Can you just call it the administration? I know it’s all a clown show and I love your summaries but I really don’t want to have to spend time remembering what you’re taking about every time I see it. Plus the thread’s gonna get cluttered with people constantly asking what it means every time it gets used.
I don’t understand why it’s called the Walk of Fame. It’s all the presidents. Whatever “of Fame” is supposed to be the best of whatever. Are all baseball players in the “Baseball Hall of Fame”? All rockers in the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame”? It’s stupid so of course it was Trump’s idea. I guess it’s just another way to help him feed that bottomless void of his existence.
A President like Carter, Clinton, Obama, and even W would have the conscience and presence of mind to make some attempt to help. I leave Biden out as he too would have taken an old man doze as Trump did. Trump’s reaction, once awakened/startled, was to stand and show he’s still vigorous and alive.
I won’t speculate much, yet I reckon he’s on some steroid/amphetamine cocktail. Here he’s sitting while a number of drug CEO’s praise their company, product, and this great President.
From afar - and I only read his truth tweets here, he seems to have changed somehow in the past two months. I’m sure all the mega-billionaires like Bezos and Zuckerberg want the elixir of long life, yet none are about 80.
Trump thinks, “I can stand upright for a photo as medics attend to the guy to his left as ‘I am the greatest’”
To be fair Trump wasn’t in a position to help he was seated about 5 feet away (and based on Happy_Lavender’s post probably asleep). By the time he got up the two people next to the man were already helping to keep him from falling. Up until around 24 seconds into the clip Trump behaves like any other normal human being would looking to see if the guy who fell is OK. Its just that after words he realizes that giving the appearance of concern for a fellow human being might make him look weak and so he quickly switches his demeanor to one of indifference and mild distain.
The Serbian Parliament approved a new law Friday to tear down an architectural landmark that NATO bombed in 1999, stripping it of cultural protections and clearing the way for President Trump’s family to replace it with a luxury hotel.
Plans to build a half-billion-dollar Trump-branded hotel and apartments on the site of the landmark, the former General Staff military complex in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, had been stalled after government officials who endorsed it were charged with fraud.
But last weekend, lawmakers from the governing party of President Aleksandar Vucic announced they would use an extraordinary provision in the Constitution to introduce a law that would restart the project.
The legislative wrangling drew condemnation from students, prosecutors, preservationists and opposition politicians in the latest provocation after more than a year of anticorruption protests against Mr. Vucic’s government.

He [The lawmaker who introduced the measure, Milenko Jovanov] also said the hotel project could curry favor with the Trump administration at a time Serbia is trying to maintain relations both with Moscow and the West. Mr. Trump has imposed a 35 percent tariff on Serbian imports, and American sanctions have hampered a Russian-owned company that is Serbia’s main oil supplier, as well as some of Mr. Vucic’s allies.
…
“Whether that will lead to improving relations with the Trump administration, with the United States — honestly, I would like that,” he [Jovanov] added.
…
Ah, I get it. Donnie’s ultimate motivation behind the tariffs is to bring world leaders to him crawling on their knees, begging him to accept the favors they’re offering.
“Today, you want to turn that symbol into a luxury complex, just to please Donald Trump,” Ms. [Marinika] Tepic said during the parliamentary debate. “On the very spot where bombs once fell, you now plan to pour Champagne.”
On a spot where people died. Doesn’t get any better.
Have we, as a society, really fallen to the point where we need an actual doctor to give us the advice, “Don’t just let people take a major faceplant”?
