1 Minute Political Update

Donald Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff to honor Dolly Parton whom he claimed really liked him—the only thing she liked is that he wore cheaper wigs than her—while financially-strapped cattle ranchers fumed about Trump’s plan to import cheaper beef. (The trade war with Canada is hurting them as well, which they consider a slapshot in the face.)

The U.S. will raise tariffs on Canadian vehicles to 50% because Donald Trump says they’ve been ripping us off for years—how’s that for the pot calling the kettle black, eh?—while on Sunday The IndyCar Freedom 250 Grand Prix took place on the streets of Washington, D.C. (Trump took an honorary lap before the race then took an honorary nap during it.)

The nominee for the new head of the FDA, Dr. Heidi Overton, is anti-abortion, anti-vaccine, and pro-RFK, Jr.—a hemlock cocktail if ever there was one—while Trump’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest level ever: 33 percent! (How can it be that high?)

Donald Trump called reports of deteriorating living conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were fake news—based on reports from a fictitious admiral—then he asked the Pentagon to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea because they wouldn’t join us on Iran sanctions. (And he has a hot date with Kim Jung-Un.)

After acting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dropped the reflecting pool case against a former Olympian due to zero evidence, Donald Trump was livid—he threatened to make her pet his new hairpiece—while Karoline Leavitt will soon be ex-White House press secretary, saying she wants to spend more time with her family (as opposed to the Trump Crime Family.)

Trump signed an executive order laying out new recommendations for childhood vaccinations to fend off autism (which has been proven false, but Dr. Trump knows best) while a federal court’s decision to block the construction of Trump’s $400 million ballroom has set Trump’s new hairpiece on fire. (That would be an improvement.)

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic primary for senator and the GOP’s response was lovely—Senator Mike Rogers claimed he believes America deserved 9-11—while Donald Trump said the 747 he got from Qatar is not going to his presidential library but to him personally. (Extra storage is needed for the silverware he’ll be stealing from the White House.)

A cyberattack on Minnesota’s water systems most likely came from Iran but that didn’t stop Donald Trump from blaming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—the idiocy is bottomless—while Truth Social is offering faster access to Trump’s posts for $100,000 so you can buy and sell stocks to make millions. (The grift is bottomless.)

Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before a Senate committee investigating the origins of Covid-19 and took the Fifth to avoid GOP senators prosecuting him for perjury (Spoiler alert: they will anyway) while the vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general was postponed. (Spoiler alert: the GOP will cave.)

Donald Trump’s speech at the White House Correspondents dinner did not disappoint—it was like watching paint dry in a sandstorm—while his order to post signs outside the National Museum of American History warning visitors that historical accounts of events like slavery aren’t accurate proved his racism is like his ignorance—bottomless.
