(Though with her blonde hair and trash talk, no one will know the difference.)

Donald Trump called Michigan Democratic senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed a jihadist lunatic who hates America—projection, anyone?—then he made a deal with Putin to buy Russian diesel and lambasted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for not stopping a war Russia started. (Russia, Russia, Russia, anyone?)

At a recent rally, Donald Trump reiterated that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon but if they did, they can take out a U.S. city, specifically San Diego and LA—stay classy, Donny—while Democrats are suing the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money for TV ads promoting Trump. (Stay classy, GOP.)

Recently, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett claimed Donald Trump has created a golden age—yes, if you’re a billionaire—while Trump told a crowd in Ohio that if they get out and vote, Republicans will win big. (He left out the fact that if they don’t get out and vote, he’ll make sure to cheat.)

During testimony regarding his investigations into Donald Trump, former special counsel Jack Smith was called a dirtbag by GOP senators—Nuremberg trial, anyone?—while the Trump administration is sending $500 refund checks to millions of Obamacare enrollees to help pay for premiums that are unaffordable. (Thanks to Republians who cut the enhanced subsidies.)

Donald Trump banned CNN from Air Force One because they only report fake news—like high gas prices, high food prices, and high inflation—then went to Iowa to unveil plans for the largest steel plant in U.S. history, which will open in 2030. (And go bankrupt in 2031.)

Donald Trump continues to diss Americans who are struggling due to high gas prices, claiming they have to suck it up to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon—he’s gaslighting with premium gas—while he continues to lie that he went to Ground Zero the day after 9/11. (He’s a gasbag filled with premium gas.)

The Trump administration plans to break ground on the 250-foot arch near the National Mall despite an ongoing lawsuit. (The Supreme Court will rule on it AFTER it’s built.) Meanwhile, funding for bike lanes is being cut from a Biden-era infrastructure bill because Trump sees them as DEI pet projects—it’s a very unfunny, very dangerous woke joke.

A U.S. Postal Service whistleblower revealed that Trump officials were defying a court order and implementing a plan to prevent millions from receiving mail-in ballots (fascism, anyone?) while the U.S. Mint announced that $1 coins featuring Trump’s portrait are available for purchase (grift, anyone?).

Donald Trump signed an executive order changing Lake Ontario to Lake America amid his trade war with Canada—he’s a brilliant tactician, ain’t he?—then he railed against communities who don’t want data centers, claiming they’ll end up poor. (That train has left the station—and the poor are under it.)
