Fentanyl is a WMD. We are going to bomb Venezuela, because that cute lady from there might give me her Peace Prize if I get rid of Maduro for her.
And heck, Toronto, too. We're going to make Toronto part of Detroit, like it should be.
And we're basing the B-52s in Panama.
The Pop group, not the plane, Pete says the Pentagon won't let me send US planes there, even though we had a base.

new moon that night and 3I/Atlas will be closest to us as it travels through. January 3, 2026 is another important day: the Eleventh Circuit has ordered Cannon to issue her opinion or provide the court with her reasons not to.

The nice thing about all this is it's got to be grinding on F45.

and an announcement of an Epstein-Free Zone to be enforced in the American media - which is handily mostly controlled by Trump acolytes now.

Dial up the gaslighting to 11.

To use a prime time address to tout "accomplishments" tells you all you need to know about the state of things---which are the OPPOSITE of what he says they are.

"Why are you Americans not grateful for all I have done??? My billionaire freinds say everything is going great!"

Maybe announce a follow through on his $2,000 rebate bribe to households? He'll play it as a benevolent gift from himself

I'm telling you. He's going to be so out of his mind that its going to be even worse than the Reiner post. His poll numbers are beyond recoverable, people are pissed beyond imagination over tariffs and immigration, the bulk of the country thinks war crimes are being committed, everyone knows he's covering for himself and those who have offered bribes in the Epstein case and the Reiner stuff has even the most die hard Maga saying "wtf?". He's flailing and thinks this will help him when it will be the nail in his coffin.
