Is Trump confused?

Some of his followers think of Hollywood as a foreign country, so in a sense I’m not surprised.

And I suspect he’s going to start treating them like a foreign country once the whole LA fires thing goes to Congress for relief funds, so perhaps it’s more apt than it appears.

All in the name of efficiency, I’m sure.

I think Hollywood should put a tariff on MAGA hats entering California.

Much like his “man, woman, person, camera, TV” statement. Or indeed this:

Not to mention that “ambassadors” Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight may have had thriving careers a few decades ago, but today are scarcely going to be in any position to either advocate for Trump or to “spy” for him.

The phrase “has-been” might have been invented for each of these three gents.

Stallone, at least, is still working regularly in reasonably high-profile stuff. He currently stars in Tulsa King, a popular streaming TV series, and has been in a number of films in recent years.

I’d like to be the first to suggest that, when their ambassadorships in Hollywood are over, we send Gibson, James Woods, Jon Voight, and Jim Caviezel as special envoys/ambassadors to North Sentinel Island.

Diego Garcia for the lot I say.

Naw, they’re just breathing hard.

What did the notoriously xenophobic and violent inhabitants of North Sentinel Island do to deserve such a horrid fate?

Perhaps they can be made general island ambassadors and, depending on how their North Sentinel Island visit goes, afterward pay a visit to the beautiful, tropical Ilha da Queimada Grande.

I feel it’s time we established a diplomatic presence in Rockall.

Anyway. Any bets on the inauguration speech? I’m guessing it will include:

  • how bigly he won this election by
  • how he really won in 2020
  • how terrible Biden and Harris are
  • how awesome things will be now that he’s back
  • the “weave” into god knows what as he goes off-script

After clicking the link and seeing the wiki pic of the island, that’s got to win some kind of award as the most aptly named island ever :laughing:

I saw a brief trump interview clip where he said the speech will be about ‘unity’. Suuure.

I bet it will go something like this: “I plan to build unity and bring the country together. Also, I’m going to punish all the evil Democrats who opposed me in any way, and immediately begin mass deportations of illegals as well as their family members who are here legally, if they have a problem with that”.

American Carnage II. With memecoins.

There will be unity. Be my color & do it my way or be banished. Whoever is left will be unified.

So easy. Bigly easy.

We shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era…in which lion and hyena come together, in a great and glorious future!

I’ll see your Rockall and raise you one Ball’s Pyramid.

There may be oil under Rockall corked up with the ether.

“Los Angeles has massive amounts of water available to it. All they have to do is turn the value, and that’s the valve coming back from and down from the Pacific Northwest.”

"“They wanted to restrict you to 38 gallons of water a day. That sounds like a lot, but it’s not when you’re a rich person and you want to take a shower.”

REPORTER: You would agree it’s never acceptable to assault police officers?

TRUMP: Sure

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

TRUMP: Well, I don’t know

REPORTER: Do you intend to continue to sell products that benefit yourself personally while you’re president?

TRUMP: Well I don’t know if it benefitted. I don’t know where it is. I don’t know much about it other than I launched it. I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked it.

“Young people aren’t dying at 22 and 23 years old. They don’t die. But now they’re dying.”

Here is a photo of the Top Secret location of the faucet that provides water to California.
