This past week was full of Donny-isms…..from a continuing shutdown to possible attacks on Nigeria to Mexico, losses in the major elections, and of course more steaming bullshit to keep us all comforted.
The best story for me was as we all know Trump’s boy lost the election in NYC and now he orders the new mayor he needs to be nice to him….you know because he, Donny, is so nice to others.
The East Wing thing is still controversial….and getting more expensive by the day.
Then there is the other proposed Donny construction fantasy….the Arc de Trump….
The price tag of President Donald Trump’s planned victory arch has been revealed — and it has eight zeroes, according to a new report.
The proposed monument, which is set to be built in the lead-up to the country’s 250th anniversary next year, is estimated to cost $100 million, according to Axios, citing unnamed White House insiders.
“There’s a small arch. A middle arch. A large arch,” the source added. “And he likes the large one, of course, as long as it’s big and gold and white.”
The report did not say how the massive undertaking will be financed, though sources noted that Trump has raised $1.9 billion from private donors to help pad his war chest and pay for various construction projects, including his ballroom, which led to the demolition of the East Wing.
The wealthy cannot do anything to help the country but can donate millions upon millions to massage Donny ego.
Why does the Oval Office need a sign?
There seems to be a sign now directing people to the Oval Office…..why is that needed?
Donny is having a problem with people that criticize him….his thinking that it is illegal and treasonous…..seriously?
Of course antifa has returned to the news…..
The president’s executive order describes the group as a “militarist, anarchist enterprise,” which calls for the overthrow of the federal government, especially targeting law enforcement.
Antifa “uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists,” according to the executive order.
The president’s order says the group targets young Americans as part of its recruiting efforts, while radicalizing and training them to engage in “violence and suppression of political activities.”
Antifa “employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism,” the executive order added.
What crap!
They want to destroy the structure of the movement….please someone tell me the leader’s name, where is the HQ, how much is membership, etc etc.
AS usual Donny proves that he slept through high school geography class…
Think Donald Trump is a bad president? He probably would have been an even worse geography teacher.
And he proved that in spades on Wednesday during a speech at the American Business Forum in Miami, when he confused the country of South Africa with the continent of South America.
“For generations, Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa,” Trump said. “If you take a look at what is going on in parts of South Africa. Look at what is going on in South Africa. Look at South America, what’s going on. We have a G20 meeting in South Africa. South Africa shouldn’t even be in the Gs anymore.”
South Africa has never had a communist government, so its citizens have never had to “flee communist tyranny” for Miami. What a bonehead!
You may recall the Donny lost his bid for the Peace Prize…..but not to worry his butt boy the head of FIFA has answer for that….
A close ally is creating a new honor that could help take the sting out of President Trump’s failure to win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. FIFA has announced it will present its own award next month in Washington, officially named the FIFA Peace Prize-Football Unites the World. Trump plans to attend the Dec. 5 event at the Kennedy Center, where the draw for next year’s World Cup will be held. Gianni Infantino, head of the international soccer body, is a frequent White House visitor and has joined Trump on international trips, the New York Times reports.
“In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it’s fundamental to recognize the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace,” Infantino said Wednesday in a statement, per USA Today. Trump and his supporters have argued that he fits that description and lashed out when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela last month. Infantino has also given Trump one of three official replicas of the men’s World Cup trophy and called their relationship “absolutely crucial” to FIFA’s World Cup plans.
Just another Donny ass kisser.
South Korea has given Donny what he has always wanted….an official crown….
“I’m not a king,” President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One a little more than a week ago. “I work my a– off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all.” He does, however, now have a crown. The New York Times reports Trump was on Wednesday presented with a replica of an ancient crown from the Silla Kingdom, which controlled much of the Korean Peninsula from the first century BC to the 10th century AD. But it was a second gift given to him by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung that seemed to truly impress.
In addition to the foot-tall reproduction of the gold headpiece pulled from Gyeongju’s royal tombs in 1973—a spokesperson for Lee described it as the “largest and most extravagant” of six gold crowns that were removed from the tombs—the Washington Post reports Trump was given the Grand Order of Mugunghwa. It’s South Korea’s highest civil honor, and Trump is the only US president to have been given the decoration.
That should soothe his ego for now.
Speaking of ego….guess what else he wants his name on…….
White House officials said Saturday they’re fans of naming the new stadium for Washington’s NFL team after President Trump, after ESPN reported that an intermediary has told the Commanders’ ownership group that he wants it to bear his name. Trump could deliver the message in person on Sunday when he is expected to watch the Commanders play the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, per the AP. American veterans are scheduled to be honored at halftime.
“That would surely be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible,” said Karoline Leavitt, presidential press secretary. Under a deal announced in April between the team and the District of Columbia, the team will return to the nation’s capital in a new stadium expected to cost nearly $4 billion. It will be built on the site of the RFK Stadium, where the team played for more than three decades. Demolition has begun for the project.
A pathetic piece of ass kissing.
You will never guess who won the POTY award…..
Melania Trump is set to receive the “Patriot of the Year” award despite having spent less time at the White House than any former first lady.
The first lady will be honored at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards on Thursday. Melania will attend the awards ceremony and will be joining them live on stage. Host Sean Hannity announced the news, saying that Erika Kirk, the widow of the late Republican commentator Charlie Kirk, will also be in attendance. The annual event honors everyday heroes and patriots “who have shown unwavering dedication to the values that make our country great,” according to Fox.

Just what in Hell has she done to be a “patriot” of the year?
Finally a MAGA supporter (?) or use to be is once again doing something that is right…..
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Wednesday called out Israel for its heavy bombardment in Gaza and the killing of dozens of children in the Strip.
“Israel’s military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials,” Greene wrote on X. “46 CHILDREN!!! Are these not war crimes?”
Israel’s heavy airstrikes that began on Tuesday pounded targets across Gaza and also killed 20 women, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The ministry said that another 253 people were wounded, including 78 children and 84 women.
In recent months, Greene has been outspoken in her opposition to US military aid to Israel and has introduced bills attempting to strip assistance to Israel from the annual Pentagon spending bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act.
Back in July, Greene became the first Republican in Congress to label Israel’s campaign in Gaza a genocide. “It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,” she said.

I still want to know what her game is…..is this a rebrand for the mid-terms or is she truly developing more than a confrontational lifestyle.
My friends That Was The Week That Was…..a pathetic display of crappy policies and vanity.
This is it for today…..go out enjoy yourselves and as always….Be Well and Be Safe…..

“lego ergo scribo”
Reading MTG’s comments this past week on Twitter, I found myself agreeing with her! When did the crazy woman wake up and smell the coffee? Or is she hoping to get the nomination next time round? She is up to something.
My best bit of the week was Trump snoozing in his chair in the Oval Office during the speech from Dr Oz. Then when a guy collapsed nearby, he stood up looking totally dazed and confused, as if he thought he was still dreaming. It is incredible to think that this man is actually the President of The United States.
Best wishes, Pete.
He always looks dazed and confused these days, and he probably had no idea (nor cared) that someone had passed out cold behind him. I still suspect strongly that he’s no longer running the show, he’s the silent partner and his handlers are feeding him things to say. This is totally painful to watch. Granted, I dislike Trump as much as anyone, just on principle (of which he has little), but he’s been turned into a mouth piece, as near as I can tell, by other people who have their own agendas. May they all get hit by a bus. Twice.
It is incredible to think that this man is actually the President of The United States.
We try NOT to think about it … !!
She has me thinking the same…..my daughter thinks his, Trump, mind is going…..chuq
Howdy Chuq!
My understanding is that Maddog is gearing up for a run for the presidency in 2028. She’s trying to cynically exploit Trump’s weaknesses while maintaining her MAGA bona fides.
All of the fake made up awards that Trump is accumulating for himself and Melanie are part and parcel of the totalitarian playbook. There like those vanity awards you can buy for yourself, like being included in a Who’s Who Accountants or door closers or nose pickers or whatever list they offer. The operative term, though, is vanity. It makes Trump easily manipulable and that makes his narcissism a national security threat.
Huzzah!
Jack

The wealthy cannot do anything to help the country but can donate millions upon millions to massage Donny ego. — Spot on!
I do enjoy your blog, but reading the several and various imbecilic acts of Trump, along with the multitude of deeds carried out by his ass-kissing goons … well, sometimes it’s almost too much. 🤯
Thanx for the kind words…..it is too much that is why I try to take the weekend away from the news. chuq
