I didn’t know Trump was trying to build another ballroom in Ireland. If it wasn’t for those pesky snails! [In February, planners approved the ballroom on the condition the Trumps submit a snail restoration plan.](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-ballroom-2677733351/) ---

He’ll raise money off this without a problem. The best I can hope for is that he continues to drain the bank accounts of MAGA idiots. ---

I mean, if I were a public employee tasked with visiting people’s houses to discuss federal disaster relief services, I’d be not unreasonably concerned that householders displaying Trump signs would be more likely to shoot me on sight for being some kind of “jackbooted thug” or something. I don’t endorse FEMA employees neglecting their duties in that way, but it’s not like the only possible explanation for it is just pure unadulterated spite over political differences. Trump supporters have officially embraced a paranoid delusional worldview, and talking in person to delusional paranoiacs (who also have a higher likelihood of firearms extremism) while paying unsolicited visits to their residences can be pretty dangerous. ---

They should have done it Trump’s way and skip whole states. ---

Yet another example of the stable genius at work, ‘punishing’ the ‘blue’ states. If someone told the Orange Asshole that he received more votes in California than in Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming combined, his tiny little useless brain would explode. ---

There’s a certain amount of schadenfreude in this: > **[‘It’s an embarrassment’: Ottawa councillor vows to remove Donald Trump’s name...](https://www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/its-an-embarrassment-ottawa-councillor-vows-to-remove-donald-trumps-name-from-residential-street/)** > > An Ottawa councillor is vowing to lead a process to remove U.S. President Donald Trump’s name from a residential street as the Canada-U.S. trade war continues to ramp up. From the item: > [@](#): > > “I’m embarrassed that there is a street in River Ward called Trump Avenue, and I’m embarrassed that, in the nation’s capital, we have Donald Trump honoured in this respect,” Ottawa Coun. Riley Brockington said during Wednesday’s council meeting. > > . . . > > “We’re past the point of debating whether or not the street name should remain Trump Avenue. It should not,” Brockington said. > > “In fact, it’s an embarrassment that this name is up there on one of our streets. So, there will be a community-led process, which I will lead, to rename the street. The residents of Trump Avenue will be part of that process and renaming, but it’s time to remove that name from one of our streets in our capital city.” As for why “Trump Avenue,” the neighbourhood is called “Central Park,” and the streets are named for things in New York City. I guess that Trump, being a New Yorker, somehow got included when the neighbourhood was being planned. ---

Obama Avenue would sting harder I think. If the current mood in Canada allows for naming streets for people from the USA. ---

In most places it is considered a good idea not to name anything public after people who are not yet dead. Waiting a decade or more has proven time and again to be sensible advice. As for stinging? Loser Boulevard. Or, if it is in a francophone part of Canada, perhaps Visage-de-cul Cul-de-sac. Would take a while for him to understand, would be fun to watch. I can see a sketch made out of someone patiently explaining it to him, ending in: “No, I still don’t get it.” ---

If that neighborhood is specializing in NYC placenames, I suggest renaming the street for a different New Yorker whom Trump really hates. Possibilities: Attorney General Letitia James, or writer Kurt B. Andersen, the _Spy_ magazine founder who helped coin the epithet “short-fingered vulgarian” for Trump. ---

How about “Orange Julius Caesar Lane”? I remember, in the bad old days of Apartheid, the Washington, D.C. City Council named the street on which the South African Embassy was located after Nelson Mandela.
