Trump, preparing to board AF1 to Tennessee today, looking lumpy, ruddy, puffy, blotchy, stiff, hunched, loser-y, and disheveled.

Here's a new photo of the happy and vivacious couple, enjoying life, and privately contemplating how they can do more good for the world. True love is such a wonderful thing.

A SAD, MALIGNANT, DELUSIONAL CONMAN AND FRAUD ... No integrity; No compassion; No empathy; No shame; No conscience; No courage; No character; No humanity; No morality; No manners; No respect; No music; No books; No happiness; No love; No friends; No honor. Not even a dog.

Would you really be that surprised if she opened her mouth a little larger and there was an inner set of jaws with smaller teeth that pushed out and snapped, like in Alien?

The happy and vivacious couple, in a moment of peaceful reverie. True love is so beautiful.

Here's Trump blinking as he soaks in the solemn ceremony, alongside his doting and loving wife, who is thinking about the tragedy of 9/11, and not at all about how much she's making to show up and sit near him.

I'm assuming that the MISSION Trump feels he has ACCOMPLISHED is that he made Iran a bigger player, gave them unfettered control of a shipping lane that had been free to all, depleted our munitions, f*cked our Gulf allies badly, and helped China. Nice job, moron!

Trump posted this morning that his "real" polling numbers are the best they've ever been. He is sooooo desperate to force-feed his reality on others. But he's increasingly seen as an old and unwell cartoon.

Copper: "Yesterday daddy was busy so at dinner time, a neighbor fed me. The neighbor didn't make up a song about how handsome I am. The neighbor didn't speak to me in a baby voice. There was no petting or kissies. He literally just put my bowl on the floor and poured food in it. Like I'm an animal."

I'm no attorney but I just can't understand how a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, serial criminal, adjudicated rapist, fraudster, pedophile, sadist, and traitor like Trump can possibly be defamed. What would someone have to call him for it to be defamatory?

The simplicity of the dwindling MAGA base - it's a thing to behold. They dine on bullshit claims, bogus narratives, and boogeymen. July's fad: COMMUNISM. None of them know what it means or its historical significance. They hear it, repeat it emptily, and get a rush of dopamine. Baa! Baaa!

This is Canadian PM Mark Carney's response to Trump's latest tariffs/threats. I am no trade expert. But I so envy Canada for having a leader who is lucid, informational, and operates for the betterment of his country without being impeded by malignant personality disorders.

Ironically, the only country on Earth not adversely impacted by Trump and Netanyahu's poorly strategized war against Iran - in terms of safety, cost of energy, and overall risk - is the heavily tariffed McDonald Island, which gets its energy from herring, krill, and squid.

My dog Copper doesn't speak English unless he has something important to say. Today, I got home, he was waiting with a stern look: "TV says humans have a trillionaire. It says he ended humanitarian aid that'll kill the poorest children. I love you daddy, but humans suck and should not be in charge."

Happy Mother's Day to your mom, my mom, everyone's mom. This is the second Mother's Day for me since mom's passing. First photo is me with her from 1987 on a cruise ship, second from when she worked in advertising, third from her 87th birthday, her last. Thinking of her, as I do every day.

This awesome image (credit to Thomas Levinson @ The Daily Beast) tells a current story of Trump, the disordered insomniac. He was hypomanic with late-night panic-posting: 25 of the 30 days in April! There are traits commonly associated with being a good leader. "Mania" is not one of them.

Copper woke me up at 5A, per usual. He wished me a happy birthday. I wondered how he knew. He asked me how I planned to spend the day. I told him I wanted to spend it with him. He asked me what I wanted. I told him I already have it. He smiled. He curled up on the couch, per usual. He's a good boy.

Trump, the serial criminal, posted that The Pope is "weak on crime." Yes, I said The Pope. I think it's important for us to remember that besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, rapist, traitor, and serial criminal, he's also an out-of-control idiot.

These days, Trump says almost everything with "mixed signals". That confusion reflects his ineptitude, advancing dementia, not reading, not learning, seeing dissent as adversarial, and pandering to a poorly educated minority, and the directives of FOX News.

This post by Trump (we assume) is symptomatic of him trying to force-feed his reality on others. He only knows threats, bombast and turning the dial up to 11. This is the simplicity of his panicky mind, craving for grandiosity, and impulsive mindset. It's a manifestation of his unfitness for office.

This photo from Thanksgiving was considered "unflattering" by Leavitt. She complained to the WH, who expressed displeasure on her behalf, leading to the photo's removal from its library, and subsequently from Getty Images. It's been disappeared. Vanity rules in a Reality Show TV presidency. Oy.

I returned from the supermarket; groceries are in this bag. Do you notice anything odd about the bag? Hint: NO F*CKING HANDLES. Had surreal conversation with the checkers/staff in the market, whom I know. "Our bags no longer have handles." It's a sign of the apocalypse, as if we needed more signs.
