Donald Trump has alienated all U.S. allies...

"Sold us out," is the way "Miles Taylor, who during Trump’s first term served as Deputy Chief of Staff in the Department of Homeland Security and famously revealed the existence of a resistance group within the administration," explained how Donald Trump is "abandoning our friends," around the world. On AlterNet, Taylor is very specific in citing incidents in South Korea, switching to the Pacific and the dilemma of two aircraft carriers, then over to Europe, with, perhaps, the worst of the three, where Satellite imagery makes it clear...

"Russia is building a network of secret drone bases within striking distance of NATO, with storage for a thousand attack drones at a single site."

To start, it would appear that Dufus Rump's love affair with Kim Jong Un has been rekindled, but if Trump thinks Vladimir Putin is coming to the party, he needs to think again. Taylor reports a Russian drone, loaded with explosives, was found at the Leipzig airport. The White House maniac has been trying to dump NATO for some time now with this being our current position...

"Western planners are quietly admitting they have no real plan for NATO’s nightmare scenario, a coordinated Russian and Chinese strike on two fronts, at the very moment Trump has hollowed out the alliance that exists to prevent such a surprise attack.”

I have been writing about the fact that both China's Xi and Russia's Putin must be keeping

Xi - Trump -Putin

their eye on the fact that Donald Trump is exhausting the U.S. munitions supply on the Iran War, and now both are probably completely giddy that Trump is shunning the very allies that could help him defend the U.S. against aggression. You have to wonder what they are waiting on. Taylor says Trump is pissed at South Korea because they wouldn't support him in the Iran War, calling Kim and North Korea "unthreatening and respectful."

Then, the author reminds Trump of the possibility during his first term that North Korea might launch a nuclear attack on the continental United States because Kim Jong Un was so "respectful." In the old days under rational and levelheaded presidents, the U.S. could take out North Korea in a heart beat. Today, under Donald Trump, I wouldn't bet on the outcome. At any rate, Kim could probably woo the Oval Office lunatic into laying down our arms so Trump could play dictator with his North Korean counterpart.

Just to show you how unsure Donald Trump is of himself and his administration, the Pentagon, under the direction of, perhaps, Dufus' top moron, Pete Hegseth, sent all U.S. allies a questionnaire asking whether these countries are adhering to President Donald Trump’s vision for the transatlantic alliance. In an Al Jazeera exclusive...

"The questionnaire asks pointedly whether the allies have been 'publicly supportive of US foreign policy priorities.'”

They don't just have to support us, they also have to call all their friends and neighbors and tell them about the fact that they are supporting the U.S. Whose imbecilic idea was it to embark on a PR program right in the middle of a war that most of America's allies oppose?

GOP congressman Don Bacon: Pete Hegseth "Stupid as Hell"

And there is yet more stupidity, compliments of Hegseth...

"Another bullet point poses the query, “Has the country shown alignment with the US approach to [be] ‘strong, clear, and quiet?'” a reference to a phrase used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in May." 

And just last week, China's Xi, who is a major Iranian trading partner, flat rejected Trump’s ‘economic D-Day’ threat where he vowed “tremendous economic consequences” against countries that continue to do business with Tehran. There's more...

Tehran also condemned the US president’s economic threat, with the Iranian Foreign Ministry warning that those who order or implement the levies “are liable to prosecution and punishment.” 

Tehran called the threat the "other side of the coin of war." And CNN analysts commented...

Several analysts told CNN they were skeptical that Trump’s claims would have the desired impact on an Iranian regime that has withstood oppressive economic sanctions from major world powers.

Let's take a quick look at the countries Donald Trump has alienated, and why...

• Canada over tariffs -
  
  
  
• France over the Iran War - 
• Italy over Iran War - 
• Germany over foreign policy - 
• Denmark over Trump Greenland threats - 
• So. Korea over removal military support -
• Japan over Trump's big mouth -
• Australia over tariffs -

When you look at the above list, it is obvious the United States has nowhere to turn for help in a state of emergency. Except to Trump's authoritarian friends whose assistance always comes with a catch. There is no free lunch, as the saying goes, and you can bet that Kim, Putin, Erdogan, Xi and all of Dufus Rump's other dictatorial cronies would extract every drop of blood available from the White House maniac before they finally cut him loose. He's an idiot, they know it, the world knows it, and that is the problem.

 

 

Latest Trump Stupidity+ collection:...News you might have missed

Sometimes you just have to look at the news and say, there is so much going on in the "Stupidity+" category that a collection of news beliefs is necessary to get us all up to date. This is one of those...

Donald Trump's Sec. Energy says the Strait of Hormuz is open for good, unless the U.S, decides to close it should Iran not follow up on a peace agreement. How many times has Trump said the war is won with Iran? How many times has Hormuz opened and closed" How many times have American delegates gone to other countries to negotiate an Iran deal? If you know the answer to these tree questions, you are aware that the United States government hasn't the slightest idea wat it is doing in the Middle East.

One of Trump's short-time(?) bozos just unleashed an outbreak of at least 222 cases of the flu at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. There are four hospitalizations and one recruit's death, which remains under investigation. The outbreak prompted the Air Force to reinstate mandatory flu vaccinations for incoming recruits, which Sec. Defense Pete Hegseth had made optional this past April. The military appears to be placing the blame for the outbreak on Hegseth.

Here's a great idea, owners of data centers would have to pay their energy costs under a new bill moving through Congress. There's a strain on the power grid, and voters throughout the U.S. are unhappy with data centers driving up their utility costs. The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state utilities to create a “large load standard” that would require data center builders to assume any additional costs needed to power these data centers. They had better straighten this out now before the AI scare takes front seat.

You have to ask the question, is all the monery being spent to track immigrants worth it? Spending on government contracts, some of which are, no doubt, Donald Trump's buddies. These contracts include AI tools to track immigrants, soaring to record levels under Trump. Spending with these firms doubled from 2024 to 2025, coming in at just over $310m. Then in 2026, that number escalated to a record $513m. And yes, Palantir, with a

huge government contract, and the Trump administration have forged a deeply intertwined partnership, which led to the White House maniac buying the company's stock before touting Palantir on Truth Social.

Democratic Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, finally said what many from the left have been espousing for some time, 'it is way past the point for new leadership at the top of the party.' As MEDIAite put it she, "threw Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) under the bus during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Straight Shooter with Stephen A. on Thursday." I will take that a step further, replace Ken Martin as head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). In other words, we need a cleansing of this whole gang and bring in those who can bring the left to where it should be. How about Progressives...they're winning everywhere?

This keeps coming up, Donald Trump comparing himself with 'Hitler, Mao, and Stalin, three of the most abhorrent dictators the world has ever known. Trump seems to adore them; even had a copy of Mein Kampf in the side table drawer of his bed at one time. You have to

Trump says YES, it's OK to
compare him with Hitler

wonder just how many times the MAGA maggots and other followers of the White House maniac have heard this, yet continue to follow him. He said Hitler. Mao and Stalin maintained their power through fear, then offered, "Who would ever do a thing like that?" Can you freaking believe this? People are living in constant fear of his ICE thugs roaming the streets just looking for prey.

You've probably heard about all the mega-mergers that have been happening recently, the kind that favor the wealthy donors to Donald Trump's coffers. But Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts says a, ‘tsunami of anger’ could cause many reversals, adding they, "could be undone by a future administration." Case in point, Trump's DOJ approved a, "$111bn merger of Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of CNN and HBO, and Paramount Skydance, and includes CBS News, all of it controlled by the Ellison family. Enter the incompetent Bari Weiss, head of CBS News, drooling over Donald Trump. This puts two major news networks under the control of a Trump suck-up. Watch out for November.

This is one of those 'Its hard to believe' things' about Donald Trump, although there is really nothing hard to believe about Dufus Rump and what he would do. "Tucker Carlson Excoriates Trump: ‘Shut Up, B*tch! I Don’t Take You Seriously,’" was the headline in MEDIAite which apparently results from Carlson's opposition of Trump attacking Iran and starting a war. Didn't know Carlson had any scruples, but his reaction might just have been using the Iran War as an excuse when the former radio hack really wanted to unload an association with a previous crackpot turned mental case. As the saying goes, 'It takes one to know one.'

So, as Donald Trump wanders in and out of reality, will he some day just meander in and press the button for the bomb? Farfetched, perhaps but certainly possible for this lunatic.

Donald Trump administration Incompetence reincarnated from the Keystone Kops

Keystone Kops

Remember the Keystone Kops, a group of fictional, humorously incompetent, and bumbling policemen from the 1910 silent slapstick comedies? The big difference between these guys and the Trump gang is that the Keystone Kops created their comedy for the purpose of entertaining us. On the other hand, Donald Trump and his minions can be hilarious with their stupidity, but they are dead serious with their plan to destroy this country. Between Trump and his top honchos, the chaos and confusion in the American government today is completely unprecedented.

For starters, we're at war again, an unconstitutional move by Dufus Rump bypassing the legal way of going through Congress. He did it to satiate his ego and to appease another country's leader who is also out of control, Benjamin Netanyahu. Although the Democrats are voicing their opposition--but some say too little, too late--the jellyfish Republicans in Congress continue to maintain their silence while covertly supporting Trump the whole time. Will it take something like Lyndon B. Johnson's "Daisy" ad to shake the radical right loose?

And, just yesterday in The Daily Beast Donald Trump...

"claimed that the Iran War was “very complete” after reportedly discussing his plans for peace with Vladimir Putin."

Okay, starting in March, Trump and Putin are once again communicating, with the Kremlin describing

Trump...Putin

their relationship as "businesslike, pragmatic and trustworthy". Neither trusts each other, never have, never will. They have been vacillating on Ukraine for over four years, a situation Dufus Rump promised at the beginning of his second term in office, he would end in 24 hours. One might wonder now, will this end up in another TACO incident, 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' Should this happen in the Iran war, not only does the U.S. lose face, we also expose a completely incompetent Trump administration.

On Monday, the White House maniac said...

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.”

Weijia Jiang, senior White House correspondent for CBS News added,,,

"that the U.S. is ‘very far’ ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.”

The Daily Beast likened this comment to the claim...

"of President George W. Bush’s boast of “mission accomplished” on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003, six weeks after he launched the Iraq War. The conflict lasted another eight years before the U.S. finally withdrew in 2011."

As of March 10, 2026, the war involving Iran, the United States, and Israel has escalated into a multi-front conflict spanning several countries in the Middle East. The war has spread and also covers Lebanon, Gulf Countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar), Iraq, Maritime Routes (Strait of Hormuz & Indian Ocean), and Turkey. And has the Trump administration either forgotten, or is it just ignoring the fact that Iran has two very strong allies, Russia and China. Not sure what it will take for these two to step in but when it happens...annihilation and decimation.

And then there is Pete Hegseth, an American Army National Guard veteran, former second-rate Fox News host, who, by the grace of Donald Trump became head of the largest defense system in the world as Sec. Defense. He and Dufus decided the word "Defense" wasn't threatening enough so now they call it Sec. War. Hegseth graduated from Princeton so you might think there is some gray matter. Now wouldn't an educated man know that he is committing murder when he blows up innocent people, killing 157 off the coast of Venezuela. Of course, it was all ordered by Trump.

Yet, during all of Trump's war mayhem, including his continuing adoration of Vladimir Putin...

"The Washington Post reported last week that Russia is providing key intelligence about the location and movements of U.S. assets to its Iranian allies."

Indubitably, is there any way to address this with any kind of reasoning or common sense? To add some clarification to the dilemma, Donald Trump became the oldest U.S. president inaugurated at age 78, with concerns regarding his cognitive health by multiple medical care professionals, political commentators, and observers. Here's an observation from The New York Times...

"Throughout [Donald Trump's"] political career, critics, opponents, and some observers have used terms like 'nuts,' 'crazy,' 'unhinged,' or 'dangerous' to describe his behavior, speeches, and decision-making."

MAGA, the cowardly Republicans of Congress and a host of his minion supporters still think the man is sane, doing a great job, responsible for a good economy and numerous other accolades only a gang of double-digits could dream up. It is simply inexplainable how anyone could be allowed to continue on their job when they were a major fuck-up from day one. I am talking about Kristi Noem, the former Sec. Homeland Security. It is beyond me how Dufus Rump could have hired this imbecile to begin with. It's really obvious, loyalty is sacred to Trump.

And that brings up the Oval Office lunatic's new nomination for Noem's old job at DHS. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) a strong Trump loyalist, will take over the shambles from a completely incompetent Kristi Noem. Among other drawbacks, Mullin fully supported Dufus Rump's war on Iran. He voted against certifying 2020 election results and jumped on Trump's bandwagon about election fraud. Mullin is taking over a department that is currently shut down, in large part due to Noem's mishandling, including the deaths of two innocent American citizens by ICE.

We could use a round of the Keystone Kops to to get a laugh or two in all this misery.

Donald Trump's new administration of criminals

People who left Trump White
House first admin.

Donald Trump could not have done any better in assembling a gang of criminals for his administration than if he had conducted his recruitment in a prison. To begin with, Trump, himself, has been indicted in four cases, convicted in one and penalized in several civil lawsuits. Political scientists Austin Sarat and Tom Dumm, in a Salon article republished by RawStory, say...

"There is, of course, nothing wrong with giving people second chances after they have paid their debt to society," the pair wrote. "But everyone Trump has nominated or appointed thinks they owe no debt to society. Each of them contends or is portrayed by Trump’s transition team as a victim of a political prosecution or a left-wing smear campaign."

• First, there is former trade adviser Peter Navarro who will return to the White House after serving a prison sentence for contempt of Congress.
• And then there is his son-in-law, Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, who will be ambassador to France, despite his own criminal convictions.
• Although there is no litigation, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth was picked to be defense secretary, in spite of multiple charges of misconduct.
• Again with no litigation, former Rep. Matt Gaetz had to withdraw as attorney general nominee due to accusations of his sexual trysts with minors.

The authors bring up the competence of the nominees and while Navarro and Gaetz are questionable, and Kushner is most certainly borderline, Pete Hegseth's nomination as

Pete Hegseth

Defense Secretary is beyond ludicrous. There are lots more who are somewhat dubious but don't necessarily carry the baggage of legal problems. Are you ready for this?

• Marco Rubio does not have the strength to be Secretary of State.
• Pam Bondi would trash the Attorney General's office with her spoken vendetta of Donald Trump's enemies.
• There are screams all over the medical community from doctors and scientists that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will destroy medicine as we know it today.
• And Kristi Noem as the Secretary of homeland security is another one that keeps you rolling in the aisles with laughter.
• Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of national intelligence, is highly questionable since she doesn't really know if she's on our side or the side of the Russians.
• Dr. Mehmet Oz has a fascination with Medicare advantage, in lieu of its rival so his nomination as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator could jeopardize regular Medicare.
• Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy heading Department of Government Efficiency is a total joke. Two morons for the job and Ronald Reagan couldn't make it work. Donald Trump sure as hell won't be able to.
• Stephen Miller as Deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser worries me a lot. This man and his ideologies are just plain scary.
• Kash Patel as FBI director is in the Pam Bondi mode; would rein the department with his rage against Trump enemies.
• here is one who appears qualified for the job, Susie Wiles, as White House chief of staff. And if she can hold Donald Trump down, she will deserve our applause.

It will be interesting if all, or at least some of these nominees are approved by the Senate, just how long it will take for the axe to fall on the first one.
