Trump suffers middle of the night CRASH, what’s happening?
Donald Trump spent the entire night spiraling on Truth Social, posting unhinged rants from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. as tensions with Iran escalated. Rather than offering any leadership or clarity, he lashed out at Tucker Carlson, Gavin Newsom, Emmanuel Macron, and the media—often contradicting facts and his own administration. His posts ranged from insecure attacks to bizarre denial of diplomacy, all while failing to address the looming threat of war in any substantive way.
Anti-war Trump is…taking us to war with Iran?
Donald Trump, who long claimed he would prevent World War III, is now escalating tensions with Iran—warning civilians in Tehran and threatening military action. This comes after he tore up the Iran nuclear deal, which had been keeping the situation stable. His actions contradict years of antiwar rhetoric and echo the same “wag the dog” politics he once accused Obama of. Instead of preventing war, Trump may be helping to start one.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump military parade FLOPS, HUMILIATED by puny crowd
Donald Trump’s military parade was an embarrassing flop, marked by a much smaller-than-promised crowd and a lack of energy or spectacle. Despite expectations of an authoritarian-style display reminiscent of Russia or North Korea, the event was underwhelming, with empty bleachers, awkward theatrics, and even a tank rolling by to classic rock music. The military presentation looked low-budget and out of place, and Trump appeared visibly unhappy.
From yesterday’s show:
Disoriented Trump desperate to recover from DISASTROUS weekend
This weekend was a political disaster for Donald Trump, with no new trade deals materializing despite previous promises of "90 deals in 90 days" and the military parade drawing an embarrassingly low turnout. Meanwhile, five million people protested against him, completely overshadowing the sparse and awkward spectacle he tried to frame as a patriotic triumph.

The only thing tRump is able to do well anymore is sleep. He needs to go.
Senor TACO realized he was not going to be the star of the show and made up that excuse because he knew they had him figured out and he would be sidelined in any conversation. They cannot take him seriously because he is erratic (and stupid).
