For a general observation:


The news all about Trump looks ever more to "normalize" extremism, and lawlessness, and extreme language, and anger. All wrapped up in a lot of obfuscation and befuddlement and continual change such that there simply is no clear message.

All part of the game of a new wave of Propaganda?


Sadly, it seems to be working.

... Now that's not going to end well... For anyone...


All from Trump's USA...

President Trump shares new triumphal arch renderings on Truth Social

On January 23, Trump shared a triptych set of triumphal arch renderings on Truth Social. The post didn’t have a caption, so the source of the renderings, and the intent behind them, is unclear. All three proposals proportionally speaking evoke the Arch of Titus, on Rome’s Via Sacra—four engaged, fluted pilasters on each facade framing a single grand arch. The Arch of Titus was built following Rome’s military conquest of Jerusalem.

The new renderings of triumphal arches are similar in scale and materiality to the proposal by Harrison Design floated last year. Except these latest versions aren’t topped by a gold winged angel and have circular reflecting pools at their base.

Monumental ambitions: the history behind Trump’s triumphal arch

When Trump first displayed models of the proposed arch last October, a reporter asked him who it was for. Trump replied “Me. It’s going to be beautiful.”

In a December update, the president said the new arch “will be like the one in Paris, but to be honest with you, it blows it away. It blows it away in every way.”

Architects for the project, Jean-François Thérèse Chalgrin and Jean-Arnaud Raymond, drew on classical arches for inspiration, with Rome’s Arch of Titus (circa 85 CE) as the main source. It was built by Emperor Domitian (51–96 CE), a cruel and ostentatious tyrant who was popular with the people but battled with the Senate and limited its power to make laws.
Trump admires Emperor Domitian's heritage? Could be worse, e.g. Nero's...

As Donny sinks to an even lower level 1 must wonder if he has a KKK outfit in his wardrobe.

Trump posts, then deletes, video depicting Obamas as monkeys on his social media platform.

Even though Sleepy Crooked Donny wishes that the Epstein files scandal would go away it keeps on keeping on.

Ghislaine Maxwell will only talk if Donald Trump grants clemency, her lawyer says.

Meanwhile last night's Planet America delves into Donny and his family's corruption as well as the Epstein files.

There's no need for her to speak to anyone... as long as she stays behind bars for the rest of her life... and they meticulously ensure that only legitimate prison personnel approach her cell.

Another blow for delusional Donny.

US Supreme Court rules Trump tariffs are illegal.

The US Supreme Court has handed down a bombshell ruling against President Donald Trump's global tariffs, deeming them illegal and killing them off.

The court ruled 6-3 to uphold a lower court's previous finding that Mr Trump had illegally imposed tariffs under a law meant for national emergencies.

The decision is the most significant and consequential court strike-down of a Trump policy since his return to the presidency.

It means the US may now have to refund billions of dollars to businesses that paid the tariffs. However, it is unclear how any refund process would work, and the court decision did not provide clear guidance.

Legal experts say the decision is likely to spark a flurry of new claims in lower courts........
Only stooges Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito dissented.

Fired the dog shooter. I guess shooting people like dogs was too much for his base.

No, that's not the reason. The BBC argues it's her excessive self-promotion and penchant for luxury which Trump fears is too much for his base.

Trump cuts his losses on Noem after controversial tenure at homeland security

Sooner or later, advisers in President Donald Trump's orbit all come to learn the same unwritten rule: no-one can outshine the boss.

Trump is reported to have called Republicans in Congress asking if he should fire Noem, [...] It is perhaps telling that some immediately backed his decision on Tuesday.
