Latest Late Late Night: Trump, Seriously?

This is just stunning. He’s taking two non-related events and putting them together. It all comes back to one thing, and he’s going to keep whining and crying like a 2-year-old until he gets it. The man has the strangest mindset. Thank you, Raw Story:

As the old saying goes, never let a crisis go to waste.

That’s exactly what President Donald Trump did on Sunday morning as he tried to use last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to sell his signature White House Ballroom project, which has been temporarily halted by a court order.

During the event, alleged shooter Cole Allen fired between five and eight rounds, striking one Secret Service agent in their bulletproof vest, before he was detained.

Trump, first lady Melania Trump, and several of the president’s cabinet members were swiftly whisked away from the event, which was held at the Washington Hilton.

The WHCD has been at that location for decades. There is no way to be prepared for an active shooter because it just doesn’t happen. Trump does his speech and leaves. What a pity *cough* that he didn’t get to do his news rage show he had planned. Maybe he’ll do it next year, if it stays in his head that long. Who knows what kind of shape he’ll be in tomorrow, let alone next year. Maybe he won’t get to use it at all. Awwww.

“This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It cannot be built fast enough!

While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the World, The White House.”

Where in the hail did Trump get militarily top secret? Nothing is secret with him. He keeps blabbing about it every chance he gets. And someone must have helped him because we know full well “militarily” is *not* something he could say. That’s far too big a word for him. And then the most secure building in the world? Yea no. They just started construction before it was halted by a lawsuit. There’s absolutely no way it could be ready in time. Yet he’s still pontificating about it? There’s no point to his whining

Trump’s comments stunned political analysts and observers, who shared their reactions on social media.

“Children are starving, and people are going bankrupt from routine surgeries,” author John Pavlovitz posted on X. “What the hell is wrong with you ghouls?” //// “Trump wasted no time in turning the shooting into an advertisement for his ballroom,” journalist Mark Jacob posted on Bluesky.

“The solution is impeaching and convicting Trump, not building a $400M ballroom,” Morgan J. Freeman, a TV producer, posted on Bluesky. //// “Wow! Trump sure made lemons (“assassination attempt”) into lemonade (justification for his pet construction project),” Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Rand Paul Institute, posted on X.

Thank you, gentlemen! Well said! My favorite is “What the hell is wrong with you ghouls?” because really, that’s the gist of the feeling about Trump’s ballroom, I do believe. Well, we knew Trump was somehow gong to get into stumping for it again. This one is low. It’s lower than you can go at Limbo. Active shooter = ballroom. What’s wrong with this picture??!!!

See you tomorrow (or later today)!

Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except 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 for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
