The final catastrophe phase
Donald Trump has no class. None.

He is an embarrassment to every American, a living canker sore. His performance in front of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was pure idiocy.
When Trump was asked why the U.S. did not inform allies, such as Japan, before carrying out the attacks against Iran, he responded:
Who knows better about surprises than Japan … Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbour?
Each time there is a new photo from the Oval Office, it leaves me speechless.
What’s the word for this?
Tacky doesn’t quite fit.
There will come a day when all of Trump’s gilded crapola will be scraped off the wall. It will all be gone by 12:15 pm on January 20, 2029.
Trump’s name will be jackhammered off of the Kennedy Centre by the time the sun sets.
Corey Lewandowski is a great example of what life is going to be like for so many of Donald’s minions who were overcome by their arrogance and greed. Yesterday, NBC reported that Corey Lewandowski was demanding that some DHS contractors pay him to win—or continue to keep—contracts with the department.
The investigations will never stop.
Every detail of the corruption will become known.
More than $31 million in fees were paid out to consultants who were very close to Kristi Noem out of the $220 million advertising campaign, in which Noem was able to play dress-up and exhibit her dental work, hair extensions, and Mar-a-Lago face at taxpayer expense. All the while, she has been shacked up with Corey Lewandowski from the boudoir aboard Air F*ck One to the Coast Guard commandant’s residence.
Congressional investigators and journalists are going to follow the money, and it’s going to lead straight to Kristi Noem.
Pam Bondi is another corrupt Trump dimbulb on thin ice. She unravelled during congressional testimony during which she embarrassed herself and confirmed that the Department of Justice is lawless, incompetent, and dishonest.
During her testimony, Bondi claimed that Donald Trump had never had credible criminal claims made against him.
That was a lie.
Yesterday, Congressman Dan Goldman read FBI documents into the congressional record regarding allegations by a young girl that, between the ages of 13 and 15, she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. They were deemed credible.
Incredible.
MAGA is untroubled by these latest allegations against Donald Trump, though they are increasingly divided.
They are divided over the spiralling disaster in the Middle East, where the Iranian regime has withstood American and Israeli attacks and triggered the greatest disruption of global energy shipments in history. The economic shockwave is growing, and a cornered Trump is left without allies or options.
He has two moves: forward or back.
He can retreat or escalate.
Donald Trump will double down.
Donald Trump will order US Marines and conventional forces to attack, occupy, and hold Iranian cities’ territory on Kharg Island, which is the hub of Iran’s energy economy. Trump will reason that he will be able to blackmail the Iranians into reopening the Strait of Hormuz by threatening to destroy the captured facilities.
I am certain that the capture of Kharg Island is not worth the life of a single US Marine, and there will be many casualties.
That will be no surprise.
Donald Trump’s Pearl Harbour joke was tasteless idiocy, and his war is a spiralling disaster.
Trump can’t talk his way through it.
He can’t outrun Jeffrey Epstein, just like America’s consumers can’t outrun Trump’s high prices and inflation.
MAGA is entering its full catastrophe phase, and every American will feel the sting.
Worse and worse are what lie ahead.
