would ABC ‘News’ hire such a dumb retread? Check out her disastrous interview with Megyn Kelly from years ago – A total Classic!!! Donna is dumb as a rock, and a liar besides

She, and Sloppy Chris Christie, should be fired from a highly discredited ABC Fake News. They just paid me $16,000,000 for ‘inaccurate’ reporting, now they should pay me more!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.”

Reuters - Trump says China should have mentioned US during 'beautiful ceremony'

 


WASHINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that China's "beautiful ceremony" marking the end of World War Two should have highlighted the role that the U.S. played in Japan's defeat.

 

"I thought it was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very, very impressive," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, hours after he suggested on social media that foreign leaders meeting in Beijing might be conspiring against the U.S.

 

"I watched the speech last night. President Xi is a friend of mine, but I thought that the United States should have been mentioned last night during that speech, because we helped China very, very much."

 

 

Donald was not invited to the party.  🙄

No 79-year-old has ever, ever "never felt better." When any 79-year-old says, "I’ve never felt better," you just assume they’re being sarcastic or they’re in cognitive decline ...  SETH MEYERS

 

 

Disclosure:  I am 6 months older than the Orange Buffoon, and I believe this to be a fair comment.  🙂

[Convicted sex offender] Epstein accusers put pressure on Congress to release the files: NBC News

A group of Jeffrey Epstein accusers on Wednesday told emotional, gut-wrenching stories of sexual abuse at the hands of the late convicted sex offender and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, raising pressure on lawmakers to back the release of all of the files in the Justice Department’s years-long Epstein investigation.

One of the accusers, Marina Lacerda, identified herself as "Minor Victim 1" in Epstein's 2019 federal indictment in New York. "I was one of dozens of girls that I personally know who were forced into Jeffrey’s mansion on 9 East 71st St. in New York City when we were just kids," she said. "Today is the first time that I ever speak publicly about what happened to me.”

“I was only 14 years old when I met Jeffrey," said Lacerda, one of nine female Epstein accusers who appeared at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
...
Thee White House framed voting for the discharge petition as a “hostile act” toward the Trump administration.

“Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration,” a White House official said.

I've become aware that MAGA Christians are warming to "empathy is a sin"

Elon Musk recently called empathy “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization,” to controversial podcaster Joe Rogan.

Lead pastor Grace City Church in Washington State preached empathy is toxic. He went on to say empathy is a weapon and needs to be almost “struck from Christian vocabulary” because “it will align you with hell”

He went further claiming empathy is a sin. He said it was often a sin committed by women in churches, because they are more likely to not shun sinners, sick and bullied.

While it's true the Bible various translations does not use the modern word empathy, but the underlying concept is repeatedly commanded and praised. It is expressed as entering into another’s experience, suffering with them, and responding with care.

Empathy is liberally scattered through the old and new testaments.

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15)

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” (Hebrews 13:3)

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Jesus heals a man with a withered hand, and the Pharisees are condemned because of the hardness of their hearts.

There's even a lot of empathy in the birth of Jesus, from Mary and Joseph

Joseph chooses not to expose Mary to shame about her pregnancy (Matthew 1:19)

Mary identifies herself with “the humble” and “the hungry.”

The manger scene presents Christ born in conditions of poverty.

Obviously later in life Jesus identifies himself with the hungry, the stranger, and the prisoner, teaching that to serve them is to serve him.

Coming back to MAGA psychopaths, like Trump and Elon, they often have a near-total inability to feel empathy or guilt, combined with manipulativeness and superficial charm.

This makes them more dangerous in a “cold-blooded” sense, because they can harm others without remorse and without being emotionally swayed.

Not harsh at all. It would be a fitting end for Trump.

 

Even better if he was cremated and his ashes were incorporated into the pan...
