One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn’t belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you’re absolutely…right!
The $hit Show continues and Trump continues to push the chaos theory of change to unprecedented limits. How far can he go? Oh, I think we may find out before this is all over. After his lack-luster “world tour” that only highlighted his incompetency for all to see. The idea that Trump is a joke took root on an international level. His feelings were hurt BIGLY during the last portion of his trip when world leaders did not kowtow to him. Let’s just say his agenda of “America First” did not go over well on the international stage…SHOCKER.
After the world swooned over Macron’s purposeful hand-shake, which was a public smack down, Trump was rumored to be infuriated. Macron described it as a moment of truth, a show of strength. It is well known that Trump uses this posturing to establish dominance so Macron just played to his level.
“My handshake with him, it’s not innocent,” Macron told the Journal du Dimanche in an interview published Sunday. “It’s not the alpha and the omega of politics, but a moment of truth (1).”
Was it all about the handshake? NO. Trump felt snubbed on every level. What did Trump expect after publicly berating leaders during his inappropriate and awkward NATO speech that went over like a lead balloon. The world was hoping Trump would reaffirm his commitment to mutual defense of NATO members and allies, article 5. Rumor has it Trump deviated from his planned speech and surprised even those closest to him when he did not reaffirm his commitment to the article 5 provision (2). We know when Trump goes off script it usually goes well…..Yeah, right. Why consult your National security adviser, McMaster, Defense Secretary, Mattis, or Secretary of State, Tillerson–What do they know? Did it make them and the rest of the US look like idiots? Sure did, but President Bannon has an agenda, folks, and it is clear he is pulling the strings.
Merkel and other leaders have made-pretend long enough. The US is being lead by a buffoon and there is no way to disguise that fact anymore. OUR EMPEROR IS NAKED and now other leaders are calling him out.
Merkel publicly spoke out against the US change in NATO policy and this is a direct rebuttal to Trump, “the times in which we could rely fully on others — they are somewhat over (3)” she declared. Yup, the US cannot be relied upon.
Has Trump been on his best behavior since returning back to the US? HELL NO!
He began tweeting the minute he returned to US soil and those of us who were enjoying the respite from that public humiliation once again got that pit in our stomachs. Recognizing the President is a lunatic and is likely to cause a major catastrophe because of his love of twitter is a hard pill to swallow. I don’t have time to highlight all the ridiculousness but I will give you my TOP 3 STUPID TWEETS from the last week:
- Announcing his decision to pull the US from the Paris Climate Accord as if it was a reality show (only one of 3 countries in the world who now does not participate-Syria does not participate because it is in the middle of a war and Nicaragua did not participate because they felt the Paris Agreement did not go far enough in protecting the environment). Yes, he voted the US off the planet. Why? Because that handshake was embarrassing.
- Using his own tweets against him in court must feel so wonderful. How is the Department of Justice supposed to defend his travel restrictions in front of the Supreme Court now…I really love how dumb he is.
- Terrorist attacks on foreign soil and leaders around the world sent love and support. Not Trump. What a pathetic excuse for a person.
We need a leader, folks. This guy has got to go. James Comey you better have something good for us Thursday. PLEASE!

How are you coping? Asking for a friend.
Artist, Alex Gardena, who created the Wall Street “Charging Bull” statue was not happy when the “Fearless Girl” was installed. She was placed in celebration of Women’s International Day and due to her popularity was granted an extended stay by Mayor Blasio. She stands tall despite her short stature facing the “Charging Bull” down. A girl standing against oppression is what many see. Her fearlessness and strength are symbolic of the struggles of the everyday girl/woman and particularly poignant in today’s political climate, in this Trump-Era. Alex, unfortunately does not see or understand the strong connection people feel with that fearless girl and publicly opposed her placement from the get-go.
