Trump - 4 more years of this at least...

[sugilite:Me]

trumps list of epstein distractions this week have a common theme - see if you can spot it. He wants Obama done for treason (ridiculous), he wants Kamala, Beyonce and Opara done for election fraud and he wants tv pundit Al Shipton done as well. I'm sure the fact that they are all black is purely a coincidence as our resident trump apologist swears trump is not racist

It is a similar theme with the list of countries whose citizens are barred entry to the WSA, opps I mean USA. Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela and that hot bed of crime - Tonga
Once again, the fact that none these countries are full of white people is just another coincidence from the orange cockwomble.

The orange vomit bag has admitted that epstein stole his staff consisting of underage girls from trumps maralargo "spa" .

And he would have us believe he never had the "privilege" of visiting epsteins island

So does this infer that Trump thought he owned her? I mean, I am not surprised by that but really?

Trump is planning to build a $200 million ball room at the White House. Another monument to tastelessness. During his first sojourn in the White House Melania (remember her?) had tennis courts and a pavillion constructed. Melania also had Jackie Kennedy's rose garden removed and replaced it with something more appropriate to a funeral home. Last photo I saw made it look as if the site of the former rose garden was disappearing under cement. Maybe that's where the ball room is to be built?

Economists and others have been questioning the statistics provided by the US government. The data does not seem to match what is happening in reality and the presumption is that the figures are being 'massaged'.

In case anyone doubts that could happen, the latest job numbers are disappointing and in response Trump has just fired the person in charge of labour statistics. I guess the numbers will be more cheerful in future.

Oh, and it's reported that Ghislaine Maxwell is not currently in prison. She would be well advised to avoid stairs.

Update: Maxwell is still in prison, a different prison. A "Club Fed" prison with tennis courts and a putting green? Whatever, it's the cozyest prison possible for a woman in the US.
There may be people who think this is all entirely coincidental and that a deal hasn't been done. Those people are worthy of your sympathy.

So does that mean Trump is no longer on the Epstein list? Whew!

As our Trade Minister packs his bags to head to the US to talk a trade deal I hope he realises that these deals are not "deals" in the usual sense of the word. They are subject to change on a Trump whim. Brazil are prosecuting a former leader for fomenting an insurrection. Trump is uncomfortable with former leaders being prosecuted for fomenting insurrection so he increased tariffs on goods originating in Brazil to 50%.

The US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick (Nutlick?) says that the US will not now be able to have a trade deal with Canada because the Canadian Government has recognised Palestine. It'll be interesting to see whether this US stance alters NZs position on Palestine. We currently support recognition.

Trump is using tariffs to achieve political ends. Of course if we give Trump a gift of say half a billion US dollars, which seems to be the going rate, the path to lower tariffs may be smoothed.

The current US tariff system is legally doubtful, the power to set tariffs resides with Congress not the president. Currently the challenges are working their way up through the courts, with this Supreme Court though anything is possible.

In instances such as this schadenfreude is absolutely permitted. This guy, the Superintendent of Schools in Oklahoma, wants a bible in every classroom. Specifically a Trump bible no less. A real Christian apparently. Then during a meeting it's alleged that nudes appeared on a screen from his computer. Porn on a work computer? Obviously he's a genius as well as a Christian.

Sorry but they just keep coming.

Trump wants to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Programme for youth. He has selected a team of sports representatives to guide the young people of the nation as to health and fitness. The team includes this guy. You'd think somebody would've told him.

Trump has announced that he's causing US drug prices to drop 1400 or 1500 %. There are rather remarkably still some people who think he's got all his marbles.
If he is playing 4D chess the D stands for dementia.

Cambodia has done what he always wished and longed for, they have and nominated him for Noble peace prize....
Well compared, to Pol pot, he would be a benevolent dictator.

Experts only attribute 180000 deaths in a year directly to trumps mishandling of Covid.
Pol pots regime killed 7 times that many over many more years
