At 9:32 last night, hours into the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner, "God Bless the U.S.A." began playing loudly from the speakers inside the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C. As the music played, Donald Trump stood up, gripped his chair with his right hand, and steadied himself before taking the short few steps to the podium. The song was then cut short, and he began to speak, telling the audience about the canceled first dinner back in April, "That was going to be a doozy," he said. "I was so psyched. I was going to rip people."
Commenting from the UK, it's clear that Trump must be removed from office or at least stopped in what harm he's doing. The world needs that to happen. The Democrats are placing all their hopes in the mid-term elections and by all measures their confidence is well placed.
However, Trump has made it plain that he will not accept any result that doesn't involve the Republicans winning. Between gerrymandering and threatening to put ICE officers on the streets, whether or not that's legal, he's doing everything he can to rig the elections.
I hope Democrats win the House and Senate but they have to realise that they have to do some serious campaigning to get the vote out and if the result does go their way, Trump and his acolytes will do everything in their power, and technically not in their power, to deny the win.
I thoroughly agree with you Robert. Trump is one of the most corrupt individuals on the planet. What do you expect of a man who had a copy of Hitler's book Mein Kampf on his bedside table, according to his ex-wife Ivanka. I just hope that our new PM will be more robust in his dealings with Trump.
One image that has stuck in my mind is when the people of Iraq tore down the towering statue of the authoritarian dictator saddam Hussein after the Americans pummeled the country in the 2nd Iraq war. That statue represents Trump and the dictatorial materialistic narcissist that must come down like that statute that was pulled down. Trump IS the end of his kind. He is the dinosaur headed to the inevitable extinction event. 2026 has the exact same calendar as 1914 when World War 1 began ending the 2,520 year long prophecy of Luke 21:24. Trump will go down in 2026. His karma assures this extinction event. He is not human His existence is no longer sustainable. . He is not worthy of bearing the distinction of being created in the image and likeness of the Creator. He is the “father of lies.” There is no truth to him. John 8:44. The arch comes down. The airport regains its identity. Any edifice bearing the name Trump will have his name removed. This is part of the paradigm shift from gross selfish materialism to the selfless nature of spirituality. Success will no longer be measured by money and power but by our humanity and our capacity to love one another unconditionally. This is the direction we are headed. The political system based on division will experience a transformation because of this spiritual revolution. Pluto is back in Aquarius after 250 years and with Uranus in Gemini back after 78 years it’s time to fasten our seatbelts because it’s going to be one heck of a ride. We must collectively transmute the 1914/2026 destructive energy to the energy of enlightenment, justice and interconnected Oneness. This is not wishful thinking. This is the emerging new reality.
Thank you always Heather for your selfless courage to speak truth to power. A power disintegrating before our very eyes. Trump is being judged by his own soul. We all are. It’s the Truman Show and it’s all being recorded. Everything. Every frame of the movie is preserved for eternity.
Heather you must be applauded for listening to the orange buffoon's tedious word salad. That joke (?) he made went down like a lead balloon didn't it? The man has absolutely no sense of humour, except crude jokes, which reflects his juvenile mind. No wonder the journalists at the WH dinner greeted his remarks in silence.
As for Trump seeking a third term, surely he's forbidden by your Constitution? Anyway, by that time he might be comfortably ensconced in a care facility for dementia patients. I hate to wish any human being any harm but I'll make an exception for Trump.
On another topic: lucky you seeing dolphins at play. I absolutely love the creatures but have never seen any wild ones. I just wish it were cooler here in Europe so you were lucky to have a cooler spell.
Dear Heather, my name is Kevin Woo and I'm a freelance journalist who has become hooked on you. Each day, you end each YouTube video by asking for people to help in any way they can. I'm already a subscriber but I think I need to do more. I have a proposal for you - you have a lot of material to sift through, fact checking and writing every day. It's exhausting. I know. I've done it. Would it be helpful to have some backup support for fact checking, chasing down material, gathering data for you and Pete? If yes I'd like to be your backup band for the low low price of $0. Here's some of my writing clips: thewriterwithoutaclause.com. You'll find clips from Forbes, Entrepreneur, One+ (I know you were a travel blogger. I was a travel writer) and legal stories from California Lawyer. I think you can find my Substack via this message right?
I have no agenda other than to help you through use of my reporting skills. I leave the writing and content to you. bentandlibby@gmail.com is where you can find me.

This is one of the most significant journalistic summaries of Trump that has even been written. This essay will be known decades from now.
