The “peacemaker” and Commander- in-Chief had this to say on Tuesday about resettling refugees outside of Gaza.
“I hope we can do something where they wouldn’t want to go back. If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people, permanently, in nice homes where they can be happy and not be shot and not be killed and not be knifed to death like what’s happening in Gaza.”
Hmm….he forgot about the bombing that destroyed the infrastructure.
On Thursday, he had this to say:
“The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe and free.”
Day dreaming is nice sometimes but the 47th president needs to understand that he is not the regular Joe on the street and what he says will and might have repercussions. It did. What’s that about Chuck Schumer?!!
The man who is used to jumping the gun and putting half-baked ideas out there did not reckon on the “fury” he would create in the Arab world through his thoughtless and “crazy” remarks.
Egypt and Jordan are strongly against any forced relocation of Gazans. They won’t be taking in any Palestinian refugees and Saudi Arabia is standing firm saying, “that Palestinian statehood is nonnegotiable.”
According to another source Trump’s suggestion, “has the potential to unleash revolutions and provoke state collapse in the Middle East.” Furthermore, this plan will not bring peace to the area. It will unleash a vicious cycle of violence for Israelis and Palestinians.
The smackdown is clear. The plan has nowhere to go but back where it came from. Talking without thinking, ideas that sound good at first glance but not well thought out AND “making the deal” is what this administration is all about but they are quickly learning that what the “new Messiah” has to say doesn’t always fly!
It is not kind, it is not gentle, it is not compassionate but it is far-reaching and “rule of law” does not apply here.
What we’re seeing now is nothing different from his first term where throwing “bans” like hand grenades was the norm and half-thought out ideas reigned supreme. Legality was and is nothing that he’s concerned about but coming out on top as the “most powerful man on the planet” is.
Who cares about the Constitution, checks and balances, and if it’s legal or NOT! Anything that stands in his way has got to go is his motto.
Scary? It is but the 47th President marches to a different drumbeat. He has lost sight of “government of the people by the people and for the people.” Does it ring any bells? Running, even if it means running in place, makes up his daily existence and coming up with new “bans” in the early morning hours seems to make up his presidency. Notwithstanding shock tactics, drama, theatrics and “lovefests” with dictator types and you’ve got the whole picture and not a pretty one at that.
Add Elon Musk to the whole kit and caboodle and you’ve got disaster in the making. Remember him? The Tesla CEO, Jack of all Trades and more recently lover of all things “right wing” which led to the Hitler salute that had the world sitting up and taking notice? He has toned it down, more specifically the salute of the “Sieg Heil!” variety, it’s now a watered-down version, more like the Queen’s wave with a smile to match but he’s not fooling anyone!
Where is all of this headed? Your guess is as good as mine but if you’re waiting for “kinder and gentler” to return, don’t hold your breath! It has flown the coop and if you think it’s “bad” now, I think it will only get worse.
Dictatorship in the making? What do you think?
Time to put on my shoes and go get some fresh air!
He was off and running during his first-term and not only banning everything left and right but it soon dawned that the man had an obsession with words.
His favorite was “huge” or rather “yuge” as he pronounced it. This was one prime example of Trump’s non-existent linguistics skill.
Believe me – it was used to hit home that he is a reliable source of information even if he got it from Twitter or whatever the hell it is called now.
Loser – He used it to describe everyone from Cher to fallen soldiers to terrorists as losers but he left himself out.
Great – Ah yes, “great” was used to describe himself and all his accomplishments. It was big talk with a lot of hot air. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.” Remember that one? Did he? He still has dreams of doing that one except Mexico won’t help him do it but perhaps the military will? Great is also used to bolster his “I” status. Everything is “great” when applied to his ideas and his wisdom. He loves the idea of having one president for life. “I think it’s great.” I think Trump 2.0 hasn’t changed much in that respect.
Covfefe – a non-existent word but who cares where he is concerned. This one sent everyone scrambling to uncover the true meaning of the word including yours truly but as the former press secretary, Sean Spicer said, “The President and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.” Hmm….
Winning – “You’re going to win so much you may get tired of winning.” This one refers to the Trump formula of success. There’s nowhere to go but up but when you fall or fail —there’s always another way. January 6th comes to mind.
Zero – Insults are a plenty where he’s concerned. “Crooked Hilary Clinton has zero natural talent.” Just one example but he is well-versed in them, the “insults” category that is.
Fast forward to the here and now. The 47th president hasn’t changed much. It is just the beginning of his second-term as Commander-in-Chief and one word stands out. It is COMMONSENSE! It seems to be his favorite word of the moment. Stepping onto the podium, the president spent all of 2 minutes speaking about the midair collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter followed by a moment of silence and then he was off and running blaming everything he could get his hands on.
It was the helicopter pilots, night-vision goggles, landing tracks followed by attacks aimed at Barack Obama and Joe Biden AND last but not least, diversity hires. When asked why? His answer, “Because I have commonsense, OK?”
The main point he wanted to get across was that he had it all under control and his administration wasn’t at fault. Let’s deflect blame and his “men” the recently sworn-in ones were there to heap accolades and ready to do his bidding.
Commonsense? That is far-reaching to say the least but that’s his new “buzzword” and we’ll be hearing much much more of that as the president and the man who has a limited grasp of vocabulary is concerned. It will stay that way until he comes up with a new one in the wee hours of the morning as he ponders on how to get the message across that he’s a “genius.”
This time with gloves off and in full-frontal mode! He’s off and running and he’s got something to prove and that is he keeps his promises, those of the unsavoury kind!
As promised, his first day back in the Oval Office was a flurry of activity and that pen, the one he uses to sign the executive orders saw little rest as the 47th president and now Commander-in-Chief showed the world and America, “Don’t f**k with me!” He doesn’t always mean what he says but if you cross him or get caught in the cross hairs, there’s a price to pay.
Let’s forget about kinder and gentler, that was never his strong suit. It’s all on the surface but what dwells within is a whole different story altogether. We saw “kinder and gentler” depart two days ago when former president, Joe Biden and First Lady, Jill Biden took their last flight out of there.
Now, it’s first things first as far as the “new sheriff” is concerned. He has pardoned and commuted sentences of “roughly 1500 defendants charged with crimes connected to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including some convicted of assaulting police officers.” He has also directed the attorney general to dismiss all indictments pending related to the largest federal investigation ever. I guess now that he has walked free, the others deserve the same as well. Who cares about rule of law? He definitely doesn’t. Let me take that back. He does but only when it pertains to him and his supporters.
He has also ordered all federal diversity, equity and inclusion employees be placed on paid leave starting Wednesday and he has directed government agencies to draw up plans for firing workers in DEI roles. Why? He wants to end “the scourge of DEI and return America to a merit based society.” Right…someone should tell him that “color,” “race,” and “religion,” has always played a big part in American society. Let’s take it way back, why don’t we? Former President Joe Biden signed actions bolstering racial equality when he took office in 2021. Let’s undo them all is Trump’s priority.
He also signed numerous executive orders affecting LGBTQ people and immigrants. Two of his pet peeves. There will be more to come as he puts his “revenge” agenda front and center!
Is your head spinning? I know mine is. Shoes on and off in nature to let it calm my frazzled nerves.
The 47th President, Donald John Trump was sworn in with pomp and circumstance and the celebrations still continue as Americans celebrate, well some are while others look on with mistrust and even horror at a new era of who knows what. Coming back to the inauguration, it was a peaceful transfer of power and it was for all purposes democracy in action as it should be. Remember what happened 4 years ago when Trump lost and the instigated attack that ensued on the Capitol? This time around there was none of that and you know why.
The new president has promised, “Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen,” referring to his plans for Day 1 of his administration. Nothing new here because President Trump is known to run before he can walk.
On the agenda are immigration raids in major metropolitan areas to deport undocumented migrants. Following that or perhaps not in that order are the January 6, 2021 defendants waiting for pardons to be handed down which Trump has promised and others across the globe will be awaiting to see what plans he will put in action as far as “tariffs, land grabs and an end to grinding wars.” He has promised to issue more than 100 executive actions during his first week in office.
A new sheriff is in town folks and he’s going to make it be known that he’s the boss. All just hot air? It could be but it could be different this time around according to one of his advisors as told to CNN. “We want to come in and show just how serious we are. Trump is back, it’s go time. Like a shock to the system.”
Hmm….
Yes folks, the spin cycle is on and it will be dizzying to say the least. What about retribution? Remember he promised to “investigate and punish his adversaries, especially those involved in his four prosecutions and the congressional investigation of the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. However, President Biden might have made a preemptive strike on that one. Joe Biden has issued last minute pardons to Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House Committee that investigated the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol, including former Representative Liz Cheney.
Did this move take the wind out of Trump’s sails? You can bet your bottom dollar it did but who knows what else he has up his sleeve. All will be made clear in time as a new Trump era dawns in Washington. Will we see a kinder, gentler and classier Trump now that he has the tech giants by his side or will it be business as usual. You know the schoolyard bullying antics of throwing temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. Will there be more of the same?
I think the real Trump will show up sooner or later. It is just a matter of time before he steps out thumping his nose at rule of law. Donald J. Trump is not known for “grace under pressure” and so I say, don’t hold your breath as far as the person he presented yesterday, the one who wants to Make America Again and his role as a peacemaker and unifier notwithstanding all the promises he rolled out. Many have tried and failed and if it was as easy as that, it would have been done already. The problem is wanting it and getting it are two different concepts altogether. It takes more than a scripted speech to do that and he is fully aware of it or perhaps not.
One thing is for sure, there will be much for the press to talk about, to decipher and shred as he takes office and goes about showing America and the world that he is the “new Messiah” and only he and he alone can right the wrongs and get everyone back on track. A big job for an old man who can’t even keep his thoughts in line, let alone one who has trouble making complete sentences that make sense!
Good luck and may God Bless America and the rest of the world.
I wrote this article last year when Trump was running to be the 47th president and since then he has bagged the presidency. However, the man behind the scene, Elon Musk, is where we should be placing our attention. Can money buy an election? The man in question is now dabbling in politics and how. It seems he has a love affair with far-right organizations. Take it across the pond and that’s where he is zooming in with a hawk-like presence. His lovefest with Alice Weidel was evident as he backed her as the leading candidate to run Germany. She is currently the chancellor candidate for AfD. The multibillionaire is deadset on using his global platform as a megaphone to get his views heard and maybe more than that.
He once asked his 211 million followers if “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government,” by voting. To which, Robert Ford, a professor of politics at the University of Manchester, had this to say. “Musk has a very distorted understanding of British politics, and yet he’s got a megaphone.” That megaphone and the money behind it could distort, derail and maybe even get the wrong person elected. Just saying.
This is the article I wrote last year:
Trump’s major interview with Elon Musk almost got derailed because of a huge technical problem but it got back on track after a 40 plus minute delay and when it did, the bromance flourished between the former president and the Space X Founder.
The former president felt so safe in Musk’s presence that he went off-script and unleashed at least 20 false claims. He ran the gamut and let loose his falsehoods with Elon Musk giving him his undivided attention. The former Commander in Chief and all around liar gripped about crime rates, inflation, Global warming (of which he knows nothing about) and anything else he saw fit to throw into the mix. It didn’t matter if they were lies or gross exaggerations. Things like that don’t matter to a seasoned pathological liar and a true narcissist.
According to NPR, he told 162 lies and distortions in his news presser at Mar-a-Lago within 1 hour. The NPR team found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes and that’s more than two a minute. “It’s a stunning number for anyone – and even more problematic for a person running to lead the free world.” They further added that, “what former President Trump did this past Thursday went well beyond the bounds of what most politicians would do.” The Musk interview was no different.
EU’s commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton, cautioned X founder and Tech mogul Musk asking him to censor the interview to avoid “the amplification of harmful content.” He went on to say that Musk “has a legal obligation to comply with the Digital Services Act to fight the spread of misinformation as the man in charge of the platform used by over 300 million people worldwide.”
Musk’s reply went like this. “Take a big step back and literally f**k your own face!” The man is not a novice when faced with censorship. In July, EU charged X for failing to respect its social media laws. He also faced recent criticism for fanning the flames as far-right riots broke out in the UK claiming the perpetrator of the Southport stabbings was Muslim which was an untruth.
How smart is Musk? According to Noam Mendelssohn, a Software Engineer, “Elon Musk is not very bright. He’s an economic and business bully in the same line as Trump, but nothing more. Any engineer worth his salt, any person with basic physics knowledge or computer knowledge can shred his ideas.” He went on to add, “His solar plans are flawed, his calculations on his TED interview are about 100x off, Tesla was not his idea, he strongarmed his way in and his hyperloop idea being even worse.” So how did he make his money? Mendelssohn had this answer. “He has a hype that is believed by simpletons and he is making his money by being a snake oil salesman.” Two peas in a pod? No wonder the bromance took off like a rocket and is till flying around in space somewhere!
Joseph Costello, Harris campaign spokesperson, had this to say about the interview.
“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself – self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”
The interview was a flop in more ways than one. Nothing new, same old lies, exaggerated insults coming from an “old” man who is trying to give his sagging and deflated campaign a helping hand but unfortunately for him, it is going to take more than what he has in that thing he calls a brain to do that!
An article about President Trump and his inability to keep “secrets.”
I wrote this article when Trump was the 45th president. Fighting like a schoolyard bully to jumping in feet first before thinking and starting debacles was all part and parcel of his administration. He is now on his way to taking office as the 47th president and he will be the oldest individual to serve as president and the first to take office after having been impeached and not only that, he will be the first convicted felon to take office as well. Will we see more of the same? You can bet your bottom dollar we will. He is off and running again. Talks of buying Greenland to annexing Canada to using military force against a NATO ally and the list grows as the man who loves using “I” takes office. He has little regard for norms and often he lets his mouth overload his you know what!
The article I wrote back then.
The 45th President is in hot water again and this just days after the controversial firing of FBI Director, James Comey. The president alleged that the firing was due to Comey “not doing a good job,” and instead of leaving it at that, he went on to tweet a thinly veiled threat suggesting that there was a taped recording of his conversation with Comey further adding, “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.” That threw him into the eye of the hurricane where he has been ever since.
As if that wasn’t enough to throw his presidency into a downward spiral, the president was off and running to his next debacle. This one involves allegations that he divulged classified information to Russian diplomats in the Oval Office. The Washington Post reported that Trump revealed highly classified information on the Islamic State group during his meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kialyak. Yes folks, ignorance is bliss and where the new President is concerned, it’s enough to “sink ships,” or his Presidency.
The latest morsel of “red meat” was just what the press needed to send them scrambling to get the best angle on the developing story as dreams of “impeachment” riddled through the minds of die-hard Trump haters. Not so fast people. There is such a thing as damage control and the White House has been doing just that sending in the “big guns” to take care of business. If Spicer’s “stare down the press” tactics hasn’t worked, well, maybe sending in National Security Advisor HR McMaster might just do the job. In his no-nonsense fashion, he denied that the President had revealed, “Intelligence sources or methods,” but reviewed, “a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation.” Was that enough to calm the “storm” and bring it to a screeching halt? Guess again.
Trump’s questionable tweets and actions have put his Presidency in turmoil once again and not even all the President’s men and women can put it back together again. This latest drama is one of his own making and if he doesn’t stop shooting off tweets from the White House during the early morning hours instead of getting some sleep, this situation is only going to get worse. Perhaps, he should take a tip from the 44th President, Barack Obama. When the going gets tough, go golfing. There is no better way to let off some steam than by shooting a small ball into a round hole at the same time cussing under your breath about all the wrongs of the world that needs righting. A surefire way to keep the lid on an explosive situation and you come off looking like a winner.
One last thing, the office of the President deserves a modicum of decorum and spouting off “secrets” at the drop of a coin and shooting off tweets like a teenager is not the way to get it.
I wrote this way back when Trump was running and took office as the 45th President. Some of the things I said then still stands but only this time his second tenure as the president of the United States is set to begin on January 20, 2025 when he will be inaugurated in as the 47th president. Lord help us all!
This is what I said then:
To tell you the truth, I’ve got a love-hate relationship with the 45th President, Donald J. Trump. I guess I’ve got more then that going, I’ve developed a symptom I would like to call Trumpenitus. Read on to find out what it is.
I liked him well-enough at the beginning of his run for the White House. He was funny and a breath of fresh air compared to the other stiff-necked candidates. I could see that it wasn’t going to be politics as usual with him. There was something in the air, some may call it a bunch of “bull” but that slogan, “Make America Great Again,” had me singing his praises and it caught on like wild-fire with his supporters leaving the one other significant candidate, Hillary Clinton, free-falling and into nothingness.
Against all odds, he went on to win the Presidency leaving Democrats in the dust asking, “What happened here?” The 45th President was voted in and inaugurated with pomp and circumstance and I was still on the Trump bandwagon waving my flag and standing tall and with a big smile on my face. I told a friend, “I think he’ll be good for the country. Perhaps he’ll turn things around and “Make America Great Again.” My friend an ardent but sour grapes Democrat was crushed and replied, “You must be out of your mind.” Looking back I must have been or I simply had Trumpenitus, a gushing in my ear of all things Trump. Yes, I was full of it or of something or rather.
It’s been a roller-coaster ride and only a little more than a 100 days into his Presidency when the alarm bells starting ringing. First, it was the banning of Muslims from certain countries. Let’s just say that was obvious since he had been hinting about it throughout his campaign. It was nothing new but to actually put a ban into effect took gumption and a narrow-eyed focus. My first reaction was, “How’s this going to work?” I didn’t think it was fair and with the rise of hate crimes against Muslims in the country, I knew that it would only escalate the situation and cause more problems. I told myself to take the wait and see approach. Perhaps, he had a plan and maybe the ringing in my ears and head might come to a screeching halt. I could only pray but I was still hanging onto that bandwagon, the Trump wagon that is.
No chance, it took off again when he okayed the strike against Syria with very little media hoopla. Gone were the days of putting every move and strategic advantage out there so that the media could dissect every little detail and when the administration finally made a move, the enemy had packed up their assets and left town. This was refreshing indeed, finally a Commander-in-Chief who was willing to show the world, “Who’s the boss?” Good, the love-shine hadn’t worn off yet.
Oh wait, I spoke too soon. Now, the tweets were coming in fast and furious and the digs at the media was causing more than a flurry. They, the media, was waging war on the President except of course for Fox News. They were his darlings (talking about the moderators on Fox News) and could do no wrong as far as he was concerned. Suddenly, North Korea was looming high and mighty and hissing at the fringes. Tough talk from the President didn’t do much to soothe the situation or calm the chubby dictator and get him off his stool of arrogance. Ok, here we go, I thought. He’s going to get us in a war. Trigger-happy? Perhaps.
Trumpenitus was in full swing by now. Tax cuts, picking fights like a school yard bully, border wall disputes, deportation of illegal immigrants, repeal and replace Obamacare and repeal Michelle Obama’s healthy school lunch plans. Did I miss anything? Probably but who cares. Just when I thought I had a grasp on one idea, he was off and running to another. Oh Lord, I need something for the ringing….. He’s making my ears ring and my head spin at the same time! What happens when you take on too much in a minimum amount of time? Your guess is as good as mine.
In a nutshell, the 45th President, Donald J. Trump wants to do good for the country but I wonder if he’s on a fast-track to disaster because of the speed-cycle he’s chosen? His chart-busting moves is making me sick. I need a doctor fast!
Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was a carnival of sorts but not of the harmless or fun variety. Orange Jesus and his allies took it upon themselves to show the world who they really are and what they stand for and if Trump is re-elected again what we all stand to lose.
Everything will be put on the line including democracy, the right to a life free of racial divisions, hatred and a better life for everyone and not just a select few.
With just a week to go before Election Day, the man who is not fit for the highest job in the land had his henchmen put on a show that was not only an eye-opener but it made everyone sit up and take notice except for his supporters and crowd pleasers of course. “Heil, Hitler!” comes to mind and not in a good way.
Free speech is one thing but hate speech a whole different ball game. This one should have made you shudder! His high-profile allies who were there to impress with their hatred of everyone who don’t conform to their idea of what a Trump presidency should look like had much to say but instead of impressing, they showed who they really are.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who goes by Kill Tony had this to say in a nutshell.
“There’s a lot going on. Like I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
Not funny Hinchcliffe and you just proved that you are not a comedian at all! Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, and lover of all things Trump mocked Harris’s racial identity and Sid Rosenberg called the Democrats, “A bunch of degenerates!” I guess he should know as he is currently swimming with the best of them! Another speaker called Harris, “the devil” and “the antichrist.” Hate seemed to be the theme of this rally as Nazi rhetoric took front and center.
Trump for all his “I don’t know how to put a muzzle on my mouth” persona went on to warn that his political rivals are the “enemy from within,” and added the press were the “enemy of the people.” A line he has repeatedly used in recent weeks to invoke fear, division and hatred. Orange Jesus or should I say, Hitler’s darling is not averse to using the military to quell protests from his critics as he had warned and not too succinctly either. The man is a fascist no less.
Trump has no plan, nothing concrete to speak of whatsoever but he sure knows how to blow a smokescreen when he needs to. The question is, how can someone who has no clue about what is going on, who is pro-violence, pro-hate, pro-Nazis and full of himself not to mention someone who can’t even finish a sentence let alone make sense of what he is talking about be nose-to-nose in the polls” It boggles the mind but these days nothing seems to be out of the ordinary as far as this election is concerned.
I’m sure Hitler, “the devil” incarnate was smiling up and winking, “Well done boys!”
At a town hall meeting in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday, Donald J. Trump decided to cut it short, said to hell with the questions and decided spontaneously to do it the Trump way. He asked his supporters to stay calm and to listen to some of his favorite songs from a rally playlist.
During that meeting, Orange Jesus decided that it would be safer for him not to answer any more questions because the man has no plan only a concept of a plan. So after two medical emergencies which caused interruptions, Grandpa Trump decided to turn it into a “music fest.” He wanted to show everyone there that he was a fun-loving guy and tried to boogie with the best of them but unfortunately the dance moves looked a little constipated and he came off looking like the fool that he is.
His favorite song seemed to be the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A,” as his tan gone wrong face broke into a smile and he did a couple of hand movements as he jived along. It was only 30 minutes into the meeting when the former President decided to make a detour, one of no significance BUT for the time spent answering five questions in total and aiming attacks against VP Kamala Harris. There was no getting him back to the question and answer session because he had decided he wanted a dance party and Orange Jesus always gets what he wants and if doesn’t he would instigate a riot to get it.
After the two medical emergencies, he said, “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music…..Who the hell wants to hear questions, right? ” Perhaps the unprecedented move suggested that he had everything in the bag and he was now looking at a clear win and an untethered path to the White House and questions were an absolute waste of time as far as he was concerned.
There were several songs played that night but “YMCA” made the man grin. I think the recurrent theme of “Young man” in the song made him feel young again. Biden is out of the race now so that makes Trump the oldest Presidential Nominee in U.S. history. Trump’s septuagenarian status does come into play, dance party or not!
The town hall meeting was bizarre to say the least but more than that, “not quite all there” comes to mind. If you ask me, the man is not only off his rocker but he belongs in it!
There is over three weeks to go until Election Day 2024. Let’s hope Orange Jesus never makes it to the White House again, ruse or not. Fingers and toes crossed!
