This week in presidential stupidity

 Donald Trump, after having the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) dismantle the Institute of Peace earlier this year, now wants the agency rechristened after himself.

Trump's sycophants, like Secretary of State Marco "Polo" Rubio, will claim this honors "the greatest dealmaker in history", who has a record of having declared bankruptcy several times when his casinos were tanking. The truth is, Donnie Diapers wants to leave his mark in Washington any way he can, and screw the consequences. 

The next Democratic president, and there will be one, trust me, will reverse this, especially after Orange Narcissus is consigned to the trash heap of history

Then, Trump went on a bonkers rant, claiming "affordability" is a scam, just a month after he'd declared himself the "affordability president". Farron Cousins explains:

Also, Trump painted Somalis with an extra wide brush, claiming---without evidence, of course----that Somalis are "garbage". Sounds to me like head troll Stephen Miller wrote his press briefing.

The panel on The View weighs in.

Finally, Donnie whined and cried about Colorado Governor Jared Polis being unwilling to release former election worker Tina Peters, serving a 9 year sentence for fraud. As usual, Donnie lied about the Democrats, deflecting the truth away from himself and his allies for the zillionth time. Well, too bad for you, bub. That's really on you for refusing to publicly admit you got your butt whupped 7 ways to Sunday 5 years ago, and you're holding a grudge against the Democrats because you can't let go of 2020.

Bellevue will be waiting in 2029.
