Europeans Recognize Trumpism for What It Is

The foreign minister of tiny Luxembourg called the president a “pyromaniac,” and the criticism was too much for Mike Pompeo.

The fact that a tiny country such as Luxembourg was capable of producing a foreign minister who is so infinitely more graceful, honorable, skilled and aware than his American counterpart would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Those who commit mass murder often have past histories of domestic abuse. Now, these folks too join those ranks.

It's their worldview. Their power should never be shared nor challenged and they are willing to back it up with violence.

Trump Stole Fake Artwork From Ambassador's Home In France - The Ring of Fire Network

Donald Trump’s trip to France in 2018 was apparently one of the most bizarre events of this administration. In addition to his horrid comments about fallen soldiers and his fear of the rain, he also ended up taking a bunch of artwork out of the U.S. ambassador’s home in France because he liked...

Biden Viewed Positively, Trump More Negatively After Capitol Riot

68% of the public does not want Donald Trump to remain a major political figure in the future.

www.pewresearch.org

Donald Trump is leaving the White House with the lowest job approval of his presidency (29%) and increasingly negative ratings for his post-election conduct. The share of voters who rate Trump’s conduct since the election as only fair or poor has risen from 68% in November to 76%, with virtually all of the increase coming in his “poor” ratings (62% now, 54% then).

Trump voters, in particular, have grown more critical of their candidate’s post-election conduct. The share of his supporters who describe his conduct as poor has doubled over the past two months, from 10% to 20%.

Wow, his supporters who rate his job as "poor" have doubled (!) from 10% to...20%. That leaves a slightly larger pile of hamburgers on the table.

The clown rodeo finally winds down.

Trump explodes at Nixon comparisons as he prepares to leave office

In his final days in office, President Donald Trump has found the parts of the job he loved replaced by cold legal warnings, forced video addresses and a shrinking circle of downtrodden aides, all anxiously wondering what life will be like after noon on January 20.

In his final days in office, President Donald Trump has found the parts of the job he loved replaced by cold legal warnings, forced video addresses and a shrinking circle of downtrodden aides, all anxiously wondering what life will be like after noon on January 20.

Gone are the clicks of flashing cameras. Absent is the roar of a cheering crowd. Instead of a commanding final full week of winning, the President is playing the role of victim and not a gracious leader departing office.

Trump has been consumed by the unraveling of his presidency during his last days in office, according to people around him, which included a casual discussion among advisers recently about a possible resignation.

Report: WH Aide Asked DOJ Attorney For Dirt On Woman Accusing Trump Of Rape

A White House liaison to the Department of Justice reportedly solicited a department attorney for damaging information on writer E. Jean Carroll, who is suing President Donald Trump for defamation after he attacked her in response to her allegation that he had raped her in the 1990s.

The Guardian reported that the liaison, Heidi Stirrup, asked the unnamed lawyer for dirt on Carroll that could be relayed to Trump’s private legal team shortly after a judge shot down the Justice Department’s bid to serve as Trump’s defense in the lawsuit last October.

Stirrup also reportedly sought evidence that Carroll was conspiring with Democrats to make false accusations against Trump.

lol that WAS funny though.

Imagine being invited to the freaking White House for dinner and you put on your sharpest suit and all this and you get there and find out it's a Filet o'Fish and cold fries.

And the worst part of it was.....I mean, the team wasn't just brought to the room and shown the table with the food and turned loose. Like first Trump had this whole painfully-long and completely unnecessary photo-op of himself and the table of food, answering questions and stuff for like several minutes while the stuff is sitting there, like you know this stuff gets cold fast, right?
