Trump spent much of Saturday flooding “Truth Social” with a torrent of memes, AI slop, political attacks, and fan-made tributes.

The six-hour posting marathon unfolded on a day when the only item listed on the president’s public schedule was “Executive Time.”

Beginning at noon, Trump shared or reposted more than 50 pieces of content ranging from patriotic fantasy art and self-congratulatory graphics to crime memes, military imagery, celebrity tributes, and attacks on political rivals.

Trump went to Walter Reed for his 13 visit in the past 6 months.  This is a photo of Trump as he left Walter Reed.

Here are some examples of Trump’s madness.

Among the more unusual posts were separate images showing Trump riding horseback beside George Washington on a dirt road next to a NASCAR race.

Another showed Trump looming over Greenland beneath the words “Hello, Greenland!”

Trump has repeatedly argued that having Greenland as U.S. territory is vital for national security, though both Greenlandic and Danish leaders have forcefully rejected any suggestion that the territory could be acquired by the United States.

One particularly strange image showed Trump dressed as a military commander as fighter jets exploded across the sky behind him, beneath the caption: “YOU’RE GETTING DISCOMBOBULATED.”

The post appeared to reference Trump’s claim that a secret U.S. weapon he dubbed a “discombobulator” helped capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Former President Barack Obama was also a recurring target.

Trump shared multiple memes attacking Obama, including one depicting the Obama Presidential Library as a giant trash can and another blaming Obama and former President Joe Biden for problems at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

At other points during the spree, Trump shared multiple images of Chinese President Xi Jinping, including one showing the pair shaking hands beneath a caption lamenting Democratic opposition to his long-desired White House ballroom.

Trump pointed to Beijing’s sprawling Great Hall of the People as an example of the kind of grand venue he believes the White House should have.

COMMENTARY:

Let’s just start here: Trump chooses to communicate to ALL of America via Truth Social. Which he owns. And yet only 3% of Americans use it. Don’t normal political leaders want the widest audience?

If you had an employee, a friend, a coworker, or a member of your family acting like this tell me you wouldn’t seriously worried!!!

The man has lost his mind. What shocks me is no one in his family cares enough to say “Something’s seriously wrong.” They all just allow the world to see him make a fool out of himself again and again and again. It’s quite tragic.

– Angela Merkel’s first mistake with Donald Trump, she says in her new memoir, was treating him as if he were “completely normal”, but she quickly learned of his “emotional” nature and soft spot for authoritarians and tyrants. She stressed that she was wrong about Trump since she first thought he was “normal”.

– During their first meeting in 2017 in the Oval Office, where he attempted to humiliate her by refusing to shake her hand before the cameras. “I whispered to him that we should shake hands again,” she writes. “As soon as the words left my mouth, I shook my head at myself. How could I forget that Trump knew precisely what he was doing. He wanted to give people something to talk about with his behavior, while I had acted as though I were having a conversation with someone completely normal.”

– Now unbound by diplomatic niceties, Merkel sizes up Trump as “emotional” and driven by grievance and neediness, in contrast to her “factual” approach. “It seemed that his main aim was to make the person he was talking to feel guilty. At the same time, I had the impression that he also wanted the person he was talking with to like him.”

– Rather than trying to build bridges with traditional allies, Merkel writes, “Trump was apparently fascinated with the Russian president”, and she notes that “politicians with autocratic and dictatorial traits had him in their thrall”.

In case you aren’t familiar with “Kid Rock” and his “music” . . . well, if you aren’t familiar with him, consider yourself lucky.

Maybe he should just FOAD.

This is not Trump’s house.  Just as it was not Biden’s, or Obama’s, or Bush’s, or Clinton’s, or  . . . .

This is OUR House — this is the People’s House — and it has been trashed by a failed “businessman,” a con man, a liar, a rapist, and a moron.

Anyone who voted for or in any way supports this man is as evil, as ignorant, and as big an asshole as he is.

Massie claims former Slovenian sex industry worker “knows Epstein didn’t act alone”

“Todd Blanche is violating the law. There’s still millions of files they haven’t released,” he said.

“We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know the files have been over-redacted. I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this.”

The Republican, who lost his House primary last week, added: “I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director, Kash Patel, at the top, because they have effectively both perjured themselves by saying there’s nobody else in the files.”

He then claimed of Donald Trump’s wife: “Even Melania doesn’t believe that. The first lady knows that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t act alone.”

Tt is a condition of the Trump era, and particularly of this war, that we regularly, every day, every hour, see things online so ridiculous or obscene that they merge with images we’ve encountered in novels, Hollywood films, and TV satires. Heightening the disorientation, the Trump administration has spliced together real-life footage of bombings and scenes from action movies to make maniacal snuff films, something even the social critic Christopher Lasch could not have imagined. The videos provoke a cognitive confusion, a reflexive desire to dismiss what must not be real.

Hegseth in particular, with his cowboy arms and crispy gelled hair, is a parody come to life. “We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly as it should be,” he said in his first press briefing about February’s attack on Iran. And on the same occasion: “We have only just begun to hunt.” He loves to use the word “hunt” and to recite weapon names. He also frequently invokes God and Jesus, especially when talking about killing; in a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon, he called for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy…. We ask [this] with bold confidence in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ.” He compares Trump to Jesus and journalists to the Pharisees. He has fired or forced into retirement subordinates with significant expertise—as many as twenty-four top military officers, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the head of the army. He has openly targeted black officers and women officers. He has also, according to numerous reports, routinely abused alcohol, and in 2020 he paid off a woman who said he had sexually assaulted her. Congress knew that when it confirmed him as secretary of defense.

Extreme though Hegseth may be, he is a recognizable type: a jockish, puerile white man, a boy you knew in your public high school, if you went to one. He is the Jersey Shore as much as he is Kansas, Florida, Texas, and Oregon. You may recall him as the guy who shoved queer kids into trash cans in the cafeteria and said things about girls like “You’d need a crowbar to get her legs open.” As an adult, Hegseth is a man whom people have described leaving a bar, shit-faced, chanting “No means yes!” and “Kill all Muslims!” He is what the world thinks some Americans are, the bleakest caricature. But like the violence in the administration’s videos, Hegseth is real, and he is American, which means we have no choice but to ask what to do with him, and what to do with ourselves.

This is a person produced by a culture, a society, and a history. He speaks with a deliberate viciousness, a desecration of humanity that recalls centuries of slavery and the American Indian Wars. He is heir to a tradition handed down from the Founders—not the noble, revolutionary ones in the history books but the ruthless, ragged genocidaires who went west. He practices that nasty Christianity. “Break the teeth of the ungodly,” he said at the Pentagon prayer service; Bull Connor comes to mind. So many of Trump’s men—Gregory Bovino, Markwayne Mullin, Tom Homan—resemble the primeval thugs of the heartland, who openly desire the submission of the most vulnerable.

These men are ignorant of many things, but certainly of foreign societies. In 2014 I took a trip to Iran with two friends, during which we had a cheerful young tour guide who also functioned as a minder of sorts. Together we road-tripped around the country, from Shiraz to Yazd to Isfahan to Qom to Tehran, and saw mosques, palaces, museums, and archaeological sites—we even passed the Natanz Nuclear Facility on the highway; it was right there, visible from the car.We attended a dinner party in a Tehran apartment and went to an artists’ space where young people gathered. In Isfahan the local people let us go up a minaret of the famous Shah Mosque and view that exquisitely designed city from the latticed wooden carriage at the top, a delight so extreme I felt like a child. For over a decade I spoke of those ten days in Iran as the best trip of my life. What I know about the dangerous American ignorance in men like Hegseth and Trump is that it prevents them, on some elemental level, from understanding that Iran is a real country full of real people.

What has allowed this worldview to persist? The systemic oppression of another people always deforms the oppressors in turn, and although slavery ended and civil rights were won, America has continued to pioneer new varieties of oppressor degradation: Little Boy and Fat Man, destroying to save in Vietnam, CIA-backed military coups, Abu Ghraib, ICE warehouses, Gaza. Hegseth is a repository of the cold war, the end of history, and the so-called war on terror. Anyone his age understands the particular environment in which his ideology took shape. A tour through his life and his actions in the last few years reveals forms of degradation that are fundamental to the Trump administration but not unique to it. If we are to have a renunciation of who or what is terrorizing the world, it will not only be a renunciation of these men.

I can understand if you think this photo is from the 1860’s, but, no, it’s from yesterday.  There are morons everywhere and they all vote for Trump.  Notice they are wearing face coverings.
