Angle of attack (CNN): ‘But President Donald Trump is proving that a politician can absolutely harm the economy when they lack any regard for the consequences, borne largely by the people who elected them.‘
The T-Rump sucks:
This from the @washingtonpost.com is wild

However, he’s sucked for a long, long time. And so sucky, he’ll never reconize his own shitstorm:
Trump’s War With The Media: He Calls Unfavorable Polls ‘Illegal’ Amid Lawsuits And Threats To Defund Broadcasters
T-Rump’s old trick is legal on the illegal:
President Donald Trump—amid dreary approval ratings as he finishes his first 100 days—called pollsters for several major networks “negative criminals” and said they should be “investigated for ELECTION FRAUD” in a post Monday as he uses his government resources to increasingly attack the media.
Trump attacked pollsters for the New York Times, ABC News, the Washington Post and Fox News after all of the outlets have published surveys in the past week that show he has net negative approval ratings—echoing rhetoric he used in a Justice Department speech earlier this year when he suggested coverage by some outlets “has to be illegal.”
Paul Campos at Lawyers,Guns,Money this morning summed it up fairly correctly:
In any event, it couldn’t be clearer that the American electorate has the long term memory of a fruit fly. It’s as if 2017-2021 simply didn’t happen. Or more precisely, people somehow remember low gas prices but don’t remember trying to overthrow the government, hundreds of thousands of unnecessary Covid deaths, trying to extort the Ukrainian government, endless daily chaos, etc. So it is that three months into his second presidency, Trump is already wildly unpopular even though he’s doing exactly what he said he would do.
And because of our ever-more creaky and dysfunctional constitutional system, there’s basically nothing, as a formal legal and political matter, that can be done about this at the moment, even though in a parliamentary system Trump would already be hurtling into Liz Truss head of lettuce territory.
You do not know anyone as stupid as the marginal American voter. You just don’t.
The shock is in the non-surprise. T-Rump has always been worse than originally figured — a far worse horror up close.
Shit-on-a-stick, or not, yet once again here we are …
The image out front is my favorite of the T-Rump mugs. However, ‘favorite‘ does not mean in any form or fashion, as in ‘my favorite movie’ or ‘my favorite song.’ It’s more of an anti-appreciation/like.
And aptly titled, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong (and found here), it’s an image that displays the elemental form of a purloined sociopath — a bloated profile of flatulent bile and arrogant ignorance.
