    Trump says he's the president and knows everything.

    Yet he has no idea what part of his own body was imaged by MRI.


    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/us/politics/trump-age-health.html

    excerpt:

    “I have no idea what they analyzed,” Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One recently after he was again asked about his M.R.I. “But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well, and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”

    Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office
    By Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman
    Nov. 25, 2025

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/us/politics/trump-age-health.html

    excerpt:

    "Still, nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.

    He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.

    And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs."

    Trump calls Gov. Pritzker a 'fat slob' during turkey pardon ceremony at White House.


    Trump mocks 'big, fat slob' J.B. Pritzker at White House turkey pardon event | New York Post

    excerpt:

    “He ought to invite us and say, ‘Please make Chicago safe.’ We’re gonna lose a great city if we don’t do it quickly,” Trump warned.

    Minutes later in his remarks, Trump was in full comedian-in-chief mode, mercilessly trolling Pritzker while mocking Chicago’s soft-on-crime policies.

    Pentagon court-martial threat against Sen. Mark Kelly over purported 'sedition' sets new bar in lawfare

    excerpt:

    "After receiving what it called “serious allegations of misconduct,” the Pentagon said Monday, “a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

    Kelly, a former combat pilot and astronaut, accused the Trump administration of trying to bully him into silence."

    Trump has been trying to cut the retirement pay of Milley by once again using the treason accusation.

    Article from January 2025.


    Milley, accused of treason by Trump, faces possible demotion and cut in retirement pay

    Milley, accused of treason by Trump, faces possible demotion and cut in retirement pay

    excerpt:

    In a rant posted on his Truth Social network in September of 2023, Trump called Milley a “woke train wreck” and accused him of back-channel communications with the Chinese to “give them a heads up on the thinking of the president of the United States.”

    “This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump posted. “A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act.”

    Trump's retaliatory lawfare action puts Kelly's pension at risk.

    During his first term, Trump temporarily ended the pension of former FBI deputy director McCabe by having him fired a couple days before his retirement and on his birthday weekend.

    McCabe spent a couple years of legal wrangling and recovered his pension.


    Ex-FBI official Andrew McCabe, fired by Trump hours before retirement, will get full pension

    The GOP House margin will be down to five seats after Greene is gone in January, assuming no other changes such as resignations and not considering special elections like the one in TN..

    The Democrats could take control of the House before January 2027 if the GOP lost a sufficient number of seats.

    When Trump took office in 2025, he used a number of House members as officials for his administration which dwindled the GOP margin. It included the failed Matt Gaetz nomination to be U.S. Attorney General.

    Gaetz prematurely gave up his House seat before a confirmation vote in the Senate that never happened. Although Trump has been successful with other fringe nominations, such as RFK Jr. and Hegseth, the Gaetz nomination was a rare instance where the GOP didn't give Trump what he wanted.

    In spite of the slim margin, Trump has still managed to obtain the legistlation he wanted in the House, including his Big Beautiful Bill.

    Trump will get the movie sequel he wants.


    Is making ‘Rush Hour 4’ Trump’s latest executive order? Paramount looks to be onboard.
    The film studio is reportedly close to a deal to revive the long-dormant franchise after Trump pressed its owners to bring back the Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker buddy cop film

    Georgia prosecutor drops election interference case against Trump, others

    excerpt:

    "In my professional judgment, the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years," wrote Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, who took over the case after the original prosecutor was disqualified from the case.

    Within minutes of Skandalakis' court filing, the judge overseeing the case granted the request and dismissed the case.

    The "man "is above the law. He will never go to jail, he will never pay his debts, he will never stop his retribution against those that refuse to stick their noses up his fat ass and you can bet his maggots will continue to help him dismantle this country. :rage:

    Remembering the repetitive loop of President Biden in unflattering poses on Fox News.

    Certainly Trump provides ample opportunities to doubt his sanity.
    But Joy Reid casting doubt on Trump's facilities is just too rich to let slip by.

    Top Economist Says Trump's Tariff Rollbacks Are A 'Remarkable Admission' That His Policies Raised Prices - Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) - Benzinga

    excerpts:

    "President Donald Trump's recent decision to roll back specific tariffs to combat soaring consumer costs constitutes a “remarkable admission” that his signature trade policies have directly fueled inflation, argues prominent economist Justin Wolfers."


    "Wolfers posed a critical question regarding the administration’s logic: If cutting a few highly visible tariffs helps affordability, what do they believe the massive amount of tariffs remaining in place is currently doing to consumer prices?"

    High prices at the grocery are impossible for Trump to deny, especially for items like coffee that had an extra 50% import tariff (because he was upset that his friend Bolsonaro of Brazil was on trial for instigating a coup to overturn the Brazilian presidential election that he lost, and Trump wanted the trial shut down).

    Trump is hoping people don't notice the other high prices. Or perhaps notice them but not blame his tariffs.

    Other effects of his tariffs are hurting the public. Companies have cut back on labor to try to fray the costs of Trump's tariffs. It's a way to (as Trump would say) 'eat his tariffs'. It's likely part of the reason for the dismal labor market since his tariff wars started in earnest in spring 2025.

    Two US national guard soldiers shot and suspect in custody in Washington DC

    excerpt:

    "Two US national guard soldiers were shot on Wednesday near the White House and their conditions aren’t immediately known.

    “Please join me in praying for the two National Guardsmen who were just shot moments ago in Washington DC” Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, posted on X, adding that the agency is working with local law enforcement to gather more information.

    The incident happened near the Farragut West metro station and comes amid a controversial deployment of troops to the US capital city ordered by the Trump administration."
