Small story that shows Trump’s lack of knowledge and in competence. He brought in a $100M in gold from Venezuela, and stacked it in his office to show off. It’s usless. The gold was mined by cartels and gangs. It became like blood diamonds. Refiners here can’t and won’t touch it. It’s illegal.

Trump is busy going only to the very reddest locations because he gets at best tiny crowds elsewhere. He’s self soothing ahead of his impending midterm carnage.

Using the words Hegseth with autonomous weapons, religion, testosterone, and billionaire’s, in a sentence is a recipe for a holy war disaster. God forbid.

I see two Trump scenarios. He knows he’s losing and his fallback is usually a distraction. So is sending 10,000 more troops towards Iran a feint, or is this a desperate attempt to show he can be victorious. He’s got 30 days before midterms and I have memories of Jan 6th. He’s mentally ill.

10,000 marines and a third aircraft carrier heading towards Iran. Smells like Trump is desperate for a big pre-midterms victory to keep power. After all they are his personal marines, navy and air force to use any way he pleases.

The latest gifts Trump has given us is taking away access to Canada Med for many thousands. It’s now $500 a month for Eliquis purchased in the US. It was $200 for 90 days from Canada Med. There are many other needed medications in this place. Trump Rx? Zero help. He only acts for personal revenge.

In the news today mortgage rates jumped up to 7.28 percent today. Trump blamed it on John F. Kennedy’s failed libtard DEI woke policies at a campaign stop in Denton TX.

I’m enjoying listening to campaigning republicans verbally tap dancing around Trump questions. It’s clear they believe the Trump Titanic is holed and taking on water fast while the band plays on and on and on.

Trump announced the world’s largest steel plant in America costing $15B and employing 2000 will be built in Iowa. They will buy $2.5B of Minnesota iron. This is Trump midterm made up bullshit. No funds, no dates, no nothing but Vaporware. We’ll see more of this kind shit as we get closer to Nov.

Kinda the way it is. “I’m President Trump. I can take anything, and do whatever I fucking want. If you don’t like it I’ll hurt you hugly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Will Trump end the war? He will never end the war unless he can say he won. This won’t ever happen He will never carry the tag “Loser”, no matter how high the cost we will all have to bare and pay. The only answer is in the 25th amendment most soonest.

Trump is not a smart man. He’s in his second term and the only thing Trump cares about is Trump. Food prices up? Trump builds a $13M helipad. Inflation’s too high? A $1B ballroom is being built. Oil’s at $100 a barrel, build a Triumphal arch. The worse things are, the more he puts in his pocket

Yeeee. The new “Trump TV” Youtube ratings were worse then the remake of Charlie’s Angel’s. 8k views at best last night and copyright lawyers are going to get rich on the massive theft of artist’s content. Production values look like the content was put together in N. Korea, and maybe it was.

Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The best use of an arch, obviously. "President Trump said on Sunday his planned 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington would be built to host “large numbers of drones,” snipers and ammunition" You have to be way MAGA stupid to buy into his fictitious BS. I’d like to see the plans. No? Top secret?

Obama had 78 lawsuits filed against him while in office (two terms) Trump has already 850 lawsuits filed against him during his second yet unfinished term. Corruption, and greed, and power grabbing is expensive. Unfortunately we pay the bill for him.

Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Trump is, and has always been nothing more than vaporware. Promises not kept, poor excution, and nothing done unless it benefits him. We are now watching his meltdown amidst his final desperate grabs at power and casting blame. This won’t be pretty but with him gone we can start healing. Midterms!

Only Trump could be so shallow and jealous of a slain and revered president to co-opt his memorial by putting his name on too. Countries all over the world donated to build it. Trump’s goal is to erase the memory of JFK leaving only his cheap gold leaf and name in its place. Trump is extremely sick.

Trump seems suprised that after his constant, corrosive and aggressive attacks on Canada they would move to align themselves with the EU. Their failure to bend the knee to Trump made them an enemy to him. They are better off in the EU than being fucked over by Trump daily.

I’m trying to figure out what Trump has done to earn all his glorification. Start a failed war that forced oil costs up world wide? Made $2B in grift from being president? Insulted and drove away all our allies? Hurt our economy with thoughtlessly used tariffs? Tried to suppress voters?
000
Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
It’s truly hard to beleive you could elect a more poorly equipped President then Trump. Intellectually short, boorish, greedy, unreliable and inconsistent, self glorifying, and incapable of dealing with world affairs. His days seem be be driven exclusively by whether he’s constipated or not.

Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
As we get close to the midterms Trump will get bellicose and desperate. Watch for slow but steady increases of the military assets in DC. This will match increases in HHS ICE agents moving into DC also. He will scream rigged at the top of his lungs and ask MAGA for help. God forbid. Not again.

Dallas midterm Trumppalooza update. Trump is telling us America is a shit hole and only he can save us. All Trump’s PAC money is going to Trump because only he can save us. Trump reminds us he won the Iran war because only he could. Trump tells MAGA the only hope is from immigrants is Trump

I’d like to see someone create a life size statue of Trump with his arm around J Edgar Hoover. Comrades in arms.

Now that Trump has made gas cheap, burger is at record lows, fertilizer a bargain, he has won the Iran war, housing is affordable, mortgage rates are going down, our food is safe, and Trump is spending a care free weekend as usual playing golf.

Only a mentally challenged obese octogenarian who only travels in an armored limo and a golfcart with a notable list to the left side can declare bike lanes and walking paths are DEI. He’s busy canceling grants to stop these heinous leftist activities from occurring.

"Anyone? Anyone? .. Anyone know the Hawley-Smoot Tariff? Anyone? .. It was enacted by the Republican-House of Representatives in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? .. Anyone? ..The Great Depression." This is Hoover’s law Trump is using to tariff Canada. Made things much worse.

Got flack over a FB post where posters were upset that Trump is always being blamed for our problems. I would buy that if he wasn’t the guy in charge. Truman had a plaque on his desk. “The buck stops here.” In Trump case it’s someone else who causes problems and the buck stops in his wallet.

I’d like to see states that have any dignity promptly pass a law saying it’s illegal to sell any atlases that don’t keep the name “Lake Ontario” on their maps. Or maybe Canada should rename one of their lakes “Diaper Don Dementia Lake”. Heck rename your landfills after Trump too.
000
Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Trump signed an Executive Order today changing the name “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America”. This is one very sick, ugly, and vindictive asshole who needs to be impeached before he destroys us. Frankly I’m surprised he didn’t name it Lake Trump WTF

Trump said that he would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of “product for ground beef” to be imported. Note his wording “product, not beef. Can Trump think we’re so stupid that we’d buy burger mixed with LFTB (that’s pink slime)? MAGA’s might not know better, but I do and wouldn’t. I want US Beef.

So we got hacked big time by China. Not surprised, the fatman is asleep at the wheel and can’t even use a computer. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency faced huge workforce reductions by Trump. They lost a third of their personnel in 2025 budget cuts for his BBB tax cuts.

Only Trump could cause a 50% increase in toilet paper and cause a shortage at the same time. He’s not a long range thinker, in reality he has about a three minute attention span. 64% of our toilet paper comes from Canada

A particularly ugly, but a most Trump like story in his typical and cruel way. Seems horses are in the way of public land leases, and are better off on dinner plate somewhere.

So where is Trump getting the 300,000-metric-tons of beef from that will sell for 25% less than US beef in the stores?Anyone actually inspecting this beef? How many screw worms will they allow by the pound? Okay ranchers, you helped elect this idiot, sorry he cast you aside, but I’m not surprised.

I’ve touched on this. Joyce Vance has a good assessment on why we have all of a sudden so much contaminated food. Seems more than some comes from Trump donors cutting corners. joycevance.substack.com/p/bad-food?u...

Natalie Harp’s job was to make Trump feel good about himself. He just got media daily that praised him, and none that was critical. This lead him to believe in his own magnificence. Not her fault, she was paid to to do this and did it well. The catch is he wasn’t good at anything at all.

Trump’s approval ratings are falling. This is good news, and bad news. The reason for the bad news is he loves the power and money too much to leave office without a fight or coup attempt. Huge new heliport pad, defensive drones on the ballroom roof, 4500 Natl guard in DC, new hardened bunker…

Bill Bishop @navigated.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
To the Supreme Court. You have a choice to make. Trump can build his billion dollar ballroom, or if that’s good with you he apparently can also tear down down the White House and build a huge hotel with a billion dollar presidential suite. You’ve given him the power to do so. Shame.

Hogseth is taking Trump’s advice and has ordered coal fired catapults to throw large rocks at Iran as part of his back to basics program.

Trump has declared economic war on Iran partly because we’re getting low on munitions. He has also threatened every country in the world saying, “Any country providing any type of lifeline to Iran” will face "tremendous" economic repercussions from me.” I can hear the world laughing at Trump already

The US debt has now passed $40 trillion dollars under the Trump admin. Somewhere between $3 to 4 trillion dollars were tax cut for the very rich. No, they didn’t build factories and employ millions, they kept it and bought yachts, jets and mansions and got tax write offs for doing that.

Despite, removing development options from 20th-century commercial redevelopment through the active lobbying of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy of Lafayette Square it’s rumored Trump is contemplating building a “Trump House” luxury hotel for important dignitaries and friends on it’s 7.5 acres.

South Korea severs military ties with the US. This is another of too many long term allies Trump has thrown away. In this case he favors the North Korea notorious dictatorship. Remember Trump is only about Trump and not about us. He has a strongman fetish. Shame he isn’t smart enough to be one.

The White house bunker in FDR’s day had included a small personal bedroom and bathroom for him. Likely the new bunker for Trump will have a 20k sq ft suite, chefs kitchen, huge TV room and a bunk house for his servants.

Trump’s running out of options with his misguided and losing war against Iran. Oman has been trying to mediate to help the US, but a frustrated and out of optionsTrump lashed out said he would bomb Oman too. It will give him a tiny chubby, and things worse. He’s not smart enough to do anything else.
