Grandpa Trump Goes On A Dementia Stroll As Security Scrambles

Donald J. Trump walked past his presidential limousine, known as The Beast, after his rally in Dalton, Georgia, and appeared to be confused about where he was going.

The rally itself was confusing enough. He talked about a “good-looking guy,” but his exit was entirely different, as his security detail had to guide his cankled body back toward his limo. The Beast is hard to miss, but somehow Trump didn't seem to see it, even though its door was open just feet away.

Holy schmidt !!!

Leaving his Georgia rally, Trump misses the open door to The Beast, then wanders around front confused, as his security panics & redirects him back to his limo.

Trump waves it off, hoping no one noticed.

Trump Gives Putin Another Big Wet Kiss

Gee, it's almost like there's a pattern emerging here.

We've been watching Trump blame Ukraine for rising diesel fuel costs in America in order to distract from his disastrous war with Iran he and Bibi started, as he and his allies in right wing media continue their attacks on Zelensky for defending his country against Russia's aggression.

And this Friday Trump once again showed the world that he's nothing more than a stooge for Putin, just like his propagandists who are constantly defending the indefensible on his behalf and regurgitating Russian talking points in recent months.

Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest:

Fox News Poll: Voters Fume Over Corruption And Inflation

No wonder Trump hates Fox News polls.

In the latest Fox News poll, Trump hit his lowest approval rating in the history of their surveys: 36%.

Not helping his case, voters' top issue was corruption in the Oval Office.

The public sees how he and his family have enriched themselves in office, while the working class suffers.

"The economic landscape is stark. Six in 10 voters say the cost of living is their top economic worry, overshadowing government spending (15%), jobs and income inequality (7% each), tariffs (6%) and taxes (5%)."

30% of Republicans are pissed off over inflation.

Trump's constant whining and denials that the affordability crisis is a hoax are falling on deaf ears.

Healthcare costs are also a big concern for voters.

Do you know what the lowest-rated concern was?

Voter fraud.

Trump Bails Out Putin—and Betrays America

Last Friday, Trump announced a “massive” deal to purchase diesel from Russia. The adjective was his. The consequences ours. Dollars will go to Putin, a dictator who'll use them on weapons so his war machine can continue killing Ukrainian civilians. The Atlantic described it as the most outrageous & heartless Trump betrayal.

Trump claims it'll help lower fuel prices in the U.S. Horseshit. The first shipment's smaller than what American consumers use in a day. We have a surplus of diesel. It's Trump's attacks on Iran, not Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries, that have driven spikes in fuel prices. Buying a token quantity of Russian diesel does not remedy this.

Trump And His Fawning Blonde Posse

Donald Trump, the convicted 34 time felon or Felon45 as his friends call him, is obsessed with blondes.

It appears to be the main qualification for a woman to get any sort of public speaking role in his administration.

The sexual predator Roger Ailes' obsession with that type of woman must have been imprinted in his psyche.

Natalie Harp's role is more like an indentured servant, but her looks fit the bill.

Katie Zacharia can barely speak in coherent sentences, but she got the very important role as WH press secretary.

In this photo, the adoring smiles of Harp and Zacharia make them look like sawdust-filled dummies riding along with Demented Donald.
