With zero proof or evidence Trump doubles down on his lies and tosses Wine Box under the bus. The only evidence of actual damage is his motorcade's tire tracks.

Real GDP grew at an annual rate of 1.5% in April–June, according to the Commerce Department's advance estimate out this morning — and economists had penciled in roughly 2.3%. That's a big miss. I'm sure we'll hear new shrieks from the economically ignorant Trump for his guy to cut rates.

If you fly from Fukuoka, Japan to Palm Beach, FL your ticket reads FUK-DJT. If you fly from Palm Beach FL Souix City, Iowa, your ticket reads DJT-SUX.

Argentina vs. Spain. I don't have a stake in either winning...except I want Spain to win as that means Trump has to hand the trophy to Spain since he just *had* to insert himself into the Wolkd Cup. Somehow he'll ruin it.

After 3 years of stalls, delays etc. by rapist Trump, E. Jean Carrol receives her $5.62 defamation settlement payment. The Coppertone Caligula will claim it was paid due to a) fake verdict b) crazed lefty judge c) not worth pursing. What you will never hear is a clear admission everyone else saw.

Shock of shocks - the Prince of Failure from Trump's first term is not only using his so-called diplomatic role for personal financial benefit but is also working with Albania's version of organized crime leader. Businessman who sold land to Kushner faked the deeds: www.reuters.com/world/europe...

In Trump's chaotic tariffs fiasco, he claimed to bring manufacturing and jobs back. He recently took credit for tariffs for Toyota's move to return Tacoma manufacturing to the U.S. (It wasn't why). Under Trump, manufacturing has suffered a growth reversal from Biden, losing over 100,000 jobs

Republicans went apeshit when Obama added a basketball hoop to the tennis courts. But they're silent over this trail of destruction by the Coppertone Caligula, the Great Builder".

I remember as a kid the happiness, positivity and joy around our bicentenial. Trump has sucked all that out of the 250th. I can hardly wait for it to be over so I don't have to hear or see his shit about it.

It turns out the no-bid contract for reflecting pool went to a long-time big financial and political supporter of Trump. The name of the company? Greenwater Services. You just can't make this up. The jokes absolutely write themselves!

Weeks of bombast, attacks on prior Presidents, boasts of fixing it, spending $15m on bottom-painting after saying it would be $1.8m; driving his motorcade down it; and now a week after refill, the refecting pool has the worst algae bloom in 5 years and it's peeling. A perfect metsphor for Trump.
