“The evasion is the credential “ is one of the most accurate descriptions of this phenomenon I’ve read or heard. Thank you for that

Fact checking someone that is as truth averse as the felon is an impossible task. Until we come to the conclusion that everything coming out of his mouth is a lie and he has to provide the proof to back up his ludicrous claims, we will continue to stall. This is how he operates and always has. That is what made him a decent game show host on a crappy game show, the only moderately valid credit to his name.

I find this black background/white font hard to read. Please go back to black on white.

Thank you, Mary. I like the mandate to focus on what matters. With your help, we will.

Am I the only one who thinks the image on his right breast looks like a Wehrmacht pin?

He wouldn’t know what that is. AI is just pulling from it’s pile of stolen images to complete his fever dream request to look important, since he can’t pull it off on his own.

Thank you for your piece.

Trump who may have been introduced to millions on the television show The Apprentice back in the early 2000’s if you never knew anything about him before then. Is exactly what the network executives note that the show carefully edited — fabricating a persona a person into some form of reality — Creating a fictional Trump as a master corporate titan, glossing over his past financial struggles and bankruptcies to turn him into a household icon of success. Basically a cartoon character, who just so happens is written in the script as being of some importance, even impressive.

Trump has never been successful other than being funded by his daddy Fred, six bankruptcies including casinos, a felon, a crook, a conman and a grifter, a slum lord and a bigot. His entire persona life is but a fabrication, anything that comes out of his mouth is a fabrication and a reflection of who he truly is. When he calls the media fake news, he is the fake news. There’s not an ounce of truthfulness in the husk of this body. The body is breaking down, the mind is oatmeal and the only reason he’s still around is some see him as some form of deity. Why some will ask, we will never know… pass the kool-Aid in that MAGA cult. Because there will be at minimum 25% that will never break away, either due to their own mental health or never wanting to admit they are ever wrong..

The next 89 days until midterms will be a full out thrill and filled with high energy rides that any carnival has to offer. From the vertical spinning frame with flipping cages, the high-speed spinning cylinder using G-force to pin riders to the wall, a fast circular train ride moving over small hills with loud music. Then throw in the giant pendulum swinging riders in a full 360-degree loop, to the fast spinning floor layout with overlapping rotation axes that keeps your body sticking to the walls due to centrifugal force all the while the floor is taken away beneath you… Then you will hear and see the rotating platform with what was those painted classic animals, but now replaced with all the ads and lies that come at you quicker than the speed of light. Occasionally we will witness those cars that are suppose to be steered just bumping into each other in those debates if both politicians agree to do so before the election. Then we will possibly be hearing and seeing something similar to suspended swinging chairs that lift and spin outward because they want your attention to pick me. Lastly the ever present walkthrough of the mirror maze that distorts everything all an illusion an attraction of sorts….

Welcome to the carnival and that infamous barker who has no clothes, lies through his teeth, reapplies that burnt-orange makeup and who knows at this point replaces the sparsely haired ferret that usually sits atop his head with more of a Neanderthal specimen either posting or talking those meandering of made up words.. that he does.. If he’s not available he will send out his loyalists in force to add to the talking point. Who knows what will end up some voter polls. Doesn’t matter, keep your eyes on the prize - To Big to Rig a bath is surely needed..

Have to wonder what history books will say for those reading of this time 50 to 100 years from now…
