“Fake news should not be allowed in the White House!!! It has gone on far too long." — Apparently POTUS will no longer have access to the White House.

Will the prohibition for speaking lies and spreading fake news cause the White House to ban POTUS from the White House?

Simple, speedy solutions to complex problems will likely lead to unintended consequences. Unintended consequences either make the original problem worse or lead to new problems. A desire to seek simple solutions is characteristic of superficial thinking + advisors who lack experience & expertise.

We finally addressed a very great insult to our country when our President changed the name of the US half of Lake Ontario to Lake America. This has been near the top of my list of serious problems to be solved ever since I was old enough to vote. 🤪

POTUS is scrambling to push through his whims, irrespective of what the law is and what his advisors & GOP leaders tell him. And they are whims. There is no plan. And the only objective is to accomplish something … anything, before his ability to muscle through legislation is weakened.

U.S. Mint to produce $1 coin with Trump’s face on it, treasury secretary says. — Yet more self-aggrandizement from a person who is clearly very insecure.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

Bad news for Americans: “Trump’s doctor says he is in ‘excellent health’ after latest checkup” — Apparently this is as healthy and mentally sharp as he’s going to be.

Yep. He could do good; do nothing or do bad and he’d have been a winner. He elected to make bad decisions and he’s a loser.

NEW -- Trump extended his ceasefire, apparently indefinitely. More important: The deadline originally was today at 632 pm. Yesterday he extended it to Wednesday without explanation. Can he not read a calendar? Or was it the 7+14 part that threw him? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump Extends Ceasefire In Iran War To Allow More Peace Talks

If you look at all the senior advisors to POTUS and at Trump himself, a common denominator is that all are reality show wannabes. They are actors pretending to fill the roles to which the Faux President has appointed them. No relevant qualifications , experience or aptitude.

It becomes clearer with each day that Aspiring Dictator Trump makes gut decisions about his war on Iran with no understanding of the facts and consequences. He’s like the kid in school who doesn’t believe he needs to do his homework. That should be no surprise since he never does his homework.

C Bow @opinman.bsky.social · 30/03/2026
We have known all along that the US President refuses to do his homework — in this case with major negative consequences. And he surrounds himself with suck-ups rather than people capable of advising him. open.substack.com/pub/terrymor...
