Another entry into the You Can’t Make This Stuff Up file, which started out as a filing drawer marked “Y”, turned into a cabinet, then a building, then an office block, and when last seen was filling up the interior of the Martian moon Phobos. And Phobos may explode soon if this keeps up.

Let me repeat the ground rules here again: As long as you realize that Donald Trump sees all this as reality TV and getting ratings, you’re there. You understand what’s going on. And if you understand that he is, in reality — not TV but actual reality — under indictment in four jurisdictions and that ain’t hay, there’s going to be a pay day for all that, you’re also on the right page. Now, if your synapses are firing away, saying, “Wait a minute: There’s going to be one hell of an explosion here, on these facts,” well, that seems to be inevitable. Meanwhile, here’s Trump’s latest campaign ad. And no, I don’t know if Nancy Sinatra has sent a cease and desist letter yet, but I expect it momentarily.

If you go over to Twitter there are commenters asking, “Did the Biden campaign do this?” It showed up on Truth Social. Don’t take my word for it, go on over there and check it out. Devin will be grateful for the traffic.

Meanwhile, Trump’s new moves.

What’s that you say? Is that President Ironman, the superhero, when he looks like he’s about to lose his balance or maybe shit his pants? Well, maybe President Ironman will do both. I’ve been saying for years now that the only thing Trump hasn’t done is soil himself on stage. I may not be saying that much longer.

Wait for the Sinatra Estate to get wind of this. Frank Sinatra hated Trump and instructed his manager to call Trump and say “Go fuck yourself.”

Eliot Weisman, the former manager of the American singer from 1975 to 1998, recounts the time the singer was going to perform at the opening of Trump’s Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in 1990 in his new book, The Way It Was, set to be released on October 24.

The former manager said they had a deal currently in place with the casino’s new operator, Mark Grossinger Etess, who died in a helicopter crash before they could finalize negotiations. Trump then stepped in to help Sinatra and Weisman finish the arrangement Etess had previously started.

Before his meeting with the now 45th President of the United States, Weisman said singer Paul Anka warned him at Etess’s funeral he was going to learn during the meeting the meaning of Trump’s then new book, The Art of The Deal.

According to Weisman, Trump started off the new negotiations saying Sinatra was too expensive for the cost of the 12 dates the singer was supposed to perform, saying he was “a little rich” for the price. Weisman said Trump also decided he was going to drop former Rat Pack member Sammy Davis Jr, who was dying of cancer at the time, and pop duo Stevie and Eydie, who were the other acts involved in the original deal. […]

Sinatra gave Weisman two choices: to tell Trump he should go f*** himself on Sinatra’s behalf, or to give Trump’s phone number to the American pop singer so he could personally call Trump himself to tell him to go f*** himself.

Upon returning to Trump’s office after the phone call, Weismann told gladly told Trump, “Sinatra says go f*** yourself!”

The first tune at the 2017 Inauguration was this one, My Way, and maybe Trump intends that it will be the first tune at the 2025 Inauguration. Maybe it will be. Maybe Joe and Jill will play it out of a sense of irony and amusement.

Tomorrow’s Monday, expect it to be the beginning of a strange week, one of many to come before November.

  2. “Devin will be grateful for the traffic.” And Sinatra said the same thing to Trump the guys on Snake Island, Ukraine told the Russian ship. Outstanding! 🤣🤣👏

  3. Regarding the music playing while Trump does his new dance “move” I want to remind everyone of something. Lee Greenwood who made it famous was a fucking Chickenhawk. A Draft Dodger. “gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today” never spent a single day doing so himself. Remember that every time you hear that song.

  5. So, when does the F.S. Estate tell dingleberry to not only go f*ck himself again but also to get that little montage using Frank’s music (or at least voice singing the tune) off of all media before they sue him out of existence (yeah, I can hope-I know it wouldn’t be all that much)? Of course I am assuming the F.S. Estate owns the rights to the music Frank is singing…?

    Maybe it’s time for them to invest in a TARDIS. I’m sure the Doctor can get one for them pretty cheap. (Now, the problem is getting in touch with the Doctor. He does have a tendency to hang out in the UK when he’s on Earth but he doesn’t give out his number to just any random person on the street.)

  7. FWIW, an article on snopes.com clarifies the claim.

    Ĝreenwood would have been caught up in or prior to LBJ’s 1965 troop buildup, as I was (I have a 1945 birthdate, and was expecting to have another 2 or 3 years before induction – SURPRISE!!!) By 1965, he was 23 and his oldest child was born in 1959; his draft board classified him 3A.

    A longtime friend (55 years) was already married and a father at the age of 20 when we met, with an identical story.
