Today I was pissed off to find that during the government shutdown he replaced the name of Admiral Rachel Levine, Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health, who is a transgender woman, with her deadname on her official portrait. ---

Speaking of soccer, or as the rest of the world calls it, football, Trump has decided America should get in line with the others: > **[President Trump wants to rename American football: 'We have to come up with...](https://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/article/president-trump-wants-to-rename-american-football-we-have-to-come-up-with-another-name-for-the-nfl-181710848.html)** > > Trump was on hand at the FIFA 2026 World Cup draw in Washington on Friday.

It’ll be funny to watch all the MAGAts wrench their brains out of whack trying rationalize doing away with calling it “Football,” when it wasn’t too long ago that they were ready to crucify Colin Kaepernick for daring to sully their sacred, American, I said, AMERICAN, goddamnit, sport with his fruity-patooty knee. ---

Nah, they’ll just deny he really said it. Or if you show them video, they’ll say it was a joke. And when he doesn’t get traction (maybe after realizing he’s not really more popular than football after all), he won’t even mention it and they’ll forget it. So will we, as there’s so so so much more dumb shit he’s spewed in the past and yet to spew in the future. ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > Nah, they’ll just deny he really said it. Or if you show them video, they’ll say it was a joke. To be fair, it **was** supposed to be a joke. The problem is that Trump doesn’t understand humor, either delivering it or enjoying it. So it doesn’t come off as even slightly funny. That was Trump trying to be a charming joker like Obama was able to do back in the day. ---

Because nobody could say such a thing and be serious? Because Trump is too smart to make a stupid remark without thinking?
