Donald I, emperor of the world.

It has been checked and verified as real. I was sceptical at first as well. Quite a few of his Pope hating evangelicals are quite upset by this which can only be a good thing.

It's a real post but a joke, as was widely reported by US outlets. I think some might see it as a bit inappropriate so soon after the funeral. It's only people who took it as a serious proposition who are getting hung up about it.

Trump joked in his press conference on the White House Lawn that he would like to be the next pope, but even for him, it really came across as a joke.

You never know.
Since the Canadian electorate gave him the middle finger, he’s looking for a new 51st state.

I'd have thought Scotland would be a better bet, since he owns little bits of it already, and is almost universally loved there.

Despite not being in charge for the full period and increased traffic to avoid tariffs, Trump has still managed to contract the economy by 0.3% (annualised). Some skills.

In January he tweeted that the stock market boom was due to him not Biden.

Today he tweeted that the stock market decline was to due to Biden not him.

Always the victim, never to blame.

In the meantime, here's a US president being interviewed in his Nursing Home

I'm just amazed that they found someone who could cope with interviewing Trump for 40 minutes and not wanting to shout at him that he's a farking imbecile.

An attempt at “give enough rope”?

Janey's dead now so the love is universal.

I don't believe it. Joe Biden has crashed the US economy.

I know. It's amazing isn't it how he managed to rig it so it rose all the way through his four years as POTUS and crashed within 100 days of his leaving. Genius (though I'm a bit confused as I thought he was mentally unfit... but hey.)

I see Trump is pulling the "You'll have to be patient to see the benefits of Trumpism" mantra. I wonder how long it will be before they say that because of Biden that Trumpism wasn't done properly, which is why years later it still isn't working.

To early to tell?

I do hope this is true.

I see that there have now been modifications the tariffs for car makers.
