Tom, I look forward to seeing your analysis of Trump's recent stupid post of the Obama's with ape faces.
I've been fairly inactive lately. My wife passed away five weeks ago and it's been hard to get back up and get going, but I'll get there. Still like your posts.
My deepest sympathies .Sorry for your loss . You are in my prayers for the strength needed at a time like this .
As for Trump ;I mentioned in a previous posting 1. they should take his phone away . 2 he needs a some help inside the administration and in the Repubs to have a rapid response messaging team . Forget Truth Social . Only the Trump bots go there . His messaging should be controlled and distributed to X Fakebook and all the social media . In addition he should have an army of JD Vance and Ron DeSantis types (people with brains ) who go on the compliant press networks to interview and write commentary . He has enough on his plate . He has to start delegating some of these responsibilities .
If the Repubs take big losses in the mid-terms then he will be a lame duck spending his time dodging impeachment bullets.
He says the message came from staffers . That would be plausible for anyone else. I don't believe for one second that he relinquishes any control of his Truth Social posts . It is him doing things impulsively .
I do think there was an over exaggerated reaction. The video was an infantile lion king satire that was cut and pasted to show only the part where the Obamas were monkeys. But in itself even without that ;it was silly of him to post it and unworthy of the President of the US to engage in that type of satire.
Even during some of the most intense partisanship of our history . The Presidency stood above the fray and let the flinging of feces left to surrogates . ie the very first election that was contested
Presidential mudslinging: An American tradition | Local Columns | journal-news.netQuote:
Back then, surrogates did the dirty work and prominent Adams supporters stated “we would see our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution” were Jefferson to be elected. A Connecticut newspaper warned that electing Jefferson would create a nation where “murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will openly be taught and practiced.” Jefferson responded with one of his surrogates: that Adams was a rageful, lying, warmongering fellow; a “repulsive pedant” and “gross hypocrite” who “behaved neither like a man nor like a woman but instead possessed a hideous hermaphroditical character.”
Calling an opponent a transformer is extreme in 2026 .Imagine the implications back in 1796 .
This all goes back to my posting today. There is good news to share . But Trump is too busy being the President to effectively deliver the message . He has to stop controversial postings . He needs a script when he speaks . Lately his comments are rambling and incoherent. He has to turn off the aggression. It is a turn off.
Let's put it this way. When Tim Scott calls his a racist ;he has a problem.
Tim Scott on X: "Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it." / X
In short, he needs to stop acting like a middle schooler. His social media posts should be intentional and well thought-out. He needs to play to win.Quote:

I just went on Truth Social . Mostly what he does is repost . When he does comment he does not go far enough in touting achievement. He should hand that stuff over to others who would expand on it.
He should have a monitor to check reposts before . He did not create that silly Lion King video . I'm sure he does not know how . He saw it and did not have the discipline to leave it alone.
Others like this comment about Tennessee does not go deep into the policy.
He missed the bigger picture by a mile .Quote:
I just approved $60.6 Million Dollars for the Great State for Tennessee (which I won three times!), for the severe winter storm that they are recovering from — Incredible people, that I know will rebuild, FAST! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
The reason Tennessee is having a nightmare with winter while other surrounding states are not is because of woke , DEI and ESG policies in the state .
It really is outrageous that the people of Nashville are still freezing out of power more than 2 weeks after an ice storm.
Nashville is furious about power outages. Republicans say ‘woke’ is to blame.

When LA burned his response was right on. But he is doing it alone.
He needs to get out of the social media business and let his allies take it over. He needs to be Commander in Chief not communications director
ABC news had a round table where they spent the whole segment piling on the video he posted . Who was the Repub on the panel ? Chris Christie .
One thing is clear . Even though I don't believe Trump is a racist .I have cited why I believe this in the past with both the associates he has and the polices he enacted . But all the false things said about him will now be impossible to dispute. This incident is being pounded and will be pounded throughout the rest of his term.
Meanwhile while this story and the press obsession with Nancy Guthrie ;real news that Clueless Joe's administration buried .
The same Chinese national who was running an illegal bio lab in California also had one in a Las Vegas Air B&B .
China tied biolab found inside Las Vegas home owner Jia Bei ZhuQuote:
More than 1,000 pieces of evidence with “potential biological and hazardous materials” were primarily located in a locked garage, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press briefing on Monday.
Investigators identified the owner of the Las Vegas home as Jia Bei Zhu, who is already in federal custody following the discovery of an unauthorized biolab in Reedley, California, in 2023.
Zhu was arrested in that case on federal charges alleging he manufactured and distributed misbranded medical devices, including tests for COVID-19, pregnancy and HIV, without proper permits and made false statements to the Food and Drug Administration. He is scheduled to go on trial in April.
