We knew this was going to happen from the get-go. There was no way that something Trump and his family did was going to succeed. Remember that list of defunct Trump this and that? Yea. How are the people that bought the Trump cellular phone doing with their bricks? Maybe they can be repurposed to hold doors open. That’s about all they’re good for now.
It looks as if all his crypto offerings are losing value by the minute. This is not a surprise. The Melania coin is sitting at 99.6% *below* its peak. Ouch. Trump’s meme coin is sliding down even faster since the Democratic rout on Election Day. Gosh, now why would that be happening? But the you’s and me’s that bought into this crypto are taking the brunt of the hit. Anyone with half a mind should have seen it from the beginning. It’s 50-50 as to whether or not we should feel sorry for them. Maybe a little bit.
This value slide reflects how Trump’s power is waning. Even MAGA is seeing the light. He’s definitely a lame duck president now. The star that has been in the air for so long is falling. Trump has lost the charisma that used to fill arenas; now he can’t fill an auditorium. He insists he has a full house every time, but the television and cell phones show the truth. People are losing interest in Trump, except with regard to the overwhelmingly stupid things he’s doing.
And then there are the stupid people he chose for his cabinet. They’re sliding, too. The question is who will be booted out first. There’s a rumor that he wants Dana White to run the Pentagon. Wut? That’s even crazier than Petey Boy. If he does offer it to him, please let him refuse. Of course, the problem then is who else Trump will pick. He’s doing very well in his lame duck term at choosing the completely wrong people to do anything. And Hegseth needs to be charged with war crimes for the Venezuela boat strikes, but that’s just me.
Yes, this is going sideways from crypto, but it’s all relevant, and combined into a mish-mash of commentary. It’s funny how big a change has come over the country in the past week. It’s as if the democratic blowout caused a huge sigh of relief in America. It doesn’t seem to be full of static anymore. It’s got substance now, weight now; looking forward to when Democrats take power in Congress in January.
We need to show the country that we will do what we promised. We will need to actually *do* something about the cost of living. We need to shut down the blockade coming out of the Strait of Gibraltar and get to the damn table to talk with Iran. Of course, we know prices aren’t going to come down because retail is like that, even if we can do something about the damn tariffs. But we can try to keep them from getting any worse. But affordability is our biggest problem to tackle first thing … well, it is to me.
Democrats need to put their money where their mouths are. We need to do what we talked about on the campaign trail. We *have* to do what we talked about on the campaign trail. People believed in us enough to cause the blue-nami. Let’s not let them down, and hope our elected officials don’t let them down, either.
Much gratitude to Raw Story for the jump-off point.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking is the ability to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
