Is he dead yet?

Got lost in the West Wing, tried to call for help on a Trump phone, and starved?

Coronary upon learning that he doesn't actually own the parliamentarian?

Torn to shreds by the families of terminally ill patients denied Medicare hospice care?


Just fucking died already for literally any reason at all?

The last straw was building a $1 billion ballroom and saying, “Let them watch us eat cake.”

is transfixed to the point he goes into shock from the lack of caffeine from Diet Cokes;.

Not quite transfixed enough by the statue, notices the PGA crowd pointing and laughing at one of the finest examples of tacky hubris on the planet, goes into an equally monumental rage and pops a few clots and drops dead.


clever sculptor and his studio staff have programmed the statue's plinth to give way when Fatso approaches within 5 feet. Plinth gives way, statue squashes him like a bug. When the tones of bronze and gold leaf are lifted off, nothing is left but a nasty grease stain slowly oozing into the soil.

Parliamentarian

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/17/federal-funding-trump-ballroom-jeopardy-senate-ruling

A US Senate official on Saturday removed security funding that could be used for Donald Trump’s planned $400m White House ballroom from a massive spending package, Democratic lawmakers said, imperiling Republican efforts to devote taxpayer money to the contentious project.

The decision by the Senate’s parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, deals a blow to Trump and his administration, which has sought the money for security purposes related to the ballroom.

Trump has said construction of the ballroom will be funded by private donors. But Senate Republicans are seeking $1bn in taxpayer funding to the Secret Service for security upgrades, including the ballroom.
