Thank Christ for that, although given Trump and his predilection to name random crap after himself, it wouldn't surprise me!

I can see it becoming the "Trump of Hormuz"...

This is something I really hope comes true, post-2028 (assuming elections still happen as per usual - especially given that Dominion Voting Systems, who were alleged to have committed election fraud in 2020 has just been sold to some Republican guy):

Trump is a symptom, not the cause.

QFT

When I posted that, I did think the last line was a bit of a stretch - even if the orange buffoon keeled over tomorrow, there would be someone (James?) to step in and take his place as leader of the MAGA crowd

Also I think you're right, Trump has done a lot of damage to the US political system; just look at how far apart the divisions are on each side now. True, he didn't cause all the polarisation that exists in US politics today, but he sure as hell had a pretty big hand in making it worse.

Whether Trump's heir apparent (James? Marco?) has the same sort of personality or can draw as much of a crowd as Trump does is a bit more of an open question, IMO.

I'm still hopeful most of it come true, though 🤞

NATO faces a “very bad” future if it doesn’t help clear the strait, Trump told the Financial Times, apparently forgetting that the United States founded the organization and has led it since its creation in 1949. He has also said he is not asking but ordering seven countries to help. He did not specify which ones. “I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way from Florida to Washington. “It’s the place from which they get their energy.” Actually it isn’t their territory, and it’s his fault that their energy is blocked.

But in Trump’s mind, these threats are justified: He has a problem right now, so he wants other countries to solve it. He doesn’t seem to remember or care what he said to their leaders last month or last year, nor does he know how his previous decisions shaped public opinion in their countries or harmed their interests. But they remember, they care, and they know.

An interesting read about how the orange buffoon insults America's allies, then seems to forget that he did it (or lies about it), then suddenly demands their help when it suits him.

What a pity that people have these things called memories 🤷‍♂️

Well, people except for the Americans who voted him in a second time, anyway.

Saw this on a subreddit that makes fun of Q Anon conspiracy theorists and MAGA. 

These people can come up with the most elaborate links between conspiracies, but can't understand one evidence-supported direct link.

re Melania's propaganda, uh, "documentary":

...and the Oscars (and the fact it didn't win, well, anything):
