Trump- the Disaster Years

Can't make this stuff up. Trump posted an AI generated video touting "med beds" that miraculously cure the body . This is not science. It is a far right wing Qanon conspiracy theory. After posting it on his Truth Social, he has since deleted it. Med beds that can cure any disease are pure fiction . What next? This is serious. The President of the United States is posting fictional garbage to the American public about cure-alls. This is not leadership. This is laughable. The scary thing is how many Americans will realize this is not acceptable? There should be an intelligence test to run for President.

Trump made over 100 threats to prosecute or punish political enemies (his perceived political opponents) from 2022-2024. Pre the 24 election, Trump even said "if radical left lunatics" disrupt the election, it should be very easily handled by-National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."(same above source) Are you kidding me? Trump suggested his Attorney General prosecute James Comey, former FBI Director, and she did despite the FBI previously stating there was not enough for a case. Political prosecution and repression are major issues in developing countries and dictatorships. They have no place in democracies. Trump needs to get to leading the country. Inflation is up. Unemployment is up. I don't give a rat's ass about him going after his political enemies, and neither does the American public. Grow up.

T he White House for months barred the AP (Associated Press) from attending events. This got them sued . Post the lawsuit, the White House changed its policy somewhat. Now the Pentagon has followed suit. The Pentagon is requiring reporters to sign an agreement. A recent Department of Defense (Trump has renamed it the Deparment of War) memo reads: "“DoW information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified.” This is what dictators do- restrict free speech and freedom of the press. This is against our Constitution. This is unAmerican.

Trump signed an executive order Monday declaring ANTIFA a "domestic terrorist organization." It directs Trump administration officials to investigate and thwart "any and all illegal operations" and to pursue people who fund such operations. Here are the basic and most obvious problems of this dictator move, for starters we have the first amendment to the Constituion: First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievance." The Supreme Court has recognized the "freedom of association" (not explicity listed but obvious-out of necessity to exercise the other rights) since the 1950s. Whether it's Toastmasters, Masons, Elks, Shriners, Lions Clubs or the Communist or Socialist parties, these groups and others ...

Trump signed an executive order saying China will sell Tik Tok. I'm happy. Yet, how weird is that? How does Trump order a private company in another country be sold? Congress passed a law in 2024 Tik Tok would be banned in the United States unless China sold it. Let's keep Russia and China out of our national security interests and elections. Hapy to hear Trump is on top of this.

Trump stated today Ukraine could win all its territory back with the help of NATO and the EU . Finally, I agree. I also agree with Trump the United Nations needs to pull their own weight. Countries in the UN need to pay more. The reality is the US is behind almost $3 billion in owed payments to the UN . What is happening because of this? Well, under Trump the US has withdrawn from several vital UN bodies including: UNESCO (the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization), WHO (World Health Organization), and the Human Rights Council. These moves and Trump withholding vital UN funds are clear actions Trump does not support the UN (actions speak louder than words). This does not make the world safer. Putin is clearly the big winner. Why such loyalty to Putin? Common sense and the fact Putin holds Epstein materials makes sense. (this story alleges he holds Prince Andrew Epstein materials. It makes sense he would also have Trump Epstein materials- as Epstein recorded his gues...

Trump criticizes European allie s. The UN exists to protect nations. Trump has been frazzling the UN member nations down to the wire. The US has no crediblity when Trump is blaring a lie that Ukraine caused the war. Trump's hollow threats of sanctioning Russia have grown old (never happens, it just gets pushed on for a few more weeks and a new news cycle). T rump has chosen to retreat from UN human rights standard s. The embarassment is real. The lack of respect from the world only stands to hurt the United States. Putin is pleased I am sure.

Trump literally said he believes if you criticize his administration the FCC ought to pull your license to be on air, to be specific (see story here ). The Jimmy Kimmel show was pulled after Kimmel made a joke about MAGA and their response to the Kirk shooting (he wasn't wrong, without anyn evidence many were trying to blame the left). Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner and staunch Trump ally, has been hinting of pulling Kimmell off the air for awhile . The first amendment to the United States guarantees free speech. Trump does not care. His FCC budy Brendan Carr does not care. We are watching our rights erode away before our very eyes. Postnote- Kimmell coming back on the air . I know Kimmell went to see a lawyer and the ACLU was getting involved. Disney- you lucked out. I was about to cancel my subscription.

I am in trial this week so there are no news posts. I have been doing a lot of thinking and feel very strongly we need to come together as a nation. There are so many bots (Russian) on social media stirring up the waters with low hanging fruit riling people up. People are taking the bait as they are under false pseudonyms and appear legitimate (even fake new stories!). There are so many excellent Republicans, Independents and Democrats out there. These are the majority of voters. We are one. We are an American people. We all want jobs which give us purpose, good food to eat, friends to share laughs with and a home to come to after our work. We need to focus on the common interests which unite us. It's time to stop allowing foreign interests to divide us. No one is perfect. No leader will ever be. We will all never totally agree with one political agenda or side; we must have the courage to embrace what is right, even if it is from or with the other political party on certain...

There are some facts history books don't get wrong no matter what the politics are. Some of these facts are: 1. Who invaded which country. 2. What was the date of this invasion. 3. How long a war lasts. Why a country goes to war can be up for debate, depending on which side is talking or recording history. Who wins the war may even be up for debate, depending on how history is written. The whole world saw Russian tanks invade Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. News outlets from around the world captured footage. This is not up for debate. Yet Trump said in April 2025, "You don't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles." Trump blamed Zelensky and Ukraine for the war. This is preposterous, as there is SO much international coverage of this ruthless invasion. Trump is a fool if the thinks his "spinning" the truth (like his claims on "rigged" elections) will change the facts. America is foolish t...

The unemployment rate in August is 4.3% . This is the highest unemployment rate since 2021, the pandemic. This is a critical number which reflects the health of the economy. Truth often hurts. To hide the truth is to make the situation and decisions worse. Rather than face this bad number and make intelligent decisions to improve our economy, Trump claimed Erika McEntarfer, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, had "RIGGED" stats to "MAKE THE REPUBLICANS AND ME LOOK BAD." Crazy. Trump does not like the figures so he makes an outlandish claim the Commissioner made up the figures and fires her. Leaders don't run from the truth. Leaders don't lie about the truth. Leaders don't hide the truth. You can't solve problems if you are in denial, ask any drug addict or alcoholic. America wake up. Trump is not a leader. He is a con man.

A right wing American political activist, author and media personality was gunned down at an event today . Political violence is never ok. No blog today (blog is on Monday-Friday minus holidays). No person ever deserves to be gunned down due to their political beliefs. It is not ok.

The House Oversight committee released more documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate . Two are very damning. One is a birthday card from Trump to Epstein "May every day be another wonderful secret" and a picture with Epstein and a long time Mar a Lago member joking about selling a "fully depreciated" woman to Trump for $22,500. These are physical pieces of evidence from Epstein's estate. Trump is of course calling everything a lie- not his signature, etc. Facts- numerous pictures and much evidence prove the Trump-Epstein close friendship. Let's not forget Trump declaring on Jan. 23, 2016, while campaigning in Iowa "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Enough America. Who in their right mind would think this, much less say it at a campaign event? He truly believes he can get away with murder. Maxwell, Epstein's girlfiend, was convicted of child sex trafficking and ...

Facts: 1. (See previous post on illegality of deploying National Guard without permission of the Governor or insurrection) Trump is illegally mustering troops on American soil (Chicago) bragging "WAR" (his words, see his tweet 2 days ago, see above image). 2. Trump wants to scare Democrats and sanctuary cities with muscle, illegal force. 3. Chicago is the third largest city in the United States. Since Republicans are only in power due to gerrymandering (see the real numbers with Independents) , this is a move to assert fear among the masses. 4. Clearly, Presidents serve all Americans (not just their party). Donald Trump is a mentally ill man. No other explanation for such tweet. Do not read below if you want MY opinion (ample evidence on all counts): What is Trump really trying to accomplish? 1. His policies are to enrich the extremely wealthy (while entertaining the masses of unedcuated). His "Big Beautiful Bill" helps the uber rich. 2. He is a lo...

Until Trump came along, American candidates used their brains and the courts to rule legalities of elections (remember i n 2000 when the Supreme Court of the United States determined the Presidential election between Bush and Gore? ) Trump is the quintessential child who has never been disciplined. Like an undisciplined child, he does not know right from wrong, and his actions prove this. Examples: Don't want to pay the expensive contractors who fulfilled thier contracts? No problem, Trump just refuses to pay legally binding contracts and settles for pennies on the dollars in lawsuits . Not enough pretty women in his life? No problem, Trump just walks in on underage girls in the pageants he works . He (as "locker room talk") brags about assaulting pretty women: "Grab them by the pussy, You can do anything." . Don't like the facts in a debate? No problem, he just lies. He is one of the most prolific liars of all time by American politician standards. ...

Last night, this came across my X feed. I had to go to the White House's X account to make sure it is legitimate. Unfortunately, it is. Shocking. Disgusting. Shameful. President Trump does not have the legal power to strip away someone's citizenship. Why is this happening? It is because Rosie O'Donnell openly criticizes Trump . Murderous third world dictators and lawless autocrats (like Putin) pull moves like this, not leaders of the free world. This is the United States of America. Every one has the right to free speech. Trump cannot revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship because he does not like the things she says. The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to exercise free speech This is deeply concerning. This is the logic of a 5 year old. How can this even be happening? Stupid is as stupid does. If you want to gage someone's intelligence, observe their actions. Congress has the Constitutional power over de-naturalization ...

The United States Constitution divides our democracy into three branches: the legislative (for making the laws), the judiciary (for enforcing the laws) and the executive (leadership in policymaking). Trump believes he can write the laws by executive order because he is the President. He cannot. He is not a member of Congress. His executive orders are not for policymaking. He has used them to override laws he disagrees with and make laws. This is improper. It is up to the judiciary, our national courts, to do their job. We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship. Can Trump use his executive power to call up the National Guard to police American cities? No. This is illegal. He has mistaken his Constitutional role as head of the military to illegally violate what Congress has forbidden. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 is still law. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal military personnel to execute domestic laws. Americans have always been wary of military force use...

So Trump is taking a play out of Putin's playbook. He has declared he wants to get rid of mail in ballots . Yet nearly a third of Americans use mail in ballots. Remember when Trump called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger in 2020 and said, "Look, I just want to find, uh, 11, 780 votes..." This is what you call rigging an election. You can't do this. You can't make a phone call telling a Secetary of State what you want. Elections don't work that way. The people decide elections in a democracy, not Presidents. He says he is having an executive order drafted up. America wake up. I don't care what party you vote in, your vote matters. It won't with rigged elections or exectuvive orders. Alarm bells America. This is not ok.
