Yup, right on brand. All I can say is Trump is the trumpiest trump to ever have trumped. The fact that he keeps coming up with ways to trigger the Lefties never fails to amuse me.

And Happy Anniversary 🎉!!

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Same! (And thanks! :)

If Trump wanted to prepare Mt. Rushmore for his likeness, I wouldn’t have a problem with that. I would like it even more if project was funded by settlements won by Trump, from litigation against the Media.

John Wright's avatar

I wonder who decided which presidents should be on Mount Rushmore?

I asked Simulated Intelligence and it said the decision was made by the chief sculptor: Gutzon Borglum in consultation with the primary organizer: Doane Robinson.

Originally it was supposed to be western heroes: Lewis and Clark, Buffalo Bill Cody and Sitting Bull.

Borglum selected the four presidents based on their roles in the nation's history, aiming to cover the first 150 years of the U.S.:

George Washington: Represented the birth of the nation (Founding Father and first President).

Thomas Jefferson: Represented the growth of the nation (author of the Declaration of Independence and the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the country's size).

Theodore Roosevelt: Represented the development of the nation (industrialization, conservation efforts, and the building of the Panama Canal).

Abraham Lincoln: Represented the preservation of the nation (saving the Union during the Civil War and ending slavery).

What would Trump's selection criteria / reason be? Big ego?

MS's avatar

Would Chief Troller and Pisser Offer [of the lunatic Left] not qualify him?

John Wright's avatar

🤣 He certainly has nailed those qualifications!

We have yet to find out, but I'm hoping his major contribution will be freeing Americans from debt slavery to the rest of the world and making our economy bullet-proof for the 21st Century..

John Wright's avatar

I'm not in complete agreement with how he is doing some of these things but at the moment it looks like he might actually be successful (at least for the next five to ten years?).

Unfortunately he isn't doing anything to stop fiat currency and inflation, thus the majority of people are still stuck with "debt slavery" and steadily declining standards of living.

KBB's avatar

Trump ain't perfect and he's not doing everything. But consider the alternative. We could be dealing with President Kamalalamadingdong!!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

John, Jerome Powell may be a factor as well. There is a reason he is refusing to exit the Federal Reserve Board when his term ends.

John Wright's avatar

Yes, Powell is a problem - but the fundamental problem: fiat currency and the design of the Central banks isn't really dependent upon which person is the figurehead of the Central Banks. It's really outside the purview of Trump too, but we sure can't expect congress and the senate to fix it (they are 90% of the problem).

Jim Moore's avatar

Choices include: restoration of the nation, “the most powerful person to ever live,” most unburdened prez, funniest prez ever, best hair …

John Wright's avatar

Definitely the best sense of humor and also a President actually *doing* things and not just blowing hot air! Like him or not, at least he does something!

Restoration of the Nation

I like the way you think.

I loved the Bee’s “Washington D.T.” 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll allow it. Lololol

1. Happy anniversary!

2. When I saw todays’s title, I thought, “Of COUSE he did.”

3. Excited about the directory. Well done.

4. Now, I should probably actually READ your piece and start my day properly…

Juju's avatar

Once again I kept refreshing my app knowing Jenna drops just before 7:00 am. This time I went to her account manually and kept tapping “posts” until I saw it. It never appeared, only yesterday’s was at the top. Closed app. Reopened. Still not there. It didn’t appear for me until 11:00 am. 🫤

Substack is burying her for some reason … however my C&C immediately shows with the refresh. Just not Jenna’s.

On #4: I'm not the only one! 😆

Democrats to President Trump: "HERE'S MY HEAD - MESS WITH IT"! His ability to drive his (and our) opponents insane is wonderful! He's the best since Millard Fillmore.

MaryAnn's avatar

Sir Tom: a Never Trump friend posted about the passport before I had read about it, ignoring the fact that the Trump passport was an option. Trump clearly lives rent free in that head.

Heather B's avatar

Happy Anniversary! 🎉🍾🎊 I think it's funny that he can troll the haters just by putting his face on everything. If I were going to get a new passport I would get one with his face just because they will be collectors' items someday and my kids might make some money off of it.

Yana N.'s avatar

Can't you just declare yours lost and get the new one issued? Sure, bit of super annoying paperwork, but if I could I would. Just for the fun of it. And I think you're right on the money when you say it might be a collectors item once day.

Juju's avatar

I don’t travel and won’t need one but dang it I want to apply for one 🤣 just so I can use it as ID somewhere and watch some heads explode.

Ginny Moore's avatar

Egoists gonna ego and pearl clutchers gonna clutch. 🙄

Happy Anniversary to two bad asses. ❤️🤬🍑😘

Cynthia L Rohde's avatar

His presidential picture is mild... Be thankful he didn't put his mug shot on the passport just to poke at the other side even more.

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Cynthia, I personally like the mug shot. Have the poster of it signed by him (gold lettering naturally!) in my office.😀

Cynthia L Rohde's avatar

Haha! That is hilarious 😂

Yana N.'s avatar

I was about to ask just that, what photo, that mug shot? Or one he smiles in? Agree on the hilarious!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Yana N, it is the actual mugshot photo. The poster was a gift from the Trump campaign in exchange for a donation.

Juju's avatar

We should be allowed our choice of picture 🤣

Laura Kasner's avatar

Happy anniversary Jenna and Joe! 😘❤️

Richard Tavares Bosshardt's avatar

Jenna, LOL as usual. It amazes me that even after 10 years and the publication of his book, The Art of Deal, people still do not understand Trump. That has to be deliberate. I find myself swinging between two extremes, laughing out loud at Trump's antics and cringing at times while asking rhetorically, "Why does he keep doing crazy stuff?" (I actually know the answer, which is why it is rhetorical. I will share this with my leftist friends. It is fun to watch their heads explode! Rick

KBB's avatar

You still have leftist friends??? I had some once upon a time, but their actions during covid put a stop to that.

"Beautiful bloodline. Just tremendous. People say it’s one of the best.” OMG!! I can hear the tongue in his cheek!! I'm cracking up.

Marlene Swann's avatar

First - hoping for a wonderful Anniversary Day for you, congrats!

Second - can someone tell me without using the words tech illiterate how to find my “url?” I signed up before I even read the column, I am THAT psyched!

Third - I found myself more and more delighted as I kept reading that Trump had found yet another trigger, the man is a marketing genius.

John Wright's avatar

Excellent question (how to find your URL)! If you don't publish articles it might be hard to know what your URL is.

Yours is: https://marleneswann.substack.com/

If you go to your "Dashboard" in the upper left is a menu item "Website". If you click on that, then you can grab your URL from address bar of your browser.

Karen Bandy's avatar

John, I still don’t see my url… help pls (didn’t see the upper left website link, but I am pretty illiterate on the computer 🤪)

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

You’re making me feel normal, and for that, I am

grateful. 😉

John Wright's avatar

Substack really is a *nightmare* for finding this info. I finally found yours:

https://karenbandy.substack.com/

Karen Bandy's avatar

You’re a dear, thank you! I owe you a ☕️

John Wright's avatar

You are welcome. I love substack, but the user interface is horrible! I find it extremely hard to do things in substack (searching is outright poor).

Roberta Stack's avatar

Trump is hilarious! He’s so entertaining but it is weird that he wants his name on everything. But I’m not bothered by it.

And Happy Anniversary you two!❤️❤️

CraigN's avatar

"Maybe you’ll get a shot at performing at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner. "

I see what you did there, a shot. 🤣

la chevalerie vit's avatar

Happy anniversary! Off now to search the dept of state website for details!

After the new bills come out he will need his own musical too, and opening song. Trumpahoma! A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Trumpiseum. Trumpspell. The Trumpion King. The Sound of Trump. Donalds and Dolls. The Donald of the Opera. Beauty and The Donald.

Bahahahaha!

Patti F's avatar

He trolls them again and again and they STILL don't catch on. It's brilliant.

John Wright's avatar

Directory comment: Thank you!!!! It doesn't seem to be searchable by state. I think that would be the most useful search. I'm not looking for other people two streets over, but people somewhere within driving distance (same state or adjacent state or somewhere I'm traveling to).

Trump is being Trump! He puts a lot of attention into marketing himself! Note: if getting rich is your objective, you might want to study what he does and understand the strategy.

Directory: Oops... is there a way to edit our listing? I forgot to put my last name on it!

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Ugh, I don't know why... it's supposed to be searchable exactly that way (like first three numbers of your zip, etc.). Weirdly, it DOES work for random words--I just popped in "author" and found many! Easy workaround: Use your browser's innate "find" feature and jump from one to the next??? Thanks for the feedback!

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Oh, as for editing, I don't think so (sorry). You can copy your about stuff and then fill out a NEW profile and delete the original? (Or if you're unable to delete, I can do it. LMK!)

John Wright's avatar

I've added myself a second time. I clicked on the X to "remove" my old one but it's still there!

John Wright's avatar

It seems to be good at searching the "city" and the person's description. But not state. 😢

Jim Moore's avatar

Any secret or subconscious reason why your hubby stood on a cliff to express his love for you? Did he think it a “She loves me!” or “She loves me naaaaaaaaaht” moment? 🤭

(Congrats on your quarter century+ together!)

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Bahahaha it was just a beautiful spot... I think! (FUN FACT: we eloped in Mendocino, just the two of us; exchanged vows on the cliffs at the Heritage House Inn, where they filmed "Same Time, Next Year.")

Doug's avatar

I know that spot! Very romantic!

My wife and I exchanged vows at a music festival in front of a huge rusty rhino sculpture made out of an old milk truck - still drivable!
