Reality vs. Make-Believe

According to CNN, “Trump’s lying is most exceptional in its relentlessness, a never-ending avalanche of wrongness that can bury even the most devoted fact-checkers.” They went on to add, “He has found his hits, and he’ll keep playing them no matter how many times they are debunked.”

There seems to be no end to the lies and misinformation coming from the man who wants to be the next President of these United States. Does he care? Not one iota! Furthermore, if you thought Orange Jesus was full of hot air, you’re not wrong there either.

Here are some of his most recent lies coming from his hyped-up imaginary world. These are just some examples of why the man should never set foot in the White House again.

“Americans can’t venture out to buy a loaf of bread without getting shot, mugged or raped.”

“Immigrants are eating cats and dogs.”

“World War III is around the corner.”

“The world is a dark place under the Biden-Harris administration.”

“The insurrectionists were peaceful people.”

Let’s add his obsession about crowd size to the lies above and you know why his imagination knows no bounds where he is concerned. He boasted that at his January 6th speech, the one where he instigated his supporters to storm the Capitol, was much bigger than at Martin Luther King’s iconic, “I Have a Dream,” speech in 1963.

His other obsession seems to be with his private parts. “Look at my hands, are they small hands?” he once asked. Then he added, “I guarantee you there’s no problem.” Hmm….Let’s ask Stormy Daniels, the lady in the know. This is what she had to say. She describes it as, “smaller than average,” but “not freakishly small.” Another myth debunked!

The problem is Trump lets his imagination take him to places where it should not go, basically to no man’s land. His false claims, lies and misinformation is fooling no one but he keeps them coming and each time a new one is debunked, more crop up as if on cue.

Personal attacks and hitting below the belt is another one of his favorite past times. The man can come up with some doozies at the drop of a coin and if you have so much as an ounce of intelligence, you know that none of it is the truth but coming from the mouth of a future wannabe president it is astounding not to mention frightening. If only he would spend all that wasted energy on something that makes more sense like a well thought-out plan but no chance there because he has none, none that makes sense anyway!

His recent attack on Kamala Harris, his arch rival is mind-blowing. He called her, “mentally impaired” and that she should be impeached and prosecuted. At a rally in Pennsylvania, he said, “Sad. But lying Kamala Harris was born that way.” Excuse me? What way?

“There’s something wrong with Kamala. And I just don’t know what it is but there is definitely something missing.”

Hmm…maybe it’s your stupidity that’s missing. Furthermore, her slate is clean while yours definitely is not. Just your legal problems alone are enough to sink your boat! According to Trump, the smart and intelligent lady is, “stupid,” “dumb as a rock” and add to that not sure if she’s Indian or Black and you’ve got the whole gamut of his argument as to why she should not be the next President of the United States.

Now, if you look at Trump’s false claims, lies, misinformation and legal problems, you know exactly why Orange Jesus should not have his finger on the nuclear button ever again, let alone run the country!

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest? Orange Jesus is an outstanding example if nothing else.

The Company You Keep

“When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.” Japanese Proverb

Donald J. Trump loves the strong men type, more specifically the dictator types and that is a well-known fact. The man who once called Neo-Nazis and the like “fine people on both sides,” is not shy about his approval for autocratic dictators.

However, his latest obsession with Laura Loomer, hard-right conspiracy theorist and travel buddy has definitely raised more than a few eyebrows.

The 31-year-old who is known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric and for spreading conspiracy theories one of which is that illegal immigrants from Haiti are eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city which has caused quite a stir. This baseless claim was later regurgitated by Trump on the debate stage between him and Harris.

If that wasn’t enough, Ms. Loomer took it upon herself to come out of the closet as far as her “racist” self is concerned. How better to do it than to bring race into the playbook and she is no novice as far as that is concerned. This time, she went gunning for Kamala Harris by posting, “The White House will smell like curry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a call centre” if she wins the November presidential election. Typical racist insult which comes from the underbelly of racist propaganda. Instead of shutting it down, Trump had this to say:

“I don’t control Laura. She’s a free spirit. She’s strong and has strong opinions, but that’s not up to me.” There’s that word again. “Strong” seems to get his attention if you know what I mean. It also seems to get his juices flowing and he refuses to cut ties with her.

Laura Loomer is an outspoken advocate of all things racist. This far-right activist and provocateur is known for pushing the boundaries of what is not acceptable and her views are rooted in extreme idealogy and conspiracy theories.

According to Loomer, 9/11 was an “inside job.” She calls herself a “proud Islamophobe.” She has posted derogatory comments about Muslim immigrants and stoked the fires of fear and division. She has been banned from major social media platforms including Twitter (X), Facebook and Instagram because of hate speech and inflammatory propaganda. However, Elon Musk has reinstated her account which says a lot doesn’t it?

COVID-19, according to Loomer, was a “scam,” and that it was aligned with broader government controls. There’s plenty more of such rhetoric but you get the picture.

If you want to know the true character of a man, watch who he praises and keeps company with and it will take you to the heart of the matter. Trump is a wanna be dictator and rubbing shoulders with similar people who do the “speaking” for him is his agenda. If you want to know the true character of the man, look no further than the company he keeps!

Slam, Dunk & BOOM!

It was a debate of historic proportions and it kept most of us glued to our seats till the very end. The man had no chance against the woman who knew exactly what to do to take him out and she did exactly that. It’s surprising we didn’t hear Trump bawl, “Mummy!” before it was all over or maybe he did.

Harris was a presence to be contended with. She was brilliant, poised, stunning with her comebacks and she showed him the door without having to raise her voice one single iota. He was DONE FOR before he knew what hit him. Trump was left babbling incoherently about crowd size and his own self-importance only to find that the lady knew better. She slammed him with, “That’s rich!’ when he talked about criminals and brought it back to him and laid out his own criminal record before him taunting him with, “Have you forgotten about those?” That was the nail in the coffin moment and it only went downhill from there. The bully was soundly chastised and sent on his way to go play somewhere else.

She was presidential, standing tall head held high and gave the performance of a lifetime. “Orange Jesus,” on the other hand, was left licking his wounds when it was all over. I see that debate over and over in my mind’s eye and there is no question in my mind as to who won the debate last night. It was evident from the get go. Her message was clear. “Don’t mess with me” screamed her body language and if that wasn’t clear enough, her I take no prisoners stance did the rest. She clearly outmatched Trump in every respect and that too was evident.

The 90 minutes flew by in seconds or so it seemed and when it was all over, Kamala Harris emerged like the Titan she is and showed the world, she is ready, willing and able to take on the job as the 47th President of the United States. She had just slayed the MAGA giant with nothing more than common sense and let’s not forget intelligence. Next to her, Trump came across as a fumbling old man who had lost his way. When she called him, “Fella” we knew she had the upper hand and that she was going to run circles around him. She did.

The whisper coming back last night was, “Trump who?!!” It was a slam dunk and one of majestic proportions!

Let’s DO This!

Trump’s Word Fiasco

Trump was asked this question at the prestigious Economic Club of New York.

Question: “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable and what specific piece of legislation will you advance?”

It was a straightforward question coming from the founder of the nonprofit organization Girls Who Code. However, it was one flew over the cuckoo’s nest for Mr. Trump. It had nothing to do with Harris so that took away his power. God, this was a hard one so he went on a nearly two-minute response that made no sense and it did not answer the question either. It was a roundabout way of saying, “I don’t know!” Give me something simple like Kamala’s looks, I’m sure I can do a number on that one!

Trump’s answer: “Well, I would do that, and we’re one sitting down-you know I was, somebody we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that-because look, child care is childcare, it’s – couldn’t, you know, it’s something, you have to have it in this country you have to have it.”

That was just part of his answer but you get the drift. I had a hard time figuring out what ‘Grandpa Trump’ was trying to get across. His sentences, if you can call them that, were half-cocked and made no sense but that is Trump tried and true. It was plain gibberish coming out of his mouth and to him, he had given the perfect answer, Trump fashion.

The only thing that was clear is that Trump has no policy commitments other than he wants to win the presidency on the sheer magnitude of his bigger than life persona but alas, that too is fading. How can you make sense out of something that makes no sense. You can’t.

Tomorrow, he’ll be facing his nemesis on the debate stage and it doesn’t bode well for him. Harris will step onstage, her wits about her, her 59-year-old self gleaming, her smile sparkling, hair perfectly coiffed and with answers ready to be shot off as she gets the questions thrown at her. Trump, well, the poor guy will be slaughtered even before he knows what hit him. He’ll claim she had the answers and there was something nefarious going on but if you can’t stand the heat, it’s time to get out of the kitchen!

You need a clear head and lots of commonsense to run a country but if you can’t even give a clear answer to a policy question than it’s time for you to hang up your political shoes. Let’s not forget, he couldn’t even complete his sentences so that they made some kind of sense was more than alarming. ‘Grandpa Trump’ it’s time for you to go.

The Battle of the Titans Again?

Not quite. Next week’s debate will pitch a tired old man against a vibrant, young and altogether candidate who knows exactly where to strike while “old man” loses touch with reality, which he is known to do.

The ABC debate will take place on September 10th in Philadelphia. It is a much awaited event. The two candidates will come face to face with gloves off and ready to do battle. Donald J. Trump is already screaming “not fair!” He claims Ms. Harris was, “going to get the questions in advance.” The man is delusional if not a tad crazy. Feeling your age Mr. Trump?

The debate rules were agreed upon on May 15th. No new agreements have been made. One of the rules is, “The microphones for Vice President and former President Donald J. Trump will be muted when it is not their turn to speak. That would be something to watch wouldn’t it? Ms. Harris has a way of getting under Trump’s thin skin and he is known for hitting way below the belt. “Female” brings the worst out of him it seems. Only “pu**y grabbing” is out of the question this time around. He’ll have to toe the line. The lady is known for setting the stage on fire. Trump not so much.

I’m sure preparations will be strenuous boxing style I mean. Rocky Balboa comes to mind but “agent orange” will need more than training to get him fighting fight and thinking on his feet. Perhaps steroids? What do you think?

“Debating is not about winning or losing, it’s about refining your arguments and evolving your perspectives.” Unknown

The man doesn’t stand a chance. Kamala Harris can do the debate with her eyes closed. Trump, on the other hand, will have a hard time keeping to questions asked because all he’ll want to do is stomp on his nemesis and try to drown out her voice any which way he can. Either way, my money is on Kamala Harris. She will emerge the winner. And Trump? Well, he’ll be the sore loser as he usually is crying, “Foul!” Sour grapes Trump is no match for the Titan who is going to slay him with her sweet smile, lots of hutzpah, intelligence and know-how! It will be a knockdown like no other and no one will be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Muhammed Ali

The Wannabe Dictator

Whatever Trump is, his love of dictators is plain to see. The wannabe dictator has no qualms about making that fact clear. Crystal clear that is.

In an exchange with long time friend and buddy, Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump had this to say when asked about his ‘dictator’ comment. Instead of toning down the rhetoric, the former Commander in Chief let loose, Trump style.

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.” That was in 2023.

Fast forward to 2024 and Mr. Trump was asked again during his Time magazine interview. Same question but this time around he replied, “A lot of people like it.” He got a swift rebuke from the Biden-Harris camp. Spokesperson James Singer had this to say.

“In his own words, he is promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one,’ use the military against the American people, punish those who stand against him, condone violence done on his behalf and put his own revenge and retribution ahead of what is best for America. Bottom line: Trump is a danger to the Constitution and a threat to our democracy.”

Mr. Trump’s enthusiasm for autocrats is a well-known fact.

President Xi, according to Trump is “strong like granite and he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron hand.” Putin is a “genius” for taking over a country by just walking in. He was talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He praised Saddam Hussein for being good at killing terrorists and Kim Jong Un as a terrific person simply because Kim wrote him beautiful letters and they fell in love! Let’s not forget the evil one. I mean Hitler. Trump has great admiration for the man who orchestrated the worst genocide in modern history. His regime killed 6 million Jewish people and eradicated the lives of hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities. According to one of Trump’s former chiefs of staff, he wanted to emulate Hitler’s leadership methods during his time in the White House.

Fawning over dictators is his mantra. Why? Perhaps because he wants total control of the United States. Remember him telling voters, that they would never need to vote again if he returns to the presidency in November? In his own words, he said, ” You have to vote. After that you don’t have to worry about voting any more. I don’t care because we’re going to fix it, the country will be fixed.”

Scary? Absolutely! Delusional? No doubt about it! Crazy? A straitjacket comes to mind but I won’t touch that one. Dangerous? There are no ifs or ands or buts about it!

“Stupid is as stupid does.”

Trump’s modus operandi is always the same. Open mouth and insert foot! The man doesn’t care if it’s the truth, lies or made-up exaggerations. It’s all fair game to him as long as it gives him the upper hand but that is only in his mind. We know better and the fact-checkers know better too. His racist-tinged lies, inaccuracies and hoopla are affecting his campaign but he doesn’t care. Trump knows best because he is the ‘man’ as far as he is concerned.

On Thursday, he stepped up to the podium again and inserted more than his foot in his mouth this time around. He degraded veterans and gold-star families by saying that mega-donor, Miriam Adelson is a national hero. Not realizing what he had just said, he went on his merry way. According to the self-proclaimed ‘stable genius’ they are one and the same. “The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.”

Hmm…..what else would you expect from someone who received five military draft deferments during the Vietnam War and is absolutely clueless about what it means to put your life on the line for your country.

“Ignorance is the absence of knowledge, stupidity is the refusal to acquire or accept it.” Unknown

Kevin D. Williamson says in his article, “Lazy, Stupid, Childish,” that “Trump’s three big problems as a candidate are precisely the same qualities that mitigated the worst of what might have been a much worse Trump presidency the last time around. He is lazy, he is stupid, and he is childish.”

Perfectly said but let’s add ‘crazy’ to that as well. He further adds, “Trump’s stupidity is wrapped up in his laziness. Anyone who has heard Trump speak or read his unedited writing knows that he is not an especially intelligent man. But his native stupidity is compounded by his ignorance – the fact that he is too lazy to do his homework and acquire the kind of grasp of the issues that would make him a more effective candidate.”

No chance of that ever happening because Mr. Trump marches to his own drumbeat and his stupidity arises from that one simple fact. Mr. Williamson knows exactly why Trump’s stupidity is front and center. He says, “there is a reason he wanders all over the place in his speeches – it isn’t only arrogance and self-centeredness. He’s dumber than nine chickens.”

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Martin Luther King

Michael Moore, “Fahrenheit 9/11” director is hopeful that Donald Trump will do more of the same as he faces off with Kamala Harris on the debate stage in September. His prediction is that, “Trump could struggle when facing the Democratic VP onstage. I think I’m going to see what I was hoping for for eight years. Once anybody gets under that thin skin anything could happen. On live TV? Trump could explode, start talking like a 12-year-old, or get up and leave.”

Or, he could resort to name-calling, race-baiting and jump up and down like the spoiled little brat he is. Regardless of what he does, he will be facing off against a much better candidate who knows where to strike while the iron is hot. And that folks is the absolute truth and it will be something to watch.

Jealous Much?

The man of the hour walked up to the podium at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club with some papers held in his hand and a display of food items displayed prominently to his side. These included coffee, milk, cereal and breakfast sausages. However, he opened his mouth and immediately went on a rant and pounced on his main rival and nemesis, Kamala Devi Harris. She’s got him by the ba**s folks and the man is squealing like a pig!

The rant is the same old song and dance. It has nothing to do with policy issues but more to do with Trump’s pet peeve of the moment. How dare a woman of mixed race, he’s not sure if she’s Black or Indian, be in the lead position? His other disgruntled observation is that the woman in question is pretty and he went on to grudgingly admit that they had similar looks, meaning similar to his wife. The problem or rather the truth is, Kamala Harris can run circles around Melania Trump if compared to looks AND intelligence. Harris is a natural beauty with a natural raucous laugh and Mrs. Trump has had many procedures done to hone her looks. She has had lip fillers to boost that pout and Botox for her almost perfect complexion not to mention whatever procedure it took to get those “chipmunk eyes!” Melania got into the US on an Einstein Visa which is usually reserved for immigrants with “extraordinary ability” and “sustained national and international acclaim.” She was a model and dating Donald Trump in 2000 and her visa was approved in 2001. To get an EB-1, you have to meet three of 10 criteria proving excellence in their field.” Which criteria did Melania meet? I am not touching that with a 10 foot pole!

Coming back to the Bedminster rant, there was no structure or meaning to his speech. It was dotted with inaccuracies that bordered on insanity. His usual racist-tinged rant went so far as to warn Americans that under Harris “everyone gets health care” meaning all the murderous and no-good immigrants pouring into the country included. He ranted about windmills killing thousands of birds and destroying the landscape and that he was buddies with the head of the Taliban because the leader once referred to him as, “your excellency.” I bet that pumped up his you know what and I’m not referring to his “tiny” hands either! After ranting on and on, he called Harris the liberal version of Margaret Thatcher. No ifs or buts about it, the man wakes and goes to bed with Harris on his mind. She’s coming on strong and to a man who loves grabbing women by the crotch, this is totally unacceptable. Women are beneath him and the narcissist and self-proclaimed “saviour” can’t stand it! He is throwing the worst temper tantrum ever even as he watches his campaign go up in smoke!

It is chaos all around and it is not going to get any better. The more he sinks in the polls, the more he will come out swinging with UTTER NONSENCE! Do us all a favor and stop giving conferences! It is not helping you but than again keep giving them and you might just give Harris the winning hand! Looking forward to your next rant-filled and nothing more conference!

The Musk Hoopla!

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!

Trump’s Downward Spiral

The man with the not so HUGE hands and the perpetual orange face decided to take it one further when faced with questions at the National Black Journalists Association Convention. Shocking is not the word for it but stupidity sure is. His answers did not make sense and his rant, well that is typical Trump.

He went from calling a reporter rude, nasty and wasting his time and as if that wasn’t enough he resorted to racial tropes saying that VP Kamala Harris “happened to turn Black” during her political career as if it was a pre-planned choice.

The man is old, his cognitive skills are declining, his IQ is questionable especially in light of his recent rantings on why Harris, a product of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father should NOT call herself BLACK! His vicious insults hit below the belt and he takes the saying, “When they go low, we go higher,” to a new all-time LOW. The man doesn’t even know what that means. His motto is, “When they go low, I go much lower and stay there to wrestle in the mud!” Perhaps, insults is all he has left of a crumbling political landscape as he watches it take a dive knowing full well that he doesn’t stand a chance against Harris, debate or otherwise.

Harris has made it crisp and clear. “If you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.” The gauntlet has been thrown, let’s see if the orange TV personality and former president will accept the challenge. One thing’s for sure, it will be a massacre of the worst kind. Going up against a former prosecutor is a daunting task but pairing it with a much younger individual and you’ve got disaster on your hands. “Old,” “feeble,” and all the other derogatory insults he piled on Biden is coming back to haunt him and rightfully so. What goes around, comes around.

“Ding-Dong,” or not, Harris is ready to trump Trump and not in a subtle manner either. The lady has her wits about her and she knows exactly where to hit to draw the least amount of blood but enough to slay the dragon or rather an “old” and “feeble” man who deserves trumping. She is capable of doing it without so much as an insult or histrionics. The wannable dictator and convicted felon needs to be shown the door and who better than Kamala Harris to do just that.

Harris is well on her way to victory having garnered enough votes to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and having raised $310 million US in July, double the amount Trump did in the same month. She is gaining in strength and popularity and driving Trump off his rocker!

Rihanna said it best in her song, “Take a Bow,” and it goes like this.

“But you put on quite a show

Really had me goin’

But now it’s time to go

Curtains finally closin’

That was quite a show

Very entertaining

But it’s over now

Go on and take a bow.”

Hey Donald, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
