This is not a surprise. Donald Trump went to Arlington Cemetary and stumbled through some remarks, clips of which you’ve probably seen all day. But have you seen this one? The one where Trump talks about his own godliness? This is a bit disturbing for two reasons: it displays the fact that his senility is increasing and it also shows how his megalomania is not in recession. If anything, it’s taking over the spotlight. So beware. Because this is the shape of things to come. (Fast forward to 14:50)
There has never been a commemoration like this one, ever, at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Jim Stewartson kicks in his two cents. It’s worth a few minutes to head to the link and read his blog. Putin’s spokesman said that Trump was on “emotional overload” which is a polite way of saying he’s nuts. Nobody in this world is oblivious to what’s going on with Trump other than Trump world and MAGA.
On Memorial Day, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Donald Trump said this to commemorate the solemn occasion:
We’re going to have a big, big celebration as you know, 250 years. In some ways, I’m glad I missed that second term where it was because I wouldn’t be your president for that most important of all. In addition, we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics. Can you imagine? I missed that four years. And now, look what I have. I have everything. Amazing the way things work out. God did that. God did it. You know, I got the World Cup and I got the Olympics. The 250 years was not mine. I’d like to take credit. But I got the Olympics. I got the World Cup when I was president. And I said, boy, it’s too bad. I won’t be president. Then, look what happened. I turned out, and we’re going to have a great time. We’re going to have a great celebration. But most important of all is the 250th anniversary. That blows everything away, including the World Cup and including the Olympics, as far as I’m concerned.
After bemoaning “the last four years of hell” Trump finds a way to make the day about himself and proclaims his presidency is literally divine—“God did that. God did it.”
As a reminder, Donald Trump is a five-time draft dodger who said veterans are “suckers and losers” and “likes people who don’t get captured.” Nevertheless, he brags to a sea of crosses representing two-and-a-half centuries of sacrifice, about things he had nothing to do with—“And now look what I have. I have everything.”
Disgraceful has completely lost its meaning in America. And, let’s be real, Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles. The people around him are going to have to face it at some point.
We know that one axiom of Trump world is ETTD, everything Trump touches dies. There is another axiom, which is that Trump always gets worse, never better. So expect that to be the watchword for the next three and three quarter interminable years.

Zoomers, if you can spare any change, we could use it. I’m getting back to work after an illness and brief hospitalization. I’m not fully back in the saddle and the traffic has suffered for it. This is a hard business and we appreciate your help. Truly we do. Ursula
hoping world cup and Olympics defy gravity and have the games outside of US
I keep wondering how many of the athletes will decide their personal safety outweighs the prestige of championships and medals?
They’ll be very small events once all the non-christian and coloured people are excluded
