The first story that sailed through about Donald Trump venting his spleen on Truth Social tonight I ignored. He’s always insulting somebody, that’s scarcely news. But within the hour, Trumpty lashed out at yet another group of enemies. And then there was a third complaint. So Trump’s off on one of his meltdowns, it looks like. Unless Susie manages to wrestle the phone away from him and get him to take his meds. The first salvo was at George Clooney.
Clooney won an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA, the Cecil B. DeMille Award and AFI Life Achievement award and those are not doled out to second rate actors. Sorry Donald, they simply are not. But then the rest of the post is about 60 Minutes and then he gets back to trashing Clooney. The only reason I can think of is that Clooney sees him for what he is and has told people that Trump is the kind of guy that would approach him in a bar and try to appear quite the bon vivant with the women.
Truth be known, Trump would love it if Clooney was his pal and in his camp. Not to be, Donald. So evidently while he was stewing over that, something else got him riled to go after the New York Times. Again.
I have a theory about this one. I think that Trump is still stewing over Thursday’s New York Times bombshell, about Elon Musk going to the Pentagon to go over war plans against China, should such a day arrive. Peter Baker’s name wasn’t on that piece, but Baker is the Chief White House correspondent for the Times and in that capacity has written about Trump (and five presidents before him) extensively.
Evidently Donald doesn’t like Mr. Baker. Maybe he’ll soon by banished by Karoline from the press briefing room. Or, maybe he’ll be allowed in but never called on. The cruelty is the point, you see. Trump wants everybody to know he is the lord and master.
And then there was this. Maybe this is what really piqued Donald and once he became angry, then it all spilled over on the New York Tiemes and George Clooney.
It’s not the most flattering portrait but it does look like him. I guess the artist should have used Trump’s mugshot as a model and painted him from that. Trump loves his mugshot. He has a mad gleam in his eyes, which makes him look insane, but Trump sees that as dashing and cavalier. Or something. Here’s what Trump thinks he looks like.
Bottom line, Trump doesn’t want people to paint him as he is, but as he would like to believe himself to be. That’s where the portrait artist erred, she didn’t go out of her way to glamorize Trump and now he’s pissed.
In any event, it’s another hot time in the ongoing love affair with Donald and his phone. Evidently Elon isn’t there playing with cutlery and don’t even ask where Melania is. If Trump’s in Florida, she’s in New York. Plain and simple.

Zoomers, if you can spare a donation, we could use it to pay overhead as we struggle into the approach of month six of down traffic. I’m sure things will right themselves in time, but for now, it’s tough going in this business. Thank you. Ursula
Donnie…head to the attic and see how your real portrait looks…as in Dorian Grey. You are a hideous and fowl creation…spewing bile, lies, and gas. Your heart is a lump of black smoking cancer…and your soul has been shredded into tatters of greasy one dollar bills. The cries of the children you’ve traumatized float around your head like blackflies thirsty for revenge. That’s what you are donnie…a demon in training for the evil eternal darkness of HELL. No amount of touchup can cover all your evil.
1) He hates Clooney for being handsome and talented and having a gorgeous wife wjo.adores him and is famous for being a brilliant humanitarian lawyer instead for posing naked in faux lesbian layouts.
2)He hates any newspaper that doesn’t kiss his pasty fat arse. And yes, I think he’s mad over the story about Rabid Muskrat, who does not have a security clearance and has way too.much invested in China to be privy to.top.secret war plans.
3) The portrait is accurate, so.natch it’s unflattering. Has Dementia Donnie looked in a mirror in the last 20 years.? He is fat, ugly, balding and has a triple chin that blends into.his neck, piggy eyes and a pursed mouth. Those other two bear very little resemblance to him now, at best he looked like thst 40 years ago, and he was never handsome. Ivana was the only wife who loved him; the other two married him.for his money and produced anchor babies to.guarantee they were well paid for servicing him.
I agree. It’s purposefully distorted to give him a look of intelligence, compassion and dignity. The subject is utterly devoid of these qualities, so it should be taken down to avoid giving future generations the wrong impression.
Give me a can of orange paint……I’ll fix it!!
