Donald of Deliria is wallowing in brute force. He told Reuters that “we shouldn’t even have an election” because his administration had accomplished so much. But in a new CNN poll, most respondents called Trump’s second term a “failure” so far. Imperialism is ever so much easier than affordability.
He has already ratcheted up a horrifying military-style occupation of Minneapolis. Pouring gasoline on a raging fire, as always, he mulls over invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to send troops there.

As the daughter of a cop, I am sympathetic to the split-second life-and-death decisions the police have to make. But Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who shot and shot and shot Renee Good as she was trying to drive away, tragically overreacted – then called her a “f—ing bitch”. He could have stepped aside and caught up with her later, since he had her licence plate.
As a New York Times story pointed out, Ross, formerly a National Guard member deployed to Iraq, embodies the post-9/11 militarisation of border enforcement, a “high-risk approach that favours counter-insurgency-style aggression over careful policing”.
Rahm Emanuel said on CNN that scenes of masked ICE agents with no body cameras roughing up people have become such a disturbing part of the American landscape that the agency as we know it will have to end.
“ICE has become a lawless mob, rather than law enforcement, under President Trump,” he said.
When Times reporters asked the president in an interview whether there were any limits on his power, he replied, “My own morality, my own mind.” God help us all.
It’s chilling when you combine Trump’s stupefying greed with all the power in the world.
It’s almost quaint to look at the misrule of W and Cheney. At least they made up some highfalutin cover story about bringing democracy to the Middle East, when the real story was closer to daddy issues for W and a Halliburton windfall for Cheney.
Trump’s entire doctrine is naked rapacity, from Venezuela to hijacking the Kennedy Centre to hideously remaking the White House in his own gaudy image.
A fake peace prize from FIFA wasn’t enough for him. The greedy little piggy was licking his lips as Maria Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader, curried favour by handing over her Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday. Pathetically, Trump accepted it, giving Machado a swag bag in return that included a medal with his picture on it.
The Panthers presented Trump with two championship rings, a jersey that said “Trump 47” and a gold hockey stick.
“That stick looks beautiful,” said the gilt aficionado, fearing the jersey would be his only swag. “Maybe I get both. Who the hell knows? I’m president. I’ll just take them.”
