Trump’s latest is — hold up.
This is Donald J. Trump. Felon. Just to verify who I’m writing about. He’s the Republican nominee for President of the United States in 2024. One-time POTUS, elected back in 2016, he failed to hold onto the office in 2020, but he refuses to go away.
Trump’s latest declaration is that children are getting sex change operations at school. Going in as one sex, coming home as another.
“Kamala supports states being able to take minor children and perform sex change operations, take them away from their parents, perform sex change operations, and send them back home,” Trump said in a Mosinee, Wisconsin speech.
That’s one of the greatest most out of touch things I’ve heard of him saying. Crazier than his speculation about getting killed by sharks versus being electrocuted if your electric boat sank.
Crazier than his declaration that Mexico will pay for a border wall. Crazier than his lies that wasn’t what he said.
Crazier than windmills causing cancer.
Crazier than his recounting of how the American military took the airports during the American Revolutionary war.
Crazier than his idea that raking forests may help prevent forest fires.
Crazier than his assertion that he actually won the 2020 election, even though he also admits that he lost it. Crazier than his assertion that he has ‘every right’ to interfere in the election results. Crazier than his declaration that he’d been dictator on day one. Crazier than his insistence he knows nothing about Project 2025, despite the evidence of him bragging about it.
Do you realize how crazy and out of touch this latest is? Schools don’t have the money to buy school supplies, and he thinks they have enough money for surgical operations?
C’mon, man. Where are the operating rooms? Are teachers doing this surgery or are they hiring surgeons on the sly? Maybe he thinks the surgeons are volunteers, right?
Seriously, though, this is the best the GOP has to offer the nation, the world, and themselves, a man claiming without any evidence that children are being operated on in schools?
That party has lost its way.
Vote blue in 2024. Please, please, please. Are you seriously willing to accept a person who makes such baseless claims?
If so, I have an airport to sell you. It’s secret, though, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Trump goes there all the time. You’ll love it.

You made me laugh, Michael, but it really isn’t funny. It is hard to believe anyone supports him. Sadly, there are those who do. I just hope there are less of them, that some have seen the light.

Fifteen years ago, who would have believed that such utter nonsense could be spoken by a presidential candidate … and BELIEVED by some??? The times have changed, and NOT for the better! Good post, Michael!!!

I think it would help if there was more connecting Project 2025 to Trump’s own Agenda 47, as well as the Republican National Party’s platform; they are all of a piece. Maybe some intrepid journalist could even find out for certain which of the 3 manifestos came first! (But I believe all the involved parties worked together on the plan, and now we have 3 separate documents of the same thing.)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I find it completely baffling that a loser like Donald Trump was elected President even once. It’s obvious to me that schools can’t be doing transgender surgery. Apparently, they don’t even have time to teach civics, recent history, or even the English language anymore.
Civics: Anyone who had a cursory introduction to the Constitution and our form of government would know that those who wrote it gave the most authority and responsibility to the Legislative Branch (the 2 chambers of Congress); not the Executive Branch. Article I is more than 2 and a quarter times as long as Article II. That’s only the most obvious indication that the Founders were more focused on Congress than the Presidency. Maybe someone needs to bring “Schoolhouse Rock” back to TV.
Recent History: Donald Trump did not suddenly spring into being when he came down the escalator in 2015. Nor was he created to host “The Apprentice” or to spend more than $200K for a full-page add calling for the restoration of the death penalty so that 5 teenagers who were railroaded into confessions in the Central Park Jogger Case. (those teenagers are now out of prison and called the “Exonerated 5” after DNA evidence and a confession by the actual rape/murder perpetrator’s confession.)
The English Language: We so often hear that Trump should be President because he’s “such a good businessman”. Firstly, the United States of America is not a for profit company. In the best of all possible cases, we’re supposed to break even. Secondly, it’d the Federal Administrative or the Executive Branch not the Federal Management. The President’s job is the lead of the branch of the government that executes the law and administers to The People. Even if being a good businessman were a significant skill for presidents, Trump lacks that skill. It’s been said that the reason “The Art of the Deal” is so hard to read is that it has 6 Chapter 11s.

If someone wrote this as a comic episode in a novel or in a movie, people would boo at it. Too extreme, they’d say. People just don’t behave like that, they’d argue. And yet this Daffy Duck politician wannabe did, and was elected to the highest office in the land.
The next generation (if we survive this one) will look back and think, what were they smoking…and “oh, man, I gotta get me some of that stuff…”
