He’s POTUS… sets the bar pretty low if he’s doing that himself. Literally dumping on his subjects.

POTTY POTUS? Petty name calling if it wasn’t an accurate response to what he actually did!
Eventually ... will the bottom lion drag ... thus found in drag! Otherwise it is not as it appears ... elusive stuff!
British humor utilizes this facet ... alas it is getting to be a lost art ... the Satyr went missing ... as donkey's often do ... some poet even declared them like the wind ... just lie cranked! Wispy ... like blues in the swamp ...
But isn’t it usually the people jesting about the “king” with campy humour? This time the clown king really went ape! Actually poop flinging!
Seems the No Kings protests set him off on a tangent....he's a disgrace.

Just keep going....
I have a Friend who has moved here from the US during his first term who believes there will not be democratic elections again.

Well he’s almost 80 and not in good health, so he won’t be in office forever but his VP is also a nightmare.
Is it not the will for great power ... by a few ... the real difficulty that the paradigm sees hard to observe ... as they do not like to do, or think on their own? Hard work eh ...
First one has to convince those determined not to think, process and all that nonsense! Thus anarchy and chaos ... as if we wished in on ourselves when it was by the strong willed ... not to do anything strenuous! Thus they are laid back as luring about ... sometimes known as phishing. One has to get familiar with the hooking tendencies ...
Its no game that is played by rules ...

This came through on FB today. For what it's worth. I'll be looking for more information. Of course, it's quite believable given the personality of the man.
"BREAKING: Donald Trump demands that $230 million in taxpayer dollars be pumped into his personal bank accounts — and his reason is jaw-dropping.
Only Donald Trump could look at years of legitimate criminal investigations into his corruption, obstruction, and espionage — and somehow decide he’s the victim who deserves a taxpayer-funded payday.
In an unprecedented and jaw-dropping move, Trump is demanding that the Department of Justice hand him $230 million in “compensation” for the investigations into his own wrongdoing. That’s right: the same man who was caught hoarding classified documents, tried to overturn an election, and spent years undermining the rule of law now wants the American people to cut him a check — for doing it.
Even worse, the people who may have to approve this obscene payout are Trump’s own former defense lawyers — now conveniently running the Justice Department under his administration. It’s the very definition of corruption: Trump’s cronies judging whether their old boss should get millions of dollars from the public purse.
Ethics experts are horrified. “The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don’t need a law professor to explain it,” said Bennett Gershman, a law professor at Pace University. “It’s bizarre and almost too outlandish to believe.”
But “outlandish” is Trump’s default operating mode. This is the same man who publicly mocked recusal rules, fired the DOJ’s top ethics adviser, and stacked the department with loyalists like Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and Kash Patel — all deeply entangled in his personal legal messes. And now, those same people are positioned to decide whether he gets a massive taxpayer-funded windfall.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t some technical dispute over government procedure. Trump is literally demanding to be paid for being investigated — investigations that were triggered by his own behavior. He claims the FBI “violated his privacy” by searching Mar-a-Lago for classified documents. He insists the Justice Department “maliciously prosecuted” him for mishandling national secrets. In Trump’s warped world, accountability equals persecution, and justice equals profit.
And here’s the kicker — any settlement would come straight from our pockets. If Trump gets his way, taxpayers will be forced to bankroll his fantasy of victimhood while he continues to paint himself as a martyr of the “deep state.”
This is corruption so brazen it almost defies parody. Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his personal law firm, the Treasury into his piggy bank, and the Constitution into toilet paper.
He even joked about the absurdity of it all, saying, “I’m sort of suing myself. It looks bad, I’m suing myself, right?” Yes, it looks bad — because it is bad. It’s the kind of self-dealing, self-enriching, banana-republic behavior that every Founding Father warned about.
If Trump succeeds, it won’t just be a moral outrage — it will be a signal to every corrupt official in America that justice has a price tag, and that price is whatever you can extort from the taxpayers. Donald Trump isn’t trying to lead a country. He’s running a racket — and this $230 million grift may be his most shameless yet.
The Justice Department faces a test of integrity. Will it stand up to the most corrupt president in American history — or will it let him cash in on his own crimes? Because if Trump gets paid for being investigated, then justice in America is officially for sale."

I’m just reading about the ballroom - bulldozing a bit of history to ingratiate himself with a $200M ballroom! It upsets me to witness it and I’m not an American. His democratic counterparts have to start using stronger language. They need to really stand up to it. It’s horrible. The WH belongs to all the American people and it’s not his personal palace!

He’s such a prick. Sorry not sorry for the language. Tell him he’s being a prick, Dems. Say directly and bluntly, “Mr. President, stop being a prick!” Out alpha with the comments, behave brash (it’s the American way) like him instead of being square and righteous/ politically pious wonks, and see what happens.It won’t make it worse. He has disdain for weakness. Wonkish whining is likely seen as weakness. The Dems should start talking to him like blowhards - really! He might respect it, if done right. Decorum won’t make a difference. He speaks power. He’s speaking “power to truth” (borrowed from Marc Maron), they need to more strongly speak truth to power and use their first amendment rights. Being polite will not even be heard, just exploited.
Save the diplomacy for Carney.
US Dems need to be stronger voices I think.
Get experts on malignant narcissism working on solutions, as advisors. Think out of the box. The Dems sound like little more than passive observer/ commentators. He respects toughness. Talk to him like Texas oil barons. Take a strong posture.
Then again, who even knows? Can’t anyone outsmart this guy with his own language? He’s not that complex.

More Bernie. They need more Bernie.
Take multiple approaches. Get a tough redneck in a cowboy hat with a booming voice to tell him “Sir, I voted for you but you need to stop being an a**hole or let’s take it outside!” That, he might listen to. I guess nobody will risk it.

Or maybe inspire another AI king-in-a-warplane attack…
Get some pro-wrestlers to challenge him to a personal match if he doesn’t smarten up. That’s his language, his inner world.
No. Protesters are not his thing. He doesn’t respect that he’s just jealous of crowd size. Pro-wrestlers and burly cowboys talking to him through the TV are his thing …
lolGet some counter-spin going, involving an oiled up Arnold Swartzehagger on a horse.
