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!

Doug's avatar

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).

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

If there were anything that Trump (or anyone else) could do to stop"fiat currency and inflation", the only thing he (or anyone else) could do would be to end the Federal Reserve... then they wouldn't have needed three assassination attempts... think JFK.

John Wright's avatar

Judy Shelton has a very interesting proposal to issue gold backed treasury notes as a method to transition back to a gold standard instead of just flat out making a very difficult change.

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!

Juju's avatar

Restoration of the Nation

Tonee norman's avatar

I’m sure he could tell you 😉

John Wright's avatar

He could! And it would be "huge". 🤣

Tonee norman's avatar

I think you mean “YUUUUGE”😉

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Tonee! I noticed your comment in the directory; you missed Ame Harrington-Pickens (@ame on Substack). She's in Sac town! :)

N. Walker's avatar

There’s not enough stone to carve Trump’s ego out of 🤭

David Nelson's avatar

If Trump was to put his head on Rushmore, I'm thinking "We're gonna need a bigger mountain..."

John Wright's avatar

No doubt we'd have to pick a bigger mountain and rename it "Mount Trump".

David Nelson's avatar

And it would need to be MOVED where the most people can see it!

Or Sacramento.

John Wright's avatar

Yes, yes, we couldn't have it out in some obscure state like South Dakota!

David Nelson's avatar

On the other hand, South Dakota is perfectly suited geologically to sport an image of President Donald John Trump's face visible from outer space. That would also be a big inducement for him to put one or two of his presidential libraries, and golf resorts, or mega-cineplexes, there.

MS's avatar

[in a Trump voice] "I think my sculpture is fantastic, some people say it's the greatest sculpture to ever have been sculpted; I think it's even better"

David Nelson's avatar

Can't argue with that. (No. Really. No one can. It's impossible.)

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

Mount Rushmore wouldn't do at all... I'm thinking Pike's Peak... and only one head.

PEL's avatar

He should be on Mt Rushmore!!!

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

I like the way you think.

Juju's avatar

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

Joan Hirzel's avatar

Omg I am rotfl. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

It was good, but "the Big Don" got my vote! LingOL!

David Nelson's avatar

MS, the fact is "that he keeps trumping up trump to trump the Lefties." Donald won't rest until the word "trump" has more definitions in the unabridged dictionary than the current, chump, record-holder.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

Honestly, I think he's vieing for Chuck Norris's title.

🌱Nard🙏's avatar

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.

🌱Nard🙏's avatar

It does the same w me on C&C sometimes…I think they’ve gone to the dark side :/.

Keith Jajko's avatar

On #4: I'm not the only one! 😆

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.

Heather B's avatar

$130 to renew it and I am giving it serious thought!

Sir Tom of Northfield's avatar

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.

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.

Yana N.'s avatar

My comment was referring to Cynthia's, but thanks for sharing that Jennifer. Can't stop laughing they'd do that, how apt and of course gold ink is perfect, we all know that gold trumps all colours, right? 😉😀

Juju's avatar

We should be allowed our choice of picture 🤣

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.

Lori's avatar

exactly. don't want any of that kind of parasite near me.

Tonee norman's avatar

I live with quite a bit of cognitive dissonance as I actually deeply care for many of my “lefties”. It doesn’t help me to poke them due to their nonsense. However,it is extremely funny to watch “lefties losing it” and see ones I DONT know heads explode 🤯😂

Laura Kasner's avatar

Happy anniversary Jenna and Joe! 😘❤️

Kitt Lo's avatar

"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.

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.

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.

Marlene Swann's avatar

Can’t believe I actually understood all that - so thanks much, John! Now I have to go back to the register here link of Jenna’s and edit it. We shall see…. Thanks again!

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 🤪)

Tonee norman's avatar

I’m afraid to look,now,because I don’t know what a “dashboard “ is..

Marlene Swann's avatar

Ha ha Tonee I laughed so hard at that! (In a good way!)

Tonee norman's avatar

As it turned out,I didn’t need to KNOW what a “dashboard “ was in order to join the list that Jenna made for us..it appears I might have misunderstood the conversation 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m always pleased to know someone is amused by something I say ☺️

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).

Flippin’ Jersey's avatar

Nothing funnier than Trump trolling and watching everyone react, it’s hilarious!

Corey's avatar

Sign me up for that passport! I'll get it just so I can troll every liberal security and gate agent for the next nine years. Forget real ID, I'm travelling domestically with my pretty new passport!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Corey, near as I know the Trumports are only for those who apply in person at the WashingtonDC Passport Office and only a certain number will be issued somewhere around America’s #250 birthday. So book a flight to DC and get there early. 🇺🇸😃

Corey's avatar

I just saw that! That makes me so sad! Welp....looks like we're taking a family trip!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Corey, God bless and safe travels!

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!❤️❤️

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Jenna. I first heard about the “Trumport”on Jewels and Catturd’s In The Litterbox podcast. My first thought was “I want one of those even if our passports do not need renewal until 2034!” So I looked it up and sadly the Trumports have to be applied for IN PERSON in Washington DC. From what I read they will not be available online or anywhere else. But one can hope…..

Blessings on your 26th Anniversary. My husband and I will celebrate #46 in the fall. God is good and good spouses are a gift from God.

FLGenX's avatar

“Trumports have to be applied for IN PERSON in Washington DC… not available online” oh wow! If that’s true, that’s really important detail for me to toss back at my cousin while he’s screaming over this latest Trump Trigger. Thanks!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

FLGenX, that was what AI said when I internet searched Trump #250 passport. Plus it is a limited number of them being offered.

The “king” of trolling the deranged left.
