At 3:47 p.m. this afternoon, the President of the United States walked into the East Room of the White House nearly an hour late for the Small Business Summit he was hosting. He did not explain the delay, that there had been a man with a gun shot by Secret Service officers nearby, or that a child had been struck by gunfire and rushed to a hospital. Instead, he walked to the podium, and in front of hundreds of small business owners who had traveled from all across the country, for what was supposed to be the proudest day of their professional lives, he launched into a 67-minute ramble, airing all of his grievances and personal vendettas. With a voice that was softer than usual and words that kept slurring, he jumped from...
What I can’t understand is why anyone would attend an invitation to the White House. We have all seen how rude trump treats even the pope. How on earth a group of small business owners could subject themselves to the insults, they must know are coming. Maybe trump is right and his followers are stupid.
These daily propaganda performances aren’t attended by supporters, they are hostages looking for their “10 seconds of glory” standing next to a failing dictator. Thank you Heather for the courageous work you are doing to save our Democracy! Count me in.
One of the first signs you see in a family where one member is headed into and retreats into that cognitive decline is that the same stories get repeated time and time again. Each time it's as if it's the first time being told. We are seeing more of this with him. Each event the script is the same, the same stories repeated again and again. We aren't getting anything new, just refining the details so they look better in their own minds. Questioning the details that don't fit your own observed reality, just makes them angry and they lash out. We've all seen it in our own families, why isn't anyone calling it here.
My stepson has autism- and he has a tape that he says over and over- if he gets interrupted- he has to start over again. That tape gets old quickly…😮💨
So—okay—brick up the door from the outside, turn off the utilities and quietly create a new place for the next president. Let djt think he’s still “it” and ignore him. (I know—wishful thinking!)
He already proved he/they are NOT leaving…Jan.6, 2021 TREASONOUS Insurrection. He has mentioned staying another term or more many times. The Bunker is the real deal, not the glitzy ballroom distraction/cover, which he obviously also wants as every other authoritarian fascist dictator does. The bunker will have complete security, medical facilities, etc. He has already also stated that come November, if we hopefully can make it there and he/they don’t declare Martial Law from a FALSE FLAG to cancel elections, he knows he will be impeached. But the other issue is they’ve already planned for that with, most likely Vance, backed by the evil, fascist, Nazi, Thiel and Karp.
How long are we going to continue to listen while this cognitively impaired individual rambles on and on at every public appearance while simultaneously endangering our country and the world at large? We have a mechanism for correction of this and should have taken it long before this point. By now, JD Vance, who desperately wants to be President, must be on board with a 25th Amendment proceeding. Whether he can convince the rest of the Cabinet to go along will be a test of his leadership. We cannot allow this nightmare to continue.
there is a certain property where i live ( Monroe county PA) that has had trump signs and flags displayed for years, since his 1st administration. A few weeks ago the flags and signs were gone, replaced by an American flag. That made me feel a little better.
Thank you as always for your excellent report. It is indeed frightening that his staff is not reporting his serious decline. I hope you are reaching out to whomever has power - not for political reasons but because billions of lives are at stake.
Another terrifying post chronicling DJT decline. What is wiles doing for crissakes? The pretense has reached a level of absolute absurdity.. no wait. Guess not. Cuz it just keeps rolling like the rickety tanks on the streets of DC for the failed birthday parade. Remember that ridiculousness?!?
Those people got exactly what they deserved from a guy they chose to sit in a room with for their proud moment. Which tells me it WAS their proudest moment and that is exactly why MAGA still proudly exists. We will NEVER be free of them.
Would look forward to hear what some of those small business owners thoughts were by having to endure that meandering of his and how they see their day of recognition turned out to be just another “rally of rambling” from grandpa exclaiming that he passed his not just one but three cognitive tests and was able to identify the squirrel.. every now and then he may find his nuts..
Great observation on the paraphernalia coming down in Newport Beach. Seeing it in this area of “cherry red” Ohio that have taken down their lawn signs and observe more American flag’s now ever more present versus his mug shot… There’s no need to wonder why that ballroom is important to him, it’s just not that he’s afraid that he will not be remembered or admired as he wants to be, it’s because that bunker underneath he sees as vital to attain those additional years for him to be squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.. Thinking between his “flop sweat” and “nap times” fear the craziness is just beginning to start…
TJ, seems we are always on the same page. I 100%agree with you.
As I wrote above…

We know he pardoned all his “patriot” J6’ers now ICE Gestapo to be ready for the big dog whistles and defend their Nazi fascist KKKult leader and their MAGA/MAWA AmeriKKKa and they’ll be free to do as they please with continued EXECUTIONS and kidnappings of non-whites and “Domestic Terrorists,” and “ others” and imprisonment in Concentration Camps.
Project 2025-26, the Heritage Foundation, Palantir-Thiel, Karp and their Eugenics, Nazi fascist Manifesto, Elon Musk and ALL those Nazi fascist EPSTEIN Files tech. bros. And other wealthy Nazi supporting elites, etc.
Fear it’s going to unfortunately get a lot worse before better. As his niece Mary Trump has explained numerous times he will burn it all down before ever admitting any form of defeat..
Thanks for that article and writer. Do you have others you recommend?
I follow a variety-Lance Rosen(lots of political and protesting, etc. experience and he also wrote on the SPLC,), Heather Cox Richardson, It’s a Lovely Life Heather Delaney Reese, I Fucking Love Australia(always spot on, too), Aaron Parnas, Robert Reich, etc, and some Epstein Files deep divers and other writings-VERY interesting the ties and the Epstein expanding web-Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Anne Mitchell -lawyer, Racheland the city, and for ICE…Eyes on ICE on Eyes on ICE on Substack-Highly recommend that-ICE Gestapo and the Concentration Camps are beyond vile.
This is a good article from Lance’s Facebook page. I couldn’t get to his Substack to get it, (my writing gets taken away when you leave the sites “too long,”but you can check him out. Definitely relates and compares today with the past, especially trump-Hitler, etc.
It seems we follow the same.. here are a few others. Paul Krugman, Robert Hubbell, Dean Blundell, The Contrarian, Bullwark, The Mouthy Renegade, Rick Wilson, Lincoln Square, Project Salt Box- this is a good one about ICE and detention centers going up. Katie Phang, Heather Delaney Reese, JoJoFromJerz and her podcast, Robin Snyder (WTF), Katie Couric, Jay Kuo and The Status Quo, Brian Tyler Cohen, Mary Geddry, Terry Moran, Charlie Sykes, Timothy Snyder, John Pavlovitz, Miles Taylor, and Steven Beschloss. Try to get a variety of information from financial, political, business, social and health as possible..
Thank you, Ms. Reese. For the most part my neighborhood is pretty discreet about their political leanings. We did have one standout. From the time of djt’s first election he always kept his trump/vance lawn sign in his yard. When djt lost to Joe Biden, he added a little lawn flag that said “I could s**t a better president than Biden” and that sign remained in his yard until a few weeks ago when both the lawn signs disappeared. My belief is that the responsibility for the current administration now lies with the majority maga caucus in Congress and SCOTUS.
I hold up my middle finger every time I run by the maga house a few blocks from us. I notice their signs are down and lately they haven't been outside in their rump t-shirts.
He dictated his health letter awhile ago. Now there is a group of lying doctors. Exactly how long can modern medicine hold him up? How long can republicans commit this fraud, forever?
HDL: We all live in hope that your Newport Beach experience goes viral ...
"We were living in Newport Beach at the time, where every other house seemed to have a flag for him in their front yard, and then he attacked the military. He called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers.” And almost overnight, the signs came down. Not slowly or gradually, but within days and with very few holdouts. Either no signs went up to replace them, or Biden signs went up."

How on earth a group of small business owners could subject themselves to the insults, they must know are coming. Maybe trump is right and his followers are stupid.

They’re complete sycophants/true believers and they do not deserve our business.
Why does anyone even go there for these types of events? They already know it will be a complete waste of time and expense.
Trump should pay them to attend!

I wonder if his "bunker" is all about not leaving the White House when his term is up.
Nah, just brick up the door from the outside. "For the love of God, Montressor!"
Ooooohhh…Penny that is quite a scary thought isn’t it- but with him you never know. I can’t wait till it’s over‼️
So—okay—brick up the door from the outside, turn off the utilities and quietly create a new place for the next president. Let djt think he’s still “it” and ignore him. (I know—wishful thinking!)

That bit about Newport Beach is very interesting.
He needs to be deposed. NOW!

Without a doubt…unfortunately.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen this. I think I shared it before, but it’s worth resharing.

Another brilliant post, Heather. You and Heather Cox Richardson are a national treasures and a blessing to every American!
I can’t believe anyone supports this man anymore
He is clearly out of his mind and over medicated. The polls should be about 26% support him. He is a total train wreck

And the 79 million Americans like your neighbor who voted for him in 2024.
I hold up my middle finger every time I run by the maga house a few blocks from us. I notice their signs are down and lately they haven't been outside in their rump t-shirts.
