First some blog bidness: last week was INSANE!
4 out of 5 posts over a two day period were political themed entries about Trump fuckery.
You don't deserve that. Even though statiostically you're likely to be a Russian bot.
I don't deserve that.
So today's poltical themed entry about Trump fuckery is ONE post on ONE day. Yeah, it might go on a bit (there is SO MUCH fuckery!) but it will be contained into ONE singular sensation of a blog post.
So let's get busy!
By starting with the G7 economic summit for 2026. Here's a photo of the gathered world leaders standing together to convince us they are one big happy family.
What was remarkable to me was this next photo taken after the gang broke out of formation to talk among themselves.
Except for one person.
Poor Li'l Donnie, unloved and friendless. Nobody wants to talk to this motherfucker, do they?
Well, years of insulting and berating allies will have the effect of making those allies not want to talk to an ignorant, fear mongering sociopath.
Also, there is the smell. Donald Trump does kind of look like he just filled his Depends.
Main thing, did der Führer have a good time? Trump said, “It’s been a very successful trip. A lot of things have happened that have been very good.”
Then Trump also thought the boos he got at the 3rd Nicks/Spurs NBA Finals game were cheers so who can tell with this guy?
If Trump's assessment of his G7 experience seems vague and noncommital, that's pretty much Trump's "strategy".
He wanted to brag about how the United States kicked Iran's ass and how we got everything he wanted out of the deal to end the war he started. Without actually explaining the deal.
He was vague on the details but insistent to cast the deal as Iran's surrender to America's awesome overwhelming might.
Once deets on the deal started coming out, it looked like a surrender all right. Just not Iran's.
Which as of Saturday morning, Iran had closed the Strait again.
Among the line items of this "deal" (formally known as a "memorandum of understanding" or MOU) is $300 billion (yep, that is with a "B") to help Iran rebuild the shit we blew up.
Ostensibly this fund will be contributed to by the United States AND our gulf state allies. But since our gulf state allies did NOT blow up Iran's shit and did in fact have their shit blown up by Iran, one has to wonder how much the American takepayers will be on the hook for damage caused by Trump's li'l excursion into Iran.
While Trump was giving our erstwhile enemy a real sweetheart deal, he was pissing off an ally and potential friend.
During an interview Trump claimed that Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni had “begged” for a photo with him during the G7 summit and that he conceded to the photo op because he felt sorry for her.
Wow! He showed restraint because the usual narrative of the "someone begged him for something and he gave in because he's a nice guy" lie that he loves to tell frequently includes the detail of "with tears in their eyes".
SInce Italy's premier is a woman, maybe he just assumed we would know she had tears in her eyes.
While we in America have grown bored with this overused "someone begged him for something" tall tale, Giorgia Meloni was NOT putting up with his bullshit and had this to say on the matter:
“Donald Trump’s statements are completely fabricated. I am frankly stunned.... But there’s one thing he must remember: Italy and I do not beg.”
It should be noted that Giorgia Meloni is far from being any kind of progressive liberal. As a member of Italy's right wing political party, she is a conservative whose policies would fall in line with Trump's.
Meloni was the lone European head of state to attend his 2025 inauguration.
Why would she need to ask for a photo with Li'l Donnie? She already had one from October of last year.

| "Why are his hands so crusty?" "Is this woman here to take my lunch order?" |
Italy is taking this shit seriously. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani abruptly cancelled a planned trip to the United States this weekend, calling Trump’s claims “serious and offensive” toward Meloni and all of Italy.
Why would Trump insult an ally with such an egregious and unneccessary lie? Because he's gotten away with it for so long.
He's claimed repeatedly that various politicians have begged for his endorsement (and often with tears in their eyes) which he granted magnaminously out of the goodness of his heart.
Typically der Führer goes with the "someone begged" lie when someone he supported doesn't capitulate to his whims. In the case of Premier Giorgia Meloni, she was on Team Trump until she failed to roll over when Trump asked... No, I'm going to say "begged"--- NATO leaders to help with his war with Iran.
A war HE started with NO input from or consultation with those same leaders.
Meloni made it clear (as did other NATO leaders) that Italy did not start the war and was not part of the war and would not join that effort.
Of course Trump would not miss a chance to diminish and demean her. And the fact that the leader of Italy is a woman, well, that's just gravy. (Hmmmm! Gravy....)
There's never been a woman Trump wasn't eager to diminish and demean.
And he's still at.
Instead of leaving bad enough alone, Trump of course doubled down on this lie on his decaying moth eaten Truth Social that Meloni (who's name he misspelled) asked him over and over and over again for a photo op and he only relented because he felt sorry for her as she is not doing well in Italy.
Here's what Meloni said in her pushback in response to Trump's pushback: "As for my popularity, being your friend has certainly not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours."
I really do not know what Meloni's poll numbers look like in Italy and neither does Donald Trump. The accusation of governmental leaders sucking at their job is SOP for anyone who dares to challenge Grump Trump.
Meanwhile (and I swear I am going to wrap this up), there is the matter of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
As I posted last week, Trump's big plan to make the pool "American Flag Blue" ... oh, how can I put this?
Has not met the high expectations set out in Donald Trump's fever deam delusions.
Or...
Is royally fucked up!
Or maybe he's redefining the color blue as a pea soup or puke green?
As I wrote before, the reflecting pool which was built in 1922 has been a pain in the ass to maintain since 1922.
It is a shallow body of water in a hot and humid climate. Algae was always going to be a problem and has always been a problem as much as Li'l Donnie wants to petulantly blame Obama and Biden.
Painting the pool dark blue only exacerbates the problem.
Darker colors absorbs heat which makes the shallow water of the reflecting pool even hotter which exponentially increases the growth of algae.
Trump awarded a supporter named Eddie Wood with a no bid contract that cost the American taxpayers nearly $14 billion. Trump insisted the contractor had done good work for him on swimming pools at his resorts.
- It's a reflecting pool, not a swimming pool.
- A review of Eddie Wood's businesses finds NO reference to working on pools, swimming, reflecting or limpid.
- Which may explain why the work that was done is breaking apart.
Sheets of blue paint are bubbling up to the surface of the emerald hued murk.
The answer to this disaster is.... sabatoge!
A MAGA supporter posted online that clearly his lord and savior did a GOOD job fixing the pool and the only explanation for the algae infestation is sabatoge by liberals who wanna make der Führer look bad.
Li'l Donnie likes that idea and ran with it on his decaying rat infested Truth Social that his good work on the pool is being undone by his enemies and even claims law enforcement will be looking into this.
The National Parks Service is addressing the algae problem with:
1) manual labor. Workers in hip waders and nets are scooping up large clumps of algae blooms.
2) chemicals. Bottles of hyrogen peroxide are being dumped into the pool.
3) lies. Posting pics on line taken at certain angles, the department declared the pool was crytal clear as the good lord Trump intended. Even though people can still go right up to the pool or see shots taken from above the pool and inequivicably see the pool is as green as fuck. And filled with floating pieces of blue paint.
You know, the thing is algae in the Reflecting Pool has always been a thing and we quite frankly wouldn't have cared. For over a century, the government has taken care of it and we moved on with our lives.
But with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence approaching and Donald Trump's own obsessive need to make everything about himself and his own delusional belief in his supposed abilities as an alleged builder, Li'l Donnie turned a minor but manageable irritation into a bigger problem. And a national embarrassment.
The debacle of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pools epitomizes everything that is wrong with this motherfucking moron: the corruption, the narcissism, the delusions, the stupidity, the incompetence.
Trump once said "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen." But Trump embodies the exact opposite of his badly mangled syntax.
He can only make worse happen.
Don't forget why his idiot moron followers voted for his sorry ass in 2024. Because shit cost too much.
Don't forget inflation is now at 4.2% which is higher than what it was when Trump was sworn in on January 2025.
And don't forget he said THIS!
Are we done?
Oh dear God, no we're not. What can I say? Hell has no limits.
But your patience and mine does.
Let's call it a day!
We're back tomorrow for the Tuesday TV Touchbase.
I like television. It makes life simple somehow. When I'm watching TV, it's as if nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.
Or something.
'Bye, y'all!
