I don't see what is different here. Trump's communications have always been incoherent and grammatically challenged. This is the man who invented covfefe. What is different?

 

 

 

 

Agree, more of the same. And he has the US and the world wrapped around his puny finger. Not the fault of the world, but a POTUS has a lot of sway, very sad that it is being abused.

A whole new definition of abuse. The graft and corruption is in a league of its own. They aren't even trying to disguise it any more. It is just all-out systematic looting by the Trumps and everyone else in their greed-driven administration.

All we can hope for now is that his legacy is that he gets wiped from the annals of history once he passes on and nobody ever mentions his "presidency" again. 

 

Either that, or he gets arrested at some point in the next couple of years and is very much tried and convicted for everything he's done and all of his family go with him. 
And a massive corruption investigation uncovers all of the co-conspirators and cleans out the cesspool that is the Washington political system.

Of course the MAGA thinks the "swamp" only exists when the other side is in power. Their leaders, on the other hand, are all squeaky-clean people.

He and his Presidencies and the Republican Party of these periods, won't be "wiped from the annals of history" because as I said many posts previous; High Schools, Colleges and Universities, worldwide will be writing papers, dissertations and thesis's on him and his two Presidencies for decades. I just pity the poor teachers and Professors.

 

And I think it's about time, well post this term, that nobody in America should refer to the Republican Party as "The Grand Old Party". They are no longer Grand, just F**** ‼️

This political cartoon by Thomas Nast, taken from a 1879 edition of Harper's Weekly, was an early use of the elephant and the donkey to sybolize the Republican and Democratic parties.

Better would be if Trump is held up as a legendary and obviously implausible cautionary tale.

Maybe Trump's linguistic legacy is the same as Machiavellian, Gerrymander, McCarthyism, Thatcherism, Stalinism.

Or perhaps like Nicolas Chauvin, a French soldier under Napoleon with fanatical loyalty. His over‑the‑top patriotism and devotion to the Emperor became so famous in 19th‑century France that his name turned into the common noun “chauvinism.”

Maybe in the future, assuming humanity outlives its current hubris, "Trumpist" will become the definition of someone with equal portions of lout, glutton, grifter and narcissist.

Surely, this is solid confirmation of both past tax evasion and corruption at the highest level ???

According to Vice President and soft furniture enthusiast JD Vance, any such suggestion would be 'a hell of a question'.

AlterNet - Donald Trump is not coming back from this 

 

19 May 2026

 


Donald Trump’s rapid descent into his own special hell is gaining speed. This hulking, demented racist conman will eventually land with a thud, with only the billions in cold, hard cash he has drained from the American taxpayer to cushion his collapse.

 

Our standing on the world stage has taken a hit we might never recover from. We have no allies, only old neighbors who are watching in disbelief as the big, old white house on the block burns out of control.

 

Our air and water is getting dirtier by the hour, and food prices are higher every time we wander into a store. Women have less rights than they did 50 years ago, and the Jim Crow South is back. Our government has been dismantled by greedy, billionaire Orcs, so that it works exclusively for them and not us.

 

America has never been worse off ...

Trump aspirations seems to be in line with some notorious kings.

French Louis XIV’s was in charge during "The Affair of the Poisons."

It involved poisonings, sorcery, black masses, and murder-for-hire among nobles, so at least in the same ball park.

Trump is likely envious of King Leopold II. Leopold is sore spot for Belgium. Belgium’s reckoning with him has been slow and incomplete.

The African Museum in Brussels was still largely celebratory of colonialism as late as 2009. Only in this decade has Belgium begun removing statues, updating museums, and acknowledging the scale of the crimes.

King Leopold II ran the Congo as his personal property, extracting rubber and ivory. He oversaw a regime of forced labor, mutilation, hostage-taking, and mass killings. He enriched himself with today’s equivalent of billions while millions of Congolese died.

Speaking of owning other countries, I suspect Trump also has twisted ambitions for Iceland, Ukraine, Cuba, and "Club Med Gaza”.

Regarding Iran Trump has said multiple "Iran could be a wealthy nation if it makes a deal." Take that as you will.

See this real Trump social post with Venezuela, covered by an American flag, and the caption "51st state".

I thought Canada was the 51st state.

 

What an idiot.

Venezuela... only because they have oil.

 

Canada... they have oil too, something like the third or fourth largest reserves of it.

They can't even make Puerto Rico the 51st State. How the hell do they expect to do it with anyone else? Trump is an imbecile. An arrested development nappy-wearing moron. An overweight, fat food stuffing idiot. A big assed wet fart expelling nitwit simpleton. 

 

And that is his good side!
