  • Wherever he speaks in public, someone else wrote his speech. Then he wonder off to elsewhere. Glad he was never invited as a distinguished commencement speaker at major universities.
  • Him blaming Hegseth is fun though. Trump didn't see this coming? Most of the Congressional Republicans stayed away. That should have been a hint.

    Putin failed to advise him that in Russia, attendance is mandatory. Trump needs to form local MAGA party branches to enforce compliance.

    U.S. futures are up slightly tonight. I was taught somewhere that war is good for economies. Physical assets (buildings, roads, factories, ships, weapons and munitions) are completely destroyed / expended and need to be replaced. Routine infrastructure upgrades can’t compete for stimulative effect. Often the replacement is superior in quality (more modern) than that which it replaces further boosting the economy. And governments throw fiscal caution away in the rush to finance the war and then rebuild from it. To an extent Japan’s industrial miracle of the 60s-90s was an outgrowth of the devastation suffered in WW II. And the stimulative effects on the U.S. from WWII can’t be ignored. In the 30s the nation was mired in a depression.

    Mobilizing ICE agents as his brown shirt soldiers has been his plan all alone. He fell asleep several times while looking bore the other time just like the First Lady.
