The extremes love the “slam-dunk” effect or style points even in a losing effort. They are the type that would celebrate the lone touchdown in the 4th quarter in a 63-7 blowout as long as they think it’s a highlight reel.

Kinda sounds like watching the tanking of the economy and the stock market 10%, but tolerating that because of all the meaningless culture war "wins."

Respectfully, I disagree. This board is just full of people celebrating Trump's patriotic greatness. And all the winning!

Many people are celebrating the glorious wins their 401ks are enjoying. Others are celebrating Harvard renaming their DEI office.

These are glorious times. Please stay and celebrate them with us!

Cracks are appearing in Trump's aura of invincibility with uneducated conservatives. At a town hall, Trump told one of his obvious lies and people actually laughed at him. This is not a press conference with a hostile press--this is a carefully selected town hall. Naturally, commentators had a field day with it.

President Donald Trump joined a town hall appearance by phone on the NewsNation network Wednesday night, and the audience couldn't hold their laughter after hearing his response to one particular question.

The town hall, which was hosted by former CNN host Chris Cuomo and former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, included progressive activist Nina Turner and sports talk host Stephen A. Smith. At one point, O'Reilly read a question from an audience member asking Trump what he felt was his biggest mistake of the first 100 days of his second term.

"I'll tell you, that's the toughest question I can have because I don't really think I've made any mistakes," Trump said, prompting audible laughter from the audience.

Trump just insulted the world's Catholics. The nation's first felon-rapist president joked that he would like to be considered for the next Pope. Lindsey Graham put in his support for the nomination.

Lindsey Graham Asks Conclave to 'Keep an Open Mind' About Naming Donald Trump the New Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly nominated himself to be the next pope, some of his Republican supporters were quick to get on board.

On Tuesday, April 29, reporters asked Trump who he would like to see succeed the late Pope Francis, who died the week prior at age 88. He mused for a moment before answering.

“I’d like to be pope,” he said. “That would be my number one choice.”

"I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope," he wrote. "This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!"

Trump just lost someone that I'd never thought he would lose: Marjorie Taylor Greene. MTG says she represents "the base", and that Trump is offending the base. I thought that MTG represented the most base instincts of humanity. She has apparently "turned on" the Trump administration.

More detail on MTG's hostility. She is careful not to directly criticize Trump, but clearly she is saying that he's an idiot.

“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” Greene said Friday in a lengthy post on the social platform X.

in reference to ongoing talks with Iran over its nuclear program. A fourth round of talks that was slated to take place in Rome over the weekend has been postponed.

“I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene said.

She then turned to the minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week, which would give the U.S. a share of Ukraine’s natural resources if the U.S. sends more money to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion. Greene argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is a dictator who canceled elections” — which was due to the war — and was “involved of the first impeachment of Trump.”

Trump officials are now hoarding supplies to prepare for the epic shortages caused by Trump's tariffs. And Trump officials from his first administration share how successful they think Trump's tariffs will be (hint: not very).

Trump Officials Are Stockpiling Household Supplies Amid His Trade Wars

Two Trump administration officials and a Trump aide tell Rolling Stone that they have done some stockpiling of their own in recent weeks or months, and that they know others working in Republican politics — inside and outside of the administration — who are doing the same. One of the Trump officials says they have already run to Target to bulk-buy toilet paper, some types of food, and other household supplies.

When asked why they’re doing this, the Trump aide — who says they and their partner have done similar household-supply hoarding lately, and are also “stashing cash” reserves in their D.C.-area home — simply replies: “Because it would be stupid not to!” The aide adds that they still believe in Trump’s tariffs regime, though, citing the supposed advantage of “short-term pain” in exchange for long-term “prosperity.”

“If we continue down this path, I think it’s going to be pretty bleak for the economy,” says Marc Short, who once served as Trump’s White House legislative affairs director and as a top aide to Mike Pence. “There’s likely going to be significant job losses and potential supply problems in your stores. I do think the president is very adept at claiming victory and reversing his policies, so there’s a question about how long this actually goes. But if you look at the data on trucking and shipping right now, I think by the end of May, you’re going to see more shortages and supply disruptions.”

Short continues: “On Tuesday morning, there was data that showed how the monthly trade deficit ballooned to one of the highest levels ever, and the tariffs in theory were about fixing that deficit. But it’s only gotten worse. I think this could mean a lot of Americans — not just White House staff — are out there ordering supplies ahead of what they expect to be a rougher period. Thankfully we live in a relatively free economy that’s dynamic, but in the past we [in the Republican Party] have criticized central planners on the left. But I think there are currently central planners in this White House who think they can control what Americans buy and sell through their trade policies.”

It's like a weird, kooky dance, done to the choreography of lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories. All to keep the uninformed base enthralled, hold power and enrich themselves. They're really not much different from online influencers trolling for clicks.

Is this Trump DooDoo Show Worse than Trump 1.0 ?

Yes

No

Obviously, how clueless must one be to even ask?

Trump is a nice man who loves America and has great ideas and we just need to see if they work.

We can't be sure, Co-President Elmo might still fix everything and Make America Great Again Again
