The “Trap” Is Sprung!

My summation of the SOTU speech was ma bust….but there were things happening that people should know about…..like the devious trap he set for the Dems during his speech….

A clever turn for Little Donny….

Expect one moment from President Trump’s State of the Union to live on repeatedly in political ads as the midterms near, one that involves the volatile issue of immigration. Coverage:

  • The moment: About an hour into his speech, Trump declared: “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle: if you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Watch it here, via NBC News.
  • Split room: Republicans stood en masse and applauded, while Democrats remained seated. “Isn’t that a shame?” Trump said, referring to the Democrats, per Fox News. “You should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
  • The trap: The Washington Post reports that Trump himself came up with the idea to create a viral moment. The story uses the word “trap” to describe his plan, as does a New York Times analysis. “Trump set his trap,” writes Shawn McCreesh. “With one maneuver, Mr. Trump divided the room, asking viewers to see the two camps as he saw them: There were the Good Americans and there were those willing to jeopardize the country’s security.”
  • Going viral: Already, the conservative nonprofit American Sovereignty is out with an ad highlighting the moment, reports Politico. “Remember this when you head to the polls in 2026, 2028, and beyond,” tweeted the Trump War Room, along with video. Stephen Miller and Vice President JD Vance also were trumpeting the moment, as were multiple GOP heavyweights.
  • The bet: Even as polls show Trump underwater on immigration and the economy ranking as voters’ top concern, the president’s camp is certain that immigration still motivates the Republican base. As the Politico analysis puts it, “Republicans are betting President Donald Trump just handed them the lifeline they need to win on immigration again.”
  • Democrats: They remain hopeful that Americans will see the administration’s immigration tactics as too harsh, and were shrugging off the criticism. “Of course we support Americans,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters. “We’re not going to be a prop in Donald Trump’s little show.”

This was a genius move especially with an election looming on the horizon….no matter what the Dems would do it will be used against them in campaigns.

There was NO way for the Dems to come out of that theatrical moment unscathed.

At this point it is Donny 1, Dems 0….Dems need to be more prepared for this type of trick from the master scammer.

Maybe this will get people interested in the SOTU speech…..

“I Am The Destroyer Of Countries”

It appears that our leader (I use the term loosely) that it is his right too destroy countries that deems unworthy.

He proved just what a complete idiot he is and his lack of knowledge of the Constitution…..this after SCOTUS slipped him a mickey on his dumbass tariffs.

Reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling his tariffs policy unconstitutional, U.S. President Donald Trump launched into an unhinged rant on Friday confirming that he considers himself above the law as any tinpot authoritarian leader would.

The court ruled 6-3 that the U.S. Constitution makes clear that only Congress can levy tariffs, which are really taxes, on the U.S. population. Thus Trump’s extensive tariffs, imposed since January 2025, are illegal and American consumers and companies are due a refund of around $200 billion, the court said.

The ruling unleashed Trump in full psychotic mode, railing against justices as “fools and lapdogs;” the plaintiffs in the lawsuit the court ruled on as “sleazebags, major sleazebags” serving an unnamed foreign power and he announced a new 10 percent worldwide tariff “over and above our normal tariffs already being charged” in defiance of the court.

Trump argues he is still allowed to impose tariffs over the heads of Congress by the authority of the 1974 Trade Act. That act allows a president to unilaterally impose tariffs of up to 15 percent (hence the new 10 percent measures), but only for 150 days, after which Congress must continue them.

However, Friday’s ruling means he must vacate the existing tariffs, which he is so far refusing to do.

Trump tries to justify his existing tariffs as having been imposed under an emergency act. But the court struck that down, arguing in essence there is no economic or national security emergency in the United States today.

In his madness, Trump furiously claimed he had authority to impose embargoes and “destroy countries” but the Supreme Court dared rule he couldn’t even put a single dollar tariff on a nation’s imports. He exclaimed:

“I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country. In other words, I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country. I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo. I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge one dollar because that’s not what it says, and that’s not the way it even reads. I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can’t charge any money. So I’m allowed to destroy the country, but I can’t charge them a little fee.

Think of that. How ridiculous is that? I’m allowed to embargo them, I’m allowed to tell them you can’t do business in the United States anymore, ‘we want you out of here,’ but I want to charge them $10. I can’t do that.

It’s incorrect, their decision is incorrect. But it doesn’t matter because we have very powerful alternatives … .”

In fact, Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution asserts Congress has the authority to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and to regulate commerce with foreign nations.  Embargoes, such as those on Cuba, North Korea and Iran, are imposed by Congress, not the White House (unless there is an emergency).

Trump: ‘I Can Destroy Countries’

This arrogant twat needs to be chopped down a peg or two….he clearly thinks he is an absolute ruler…..time for him learn differently.

Any thoughts?
