Today Trump signed an executive order again delaying a TikTok sell-or-ban law from going into effect. The law was passed by Congress in 2024.
No president has the authority to ignore Congressional acts. Who in the GOP has the guts to break the news to Trump? Anyone? Anyone?

Trump at the state dinner: “I believe we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody's even questioning it, but we owe so much of that to you and the footing that you gave us when we started.”
The footing the British gave us when we started was the Revolutionary War, for 8 years.

Trump constantly talks about IQs. That must be why he threatened his high school, his colleges, and the College Board with lawsuits if they ever released his grades or SAT scores.

In the 50s there was an advertising campaign for Miss Clairol hair coloring. Women with natural looking blond hair were featured with the question “Does she. . . or doesn't she?”
Narcissist Trump loves being the center of attention with people asking “Will he. . . or won’t he?”

Trump’s going to decide on Iran in two weeks. He was going to sign a terrific healthcare plan in two weeks. He was going to announce his position on an abortion pill in two weeks. He was going to give details on Obama wiretapping him in two weeks.
Anyone see a pattern here?

Trump’s Apprentice was a flop by 2010, when it was 113th in ratings, but he has a new soap opera. Every day is a cliffhanger - Nobody knows what I’m going to do - and of course he’s the star, backed by central casting types like Pete Hegseth.
Another disastrous Trump production.

In times like these we have the least informed, least caring, least inquisitive, least rational, least reliable, least conscientious, least responsible president in history bragging about two beautiful flag poles - “tall, tapered, rust proof” - he’s donating.
God save us.

Trump made $1.3 million from his China-made Bible, $2.5 million from sneakers and fragrances, $2.8 million from watches, and a whopping $57 million from his crypto token scam.

The 2020 election was stolen. Windmills cause cancer. Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. You need an ID to buy a loaf of bread. Cruz’s father was involved in JFK’s assassination.
Who spreads such nonsense? Unfortunately for us, the president of the United States.

I keep reading and hearing that Senator Padilla barged in, stormed in, charged at, and lunged at Kristi Noem. No video shows that.

Trump told us he’d settle the Ukraine war in one day, he’s made 200 trade deals, migrants were eating pets in Ohio.
Now he says he sent the Marines and National Guard to LA because it’s a war zone with widespread, severe violence. More cities to follow.
As usual MAGA buys it.

Sending in the Marines. Reopening Alcatraz. Trump as Pope. $5,000 DOGE refund checks. Making Columbus Day great again. Trump’s going to audit Ft. Knox. Renaming Veterans Day.

There are GOP bills to put Trump on Mt. Rushmore and a $250 bill, designate his birthday a public holiday, rename Dulles Airport after him, let him run again for president, rename D.C.’s metro rail system the Trump train and expunge his impeachment.
