For reasons known best to Team Trump itself, DonOld decided to travel to California today to stump. Having lived 39 years in California, please believe me when I tell you that Trump is vehemently, vitriolically loathed in the Golden State. As a matter of fact, I remember moderating a hilarious group phone call back in 2018, on the topic of, “Who hates Trump worse, New York or California?” New Yorkers have hated Trump his entire life but believe me, there is something about him that particularly sticks in the craw of Californians. Trump knows this, but there’s something about the magic of the Golden State that he wants to get a piece of and that has always been the case. Trump originally wanted to be a movie producer and if only his father had bankrolled that career, maybe we would never have gotten him embroiled in our politics. Oh, well. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, is useless, right?
Trump claims to be in Coachella, California today, in Riverside County near Indio. Evidently he’s trying to palm himself off as being at the same venue as the reknowned music festival of that name. Let some Californians give you the real scoop.
This horse pasture is to the Coachella music venue what 4 Seasons landscaping is to the Four Seasons Hotel. 😂 https://t.co/MHmcwyuesI

I used to live in Adam Schiff’s congressional district and believe me when I tell you, that he was loved and respected by his constituents before Trumpty came on the scene but when he stood up to Trump, Schiff grew in stature. Patel and Grenell may think they’re getting some votes for Steve Garvey. Maybe they are. But my thoughts are that if there’s one safe Senate seat in the entire chamber, it’s the one that Congressman Schiff will attain next month.
Donald Trump’s rally isn’t being held *at* Coachella.
Coachella is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Donald’s rally is being held at Calhoun Ranch in Coachella.
They’re not the same, but MAGA cosplaying as festival-goers is hilarious.

As usual, pretense, puffery and out and out lies. That’s vintage Trump.
I voted against him last time and I will next time. His endorsement of trump commercial, in uniform, is absolutely disgusting.

Everything Trump Touches Dies. Good luck to this sheriff, he’s going to need it. Are you getting a feel for how the Golden State loathes Trump? I can tell you first hand, when Trump showed up on the political scene in 2015, talks of Cal-exit happened. And I was seriously considering the validity of such a movement. And I’ve always been the first to laugh hysterically every time the Texans talk about seceding from the Union, which happens every ten or twenty years. This was the first time I ever heard of such an idea in California and it was scary how many people were on board for it, myself included.
They are not at the Polo Grounds where the family host the Coachella Music Festival. Instead they are a few miles away at the horse shit farm with a tiny venue set up. No shade and it's 104 already. pic.twitter.com/qfSbTUrGq8

They’re at “the horse shit farm” and pretending it’s the world famous venue. :)) OMFG. Which one of Trump’s campaign managers dreamt this up? Maybe it was Corey Lewandowski, before he finally wore out his welcome. This reeks of something he might come up with. And Trump’s “performance” is what you would expect. He was particularly unglued today, glitching right along in the heat.

If this crowd gets any deader, they’re going to be carrying them out on stretchers. I think this is perfect tape to clip together into a Harris/Walz ad. It’s the MAGA version of Night Of The Living Dead, except the “living” part is questionable. It’s just Night Of The Dead, during the day. It will be comical to see how many votes Trump does get in California.

“De-flea” defile, defecate, something. DonOld’s not comfy in the heat. You wouldn’t be, either, if you were wearing a diaper under a suit and tie, in 104 degrees. There’s more to the rally, but it’s the same repetitive transphobic cracks, how Trump’s going to secure the border, put all the migrants in camps before deporting them, etc. It’s all a version of the 1933-34 Hitler rallies, after Der Fuhrer left the beer halls and got in front of the newsreel audiences.
So that’s Trump, live from “the horse shit farm” cosplaying the reknowned Coachella music festival. Another vintage day. If California is lucky, this is the last they’ll see of Trump this election cycle, or maybe ever. Trump may be able to talk about Governor “Newscum” or “Shifty Shiff” in other parts of the country, but it doesn’t fly in California, except out in the weeds. Wayyyy out in the weeds.






















Yipes! Trump is now peddling coffee? Unlike Alex Jones “mushroom infused” coffee that he sold for $18 a pound, wonder if it’s “diaper infused”?
Well, you do know that one of the most expensive coffees in the world (“kopi luwak” or “civet coffee”) runs around $100 per kilogram ($45 per pound) for farmed beans and more than $1000 per kilogram ($450 per pound) for wild-collected beans. And that’s coffee cherries (the fruit of the coffee plant that contains the coffee beans) that have passed through the digestive tract of the Asian palm civet and been left in the civet’s, um, feces.
I really wouldn’t put it past Trump’s legions of delusional supporters to spend money on coffee beans that got “dumped” by Trump. They’ll buy pretty much any other crap he produces, so why not the literal crap he produces?
“100% made in the USA coffee”????
Just where, exactly, in the USA are coffee beans grown?
Hawaii, where Kona coffee comes from.
I am with Ursula on this one. The tRumpsterfire is really despised there. I am a native Californian. I was actually born there, but my up bringing wasn’t there. As my mum used to say, “We are Heinz 57 sauce, a little bit of everything in us..” I transplanted myself to another blue state, Minnesota. Love it here.
Let’s be grateful for the stupidity of the enemy: there is no greater gift. This little junket is time and money wasted by trump’s campaign since he has zero chance of getting CA’s E.C. votes. Hey trump, why don’t you go to Oregon and Maine next?
While he has a lot of supporters in rural, southern and eastern Oregon, the core block of voters are Dems, and our higher state offices reflect that. We are a Blue state, thank God. So don’t send that POS our way, thank you very much.
note that he didn’t shell out enough money to get his supporters BACK to their cars. left the stranded for hours 5 miles from the parking lot. no water, no food, no restrooms.
This was an early item on my browser’s news page today, but it wasn’t headline level, with less emphasis than stories about the release of several bogus GPO-sponsored polls favoring Von Schitzi.
Someone in Trumpworld came up with this as a way of minimizing, if not eliminating the issue of attendees leaving His Numbnuttedness’s rallies early – actually keeping them on site, by not arranging shuttle service back to the parking lots after the rally ended.
Lips moving? LIES! Just stay in California…why not take that gorgeous body to Venice Beach? Just a quick question…what kind of speedo accommodates a Depends?
After the election that he LOSES, trump will say: “I won, they stole it. Look, I went to California AND New York in the last month of the campaign. Both States voted BIGLY for me, but they claim I lost both States. How could that be? Stollen election! Fraud!”
DonOld, just because you campaigned there doesn’t mean you won more votes there.
I’m as serious as a heart attack here, folks, this what trump WILL SAY after the election. There IS A REASON he is going to blue states that we all know he’s gonna lose.
Why else would he bother? It’s all a setup.
You know that Orangebob and his MAGA cult are so stupid that after hearing of the “magic dirt” that was supposed to cure/prevent Covid, I was seriously thinking about selling ziplock baggies of my Miniature Pincher’s poop as a cure…just open the baggie and sniff for 5 minutes 4 times a day! I would never actually do that (I have a conscience, ethics and morals), but it was fun to think about. I could have been rich!
just do it
Another great analysis of his speech at Coachella.
I’m the exact opposite of Ursula, territorially speaking – I grew up in California but have lived in Colorado almost 50 years now. And if California elections are “rigged” against Trump**, it’s not because of mail balloting. It’s because of public educatiion, particularly in areas where there are large liberal arts universities. I went tp school in the shadow of Stanford, with children of Mobel prize winners. No public education is perfect, but it taught me to think.
