Trump has no clout. His latest humiliation arrived courtesy of Morris Day who bailed on his Freedom 250 concert on the National Mall. This man from the “where are they now” file was quickly joined by d-listers such as Young MC and the Commodores, none of whom wanted to perform for the Mad King.
This embarrassing episode was marked by the usual Trumpian incompetence. The performers were not told about the event until they were booked.
And they didn’t even get the right Milli Vanilli! The duo they invited were a copy of the original musical frauds. A fraud of a fraud.
C+C Music Factory is another group that’s not authentic, leading to the funniest headline I’ve read all year:
Factions! The purported head of the Factory issued an angry statement while sitting on the toilet, working up a SWEAT!
Vanilla Ice, of course, is still in because he needs someplace to go during the day.
The musicians that dropped out of Freedom 250 know a loser when they see one. And they know that they can rebuff the Mad King without penalty.
A Losing Streak
Trump has been losing all year. Remember when Canada was going to be the 51st state? Trump wanted our neighbors to the north and yet they are still free.
Greenland defied Dear Leader, too, despite being protected only by polar bears.
And, of course, Iran. We lost the war, a fact that Trump and the mainstream media refuse to admit. Lost it on the first day when the US Navy sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz not to return. The core duty of a superpower is to keep the sea lanes open. The British lost the crown during the Suez Crisis of 1956, another war of choice in the Middle East with an Israeli ally. History repeats itself.
Domestically, the regime has been losing in court all year, the latest being the Broadview Six case which collapsed under prosecutorial misconduct.
They don’t know what they are doing…
The Department of Justice purged the competent people (like the January 6th prosecutors) and replaced them with recent graduates and loanees from JAG who are unfamiliar with the criminal system.
I’ve been following the Metro Hair Toucher case in DC. It’s personal, since he stalked a friend of mine. You can watch criminal proceedings on Zoom and it is worrying. I watched a judge wave a law book at a government attorney and ask him if he understood a statute. He ordered the lawyer come to the bench so that they could read it together. It was humiliating, like being called to the front of the class by teacher.
They can’t even win against the bicyclists! A judge stopped the National Park Service from destroying the 15th St bike lane, since NPS didn’t follow any of its own rules and regulations.
Trump is a bully but the only people he can beat up on are people in his own family. I don’t mean his blood family; I mean the MAGA cult.
So, he does that, taking out his frustrations on allies like Senator John Cornyn, who he saw replaced with the corrupt and evil Ken Paxton. His intervention may turn Texas blue.
And in another manic act of dementia, he’s taken a paint brush to Washington, slathering the Reflecting Pool in blue and cluttering Freedom Plaza with statues, including one of a Delaware slavemaster.
The fountain in Meridian Hill Park has been fixed, something that the chuds in my mentions love to crow about. That’s their big accomplishment? Gas prices have soared, food is becoming unaffordable and millions are out of work but the fountain is ON. Hurrah!
There is an online rumor that Trump is going to put a statue of himself in Lafayette Square. Seems unbelievable but so did slapping his name on the Kennedy Center or staging a UFC fight on the South Lawn.
The Emperor Cannot Stay Awake
This is all going to end badly, and more quickly than we think.
Trump is dying. He cannot stay awake in his own Cabinet meetings, even with toadies like Marco Rubio shouting praise into his ear. He can barely stand and spends every night mad-tweeting while his doctors fabricate his medical record.
Like Hitler, Trump is going to tear it all down before he leaves this earth, unwilling to allow a world without his presence in it.
The good news is that he’s surrounded by incompetents. It will be Gotterdammerung meets Idiocracy. The Ring Cycle but written by a fool and performed by Vanilla Ice.
During Trump 1.0, I always assumed it would end with me fleeing the city as it was struck by disaster. January 6th was close to that.
Trump 2.0 will end in similar fashion. But bigger. More spectacular. A grand finale for the American Empire.
